New Orleans legends Danny Barker, Placide Adams, and Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes in a commercial c. 1990

A Canadian commercial, made by the Toronto office of Bozell, and filmed in New Orleans somewhere around 1990. New Orleans was chosen because the actors could manage singing in both French and English, and the Quebec consumers found the New Orleans accent extra-charming. A pretty mainstream jingle spot of the time, but some tasteful work by Producer Libby Barrett, Creative Director Bill Martin and the late Art Director and painter Dermot O'Brien

My friend, Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes on accordion. “Some pick ‘em for the apple crackle.” 😅

@@musicartgeek Yes, indeed. He’s a man of many talents and friends. Travels all over the world now sharing his music. And his son is a musician, too.
