The original show was known as "At the Caribou" featuring Harry Hibbs with and Johnny Burke and the Caribou Showband. However in 1973 the show in this taping featured Terry Hynes and Shrimp cocktail for one season before the show was renamed the "Harry Hibbs Show" and the taping was relocated to the Newfoundland club in Cambridge (Galt) and once again featured Johnny Burke with his new band "Eastwind"

As A Kid my mom bought me a few of Harry Hibbs Albums LPs in the day and I learned how to sound just like he did on my button Accordion Diatonic hohner he was an amazing musician too bad we lost him so early in his life.

Hard to believe 1973 was 50 years ago. This was prime time for me ! Fred McKenna was a Canadian gem as was Harry Hibbs. God rest their souls.

I also get a kick out of the Newfie way of dancing as compared with the Irish. They were certainly leaving enough room for the Holy Ghost being so far apart.

First time i seen this youtube posting. Lots of memories ,not of the Caribou club but of Harry's music. A NEWFOUNDLAND icon along with John White, Dick Nolan, A Frank Willis,Joan Morrisey and lots of talent in today's ERA - Peter Jacobs, etc.. Fred Mckenna too was superb. Had to be a great spot for Newfoundlanders and others back then. Greetings from the east coast of Nfld. to all. Keep Newfoundland music alive-I dont think there is another province in Canada with so much traditional music talent.

Freddy McKenna and some of his friends were with my family one time, and they went to Dark Harbour to see the sunset. Someone in the group asked what direction that was. Freddy said, where he grew up, the sun set in the west. Quite a put down to be told what direction you are looking in by a blind man.

I can't say one way or another, but as a button accordion player I can say that it's definitely way easier/ more comfortable to play sitting down!

@martyhibbs3989 5 жыл бұрын

Originally Harry was injured the first time he appeared in public but that was not the reason. It is quite a workout to stand, sing and play for as much as an hour without sitting Jenny. Harry used a custom made stool on most occasions. Thank you for your question.
