Berni G in Kenora
The opportunity to audition for a well- known Winnipeg CKRC Radio show, found her moving to Winnipeg at 18. There, she spent the next 25 years on radio and in the booming cabaret scene, sharing the stage with such greats as Sarah Vaughn, Sophie Tucker, Louis Armstrong, the Mills Brothers and Earl Grant to name-drop a few. Berni’s brand of humour (only slightly off-colour by today’s standards) was edgy enough to have a major hotel cabaret shut down for a night by the Liquor Commission. “Could you hear us while you were in the bathroom, Sir? No?? Well, we could hear you !”
Berni G Appears on the Stu Davis show
Berni inevitably became an early darling on CBC – TV’s (CBWT) Stu Davis Show where her true cowgirl side made an appearance, accompanied by the Tumbleweed Trio. That show became a long-running television favourite called the Red River Jamboree.
Berni is still pounding the ivories on a regular basis on her home territory (the Sunshine Coast of BC), where people love her as they always have.
