Thanks Lee. I'm just a big fan of this song and as you can imagine the last thing i want to do is destroy it. It was hard to sync him up cus he is playing live (of course) and he's moving around in terms of meter. But that makes the song breathe. I miss those days. scott
Thanks for this Scott. Sad that we have to redo this again and at Christmas time. Yeah that Bay of Fundy water runs deep and cold and has been angry recently. Hard to think of them in that.
I just love this and any other song that celebrates how great it is to live in The Great White North. Just found the Canadian version of "This Land is My Land". Next thing I'm going to search is Roger Whittaker's "Canada Is" and then, "They All Call It Canada". And then, of course, the song that was sung to celebrate Canada's centennial , They bring back good memories.
The song dates from 1964 in those heady days of the new flag, the Centennial, and expo 67, though it did become widely popular into the early 70s due in no small part to it being the unofficial standard of that iconic program 'Don Messer's Jubiliee.
Seems I've known this song my whole life. My mother pounded this song out on the piano a thousand times. She was an American that just LOVED Canada. "Hello Mom" and Happy Birthday Canada!!!!
