TF003 Alberta: A Tale of Two Families - a podcast by Mike Tod

This is the story of two families, from opposite sides of North America, with two totally different lives, who intertwined in some very interesting ways. The first is The Carter Family from Virginia, considered one of the founding families of Americana, whose recordings from the early 1900s influenced countless listeners. The second is The Romaniuk Family, an unknown family band from the foothills of Alberta. This episode investigates both The Carter and Romaniuk families, from their early beginnings, to their eventual meeting, and how an unheard-of cover band from Alberta came to be involved with one of the greatest musical groups of the 20th century.
