Shirley Bergeron Interview, 1983
Marc was a good friend of Shirley’s father, Alphée Bergeron, and his band The Veteran Playboys. He got me to listen to their CDs, especially Shirley singing Quelle Etoile! What a voice. Shirley had rigged up a steel guitar by adding a pedal to change the key on the steel as he played and he is actually credited for developing this idea in this area.
