I still have this. It is from 1967. I remember we had gone to the Calgary Stampede (Alberta) and WILF CARTER was playing there. He was a loved Canadian musical artist *back* in the Day (In the USA he was known as MONTANA SLIM- SEE BELOW). We ended getting to be right close to him after the show and my Dad did not have any paper on him so he pulled out this Dollar Bill and got Wilf Carter Signature. Family item/heirloom with memories for me.

Wilfred Arthur Charles Carter (December 18, 1904 – December 5, 1996), professionally known as Wilf Carter in his native Canada and also as Montana Slim in the USA, was a Canadian country music singer, songwriter, guitarist, and yodeller. Widely acknowledged as the father of Canadian country music, Carter was Canada's first country music star, inspiring a generation of young Canadian performers.

**Did not know which category to put under as this Dollar Bill is not USA. I think the Money Category here needs to be re-vamped too
Here is a link to Youtube Sample of his music/songs. WILF CARTER:

The year the loonie came out I was a grocery store bag boy. We brought the carts to the car and put them in. For some reason a dollar became change and my tips quadrupled. I was loven the loonie. Wild Carter was one of dads favs. My uncles name is Hank Snow not the singer remember him. Been looking for a record of him .
Very neat story and memory.... Love it!!!!

My dad used to play Wilf Carter records. Thanks for the memory Rose:))
Very interesting. After reading this I had to go and dig out my old Valdy album with the song "Ode to Wilf Carter" on it. Now it's going through my mind like an ear-worm and won't stop. Cool souvenir, none the less. Cheers!
