I remember we did a dance at Fisher River(sunnyValley) No Cliff? At about 11:00 pm that night, big snow storm on, the door of the hall opened up, and in came Cliff with Violin under his arm, he walked right up to me on stage and said, you son of a gun, you told me Fisher Branch, not Fisher River, then he broke into his famous grin and said that's ok, after I apologized, and we had a good laugh and Cliff gave the crowd Big John Mcniel Jig and the dance floor was packed. He was the Best. Orville - Posted by: Orville Stefanson (One of the best guys and friend to have in a band, you never had to worry about Cliff making it to a) on: Aug 11, 2014
