Before Mom's family had a piano in Cape Breton, she learned to play the rhythms on a piece of board, and the fiddlers would all congregate to play on the cold winter's evenings and Mom would be banging on this board, so when they bought a piano, they bought it in Toronto and had it taken by train and brought in on a horse, a horse and sleigh to the house.
Antes de que la familia de mamá tuviera un piano en el Cabo Bretón, aprendió a tocar los ritmos en una tabla, y los violinistas solían reunirse para tocar en las frías tardes de invierno, y mamá golpeaba esta tabla, así que cuando compraron un piano, lo compraron en Toronto y lo llevaron a casa en tren y a caballo, un caballo con un trineo.
