Wayne Chaulk ("Buddy Wassisname and the Other Fellers") says "Ron's got to be good right - he's got Newfoundland blood!)...and,

Newfoundland and Labrador singer-songwriter Matthew Byrne (solo performer and lead singer/bouzouki player for CBC "Q" host Tom Power's band "The Dardanelles")  says "If you're a fan of great folk and traditional music, you'll find it here, where Ron is dusting off old gems and showcasing what's new and exciting in East Coast folk!"
