Gaby (Gabriel) Haas b. Frantiskovy Lázne, Czechoslovakia, 7 Nov 1920 / d. Edmonton 22 Nov 1987
Was a western Canadian band leader, leading his Barn Dance
Gang through the 1950s and 60s. His family moved to Canada when he was 18
in the late 1930s and settled on a farm near Loon Lake, Saskatchewan where
he began playing his accordion at local dances and on CFQC Saskatoon radio.
He became a Canadian citizen in 1943.
He later moved to Alberta and had his own radio shows on the All-Alberta
radio network CKUA called ‘Continental Musicale’ which was the longest-running
radio program in the world with the same airtime, day of broadcast, and host.
He also had other shows on other networks, like the CBC. Haas, who was given
the appellation 'Canada's Mr. Polka', began recording in 1950 with The Barndance
Gang and made over 50 albums, mostly of polkas and waltzes. Comedian John
Candy said that Haas was the inspiration for the Shmenge Brothers on the
SCTV comedy program created in 1982. Candy played clarinetist Yosh Shmenge
and Eugene Levy was his accordionist brother Stan Shmenge.

Lucille Marie Raymonde Savoie b. May 13, 1938, Saint Boniface, MB
“When The Sun Says Good Day To The Mountains”, a.k.a. “The French Song” or
"Quand Le Soleil Dit Bonjour Aux Montagnes" was written by two American songwriters:
Harry Pease & Larry Vincent in the early 1930s. It was first recorded
in French by Carmel Bishet (sp) in 1936. A great English version by Gerry
Myers & The Bunkhouse Boys was recorded in the mid-1950s.
Although The French Song was a huge international hit for Lucille Starr in
1964, it was the second time that she recorded it; the first time in the
early 1950s with then-husband, country music star Bob Regan, but it didn’t
do much then.
"Bob & Lucille" recorded several singles 1958 and that met with modest
success on the Pacific coast and in 1963 they signed with A&M Records
and began recording as "The Canadian Sweethearts". Starr wanted to have another
go at "The French Song" with Herb Alpert as producer. It was recorded in
both French and English. In 1964, at a time when The Beatles dominated the
music charts, "The French Song" was an international hit that made Starr
the first Canadian artist to have a record sell over a million copies. She
was asked to appear on big American radio and TV programs, like the Louisiana
Hayride and WLS Chicago’s popular National Barn Dance show. She also
sang the song on American pop music shows Shindig! and Hullabaloo.
