Thank you very much for your ears...	In 2012, Cardiff was nominated for a Juno Award for Roots and Traditional Album of the Year: Solo; and for a Canadian Folk Music Award as Contemporary Singer of the Year. ...Not comfortable writing musical bios and/or resumes. Play accordion, harmonica, guitar and sing. Fairly regularly. Blessed to know so many wonderful musicians who will accompany/tolerate me. Hurled challenge at Walter Ostanek during a drunken rampage at a rare public appearance (the drunken rampage was mine and the rare public appearance his) for a polka-off, which was never recognized. I asked him to wager his Juno. Often found in living rooms and church basements.
