MUSIC. >> AND WE ARE BACK HERE AT THE SUDBURY SECONDARY AUDITORIUM. YOU'VE HEARD OF KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS, HOW ABOUT CANUCKY BLUEGRASS. THAT IS THE SUDBURY VERSION OF THIS MUSIC. I'M HERE WITH THE BOYS AND I WANT TO GET A CUP OF QUICK QUESTIONS IN WITH MACK, WHY THIS KIND OF MUSIC, GIVE US AN IDEA HOW THIS GROUP GOT TOGETHER AND WHY A GUY LIKE YOU DIGS BLUEGRASS MUSIC? >> I DIG BLUEGRASS MUSIC FOR ONE REASON ONLY BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST MUSIC OUT THERE. WE BASICALLY FORMED ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO RIGHT HERE IN SUDBURY, ONTARIO, AND WE'VE JUST BEEN ENJOYING IT EVER SINCE. >> IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS. TALK TO THEM OUT IN THE HALL, THEY'RE ALL JOKING, NOBODY IS NERVOUS AT ALL, THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY AN ORIGINAL THAT YOU WROTE. TELL ME ABOUT THIS ONE. >> THIS SONG THAT I WROTE, IT WAS BASICALLY INSPIRED THROUGH MINING SEEING THAT THERE'S A LOT OF MINING TOWNS AROUND HERE IN NORTHERN ONTARIO AND THIS IS A SONG THAT'S CALLED "THE GOOD MAN" THAT BASICALLY TALKS ABOUT GOOD, HARD-WORKING MEN TRYING TO MAKE AN HONEST LIVING. >> LOTS OF THOSE OUT THERE. ***, THE KANUCKY BLUEGRASS BOYS HERE FOR YOU ON THE TELETHON. ENJOY.
