Background
The following is Brad Robert's description of the series:
| “ | After becoming married, i wanted to show my beloved my favorite part of Canada - Cape Breton. So, we picked a town and some lodgings and stayed for a while. We were fortunate enough to meet some locals right away, all of them musical, and all very good people. My wife and I have been very close ever since meeting them 5 years ago. We go there each summer, and each summer I record a song about the local culture and characters. These were initially made for a charity to build a park in Englishtown, Cape Breton. The money was raised at an event called the Lobster Bash, hence the Lobster Bash Song and ensuing recordings. All of the Lobster Bash tunes are very Celtic, in keeping with the area's thriving Celtic culture. | ” |

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
