A long career began at age nine for Jesse Wardle from Dropmore as neighbor Garnet Laflar taught him fiddle. He formed a local five‑man band, played for about $1.35 to $1.50 a night, and remained devoted to fiddle through war years, later returning to frequent performances for crowds over 600. He collects big band records and favors Jim Reeves while eyeing Roblin Museum Days on July 8.
