ABOUT THE SONG:
While it’s not a Bob King original, “Let’s Make a Fair Trade” was the other side of one of Bob’s RCA Canada releases (before he left the label for Rodeo Records in Halifax, Nova Scotia.) It was an honour to record this song with my Dad, Ralph. My Dad’s passion for classic country music was one of the strongest and earliest influences I can recall. Dad taught himself to sing and play guitar in the Ottawa Valley by listening to the WWVA’s Wheeling Jamboree over an old radio. His country band played for dances around the Pembroke area almost every weekend until my sister and I came along, and he’s especially fond of a song with a “good dance beat.”
