  1. 1.  Perry William CRAFT was born on 30 Mar 1928 in Cambridge, Queens, New Brunswick; died on 10 May 2015 in Saint John, Saint John, New Brunswick.

    Notes:

    Perry W. Craft was born on March 30, 1928, in Cambridge, Queens, NB. Perry first became interested in “Country Music” when he listened to Don Messer and His New Brunswick Lumberjacks on the radio. This influenced him to take violin lessons. He quickly became bored with classical music and decided to apply what he had learned to playing country music. By the time he was 16, he was playing for dances all around the country.
    In 1948, he joined the Maritime Farmer Barn Dance Band in Saint John. They had a half-hour radio show each Saturday night and played for dances four to six nights a week. They also toured Nova Scotia playing at various locations throughout the province. In 1957, the band had a half-hour show on CHSJ-TV each week. Perry’s work forced him to give up band work in 1958, but he continued to play and enter competitions when his work permitted. He still plays for special functions and gatherings around the province.
    Perry took first place in the Fiddle Contest at the Atlantic National Exhibition in 1967 and 1968 and second place in 1982 and 1983. Perry and his wife Marilyn live in Quispamsis. They have two children, Mrs. Barbara Lowney and Dr. James Craft, both of Saint John. (Source)
