Song about being Canadian

[Charles J. White]

 

[Charles J. White]

This is another one of those classic Canadian songs that just sort of makes sense for whatever reason

 

[Charles J. White]

Another one these songs that I find myself listening to when I'm driving West and back East again on the Trans-Canada Highway

I have a friend who did 2 tours of duty in Afghanistan and is getting ready to head out to Iraq soon - whenever that person leaves, I worry and think about this song a lot

This is another one of those classic I hear on the radio a lot:

The line "dreams about England on their mind" is such a classic line for Canadians who are over 30

For all of their critics. this song is all about small town north Alberta - and they nailed it! It really is about small town Canada!!! I actually got to hang out with Chad for a little while downtown Halifax at a place called the Liquor Dome - it's the great dance club and bar in Halifax in the middle of the city just up from the waterfront. And I liked the guy a lot, he was small town Canada and he made it, so good for him!

I understand people think Dylan was a poet and story teller, but this guy was the real deal:

I have met Gordie a number of times - in fact, before Big Sugar signed a record deal he played Halifax at either a place called the Double Deuce or Dalhousie University I can't really remember anymore. He also did a GIbson guitar clinic in Halifax which I attended that was a lot of fun and I bumped into him as he was walking to the clinic from his hotel just checking out Halifax.

Yeah... i've run into Gordie a bunch of times here , hella nice person too. Seen Grady a bunch of times too.

Have you ever heard of this Canadian fellow?  He was Bluesman from  Hamilton, Ontario   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Biscuit_Boy  Killer harmonica player .
