Griff may have written the lyrics but the reference and line came from Ted Daigle a brilliant entertainer from his youth - terrific singer and played a fine guitar. Ted was from Jacquet River and moved to Bathurst where he began his radio career. He moved on to Ottawa and became an announceer and station manager at CKOY and launched a very successful career in country music with a huge audience in Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley. He was a smart kid in school but distracted to become a singer, musican and entertainer. A pro even in grade five. Regards, Mac
