In assembling this archive, recording artist Billy Chernoff supplied some of his late father's record collection. One in the collection, was this rare one-off; a record made in 1955 on a home-recording machine.

It was thought that it was most likely Peter Fredericks who brought the machine over to the Chernoff's house to record, but upon further investigation it turned out that Peter (Buckskin Pete) Koftinoff had a recording machine in the early 50s and he too at that time and had interaction with the Grand Forks, BC (and region) Doukhobors. Says Peter, "I did so many of them I really don't remember. We were very good friends with old Bill" (Bill senior, Billy's late father).

Peter Koftinoff explains, "From 1950-1958 I had a business called Sunshine Valley Recording Club where people paid $20 a year and they had the use of my recording equipment, along with me. I had a lot of memmbers... It was fun!"

*This recording has been denoised, declicked and remastered as well as these old warn (and delicate) discs could reasonably be done. One has to realize that the acetate coating on these discs was soft so a vibrating record needle could encode it
