I love Gus's accent too. I was wondering: What accent is it?
Actually, Michael Mahonen, who plays Gus made up the accent - or so I read in an interview with him once. I think it's a mix of accents - Irish, maritimer...

Re: Just watched the first season of Raod to Avonlea...for the first time
Some of these are excerpted from the Q&A on an MM site...
The "Gus" accent...
It is part Irish and part Maritime Canadian, from my understanding. Mick's real-life voice sounds nothing like Gus's.
His heritage...
A. Michael has said (in a guest book), "... I am first and foremost a Canadian. More particularly from Kirkland Lake in Northern Ontario, and must say that I'm proud of it. As far as heritage; my mother is Irish/Finnish, and my father is Finnish/Finnish. I feel a great affinity to both the Irish and Finnish in my background. Nations that have had to fight to maintain their cultures, identities and borders and have refused to relinquish any of these..." (Short version: 3/4 Finnish and 1/4 Irish, but 100% Canadian.  )
Can he play the fiddle for real?
A: "I studied, and did learn to play several of Gus's song," Mickey answered," but never as well as Gus was able to play; so, any music you hear is being played by a musician, and not me".
