ok just a bit of thread drift...drifting with the tide here..
there are two great collections of songs about paddling on the water
(all be it Canoe songs) which might appeal to those of you
who have to bide your time between paddling adventures..

Canoesongs, volume 1 and 2 are put out by Portage Productions
Paul and Bev Mills -0- the Millstream, toronto...sound familiar?
This was a collaboative effort between James Ralfan and Paul Mills,
and is a benefit for a canoe museum (maybe they allow kayaks, too?)

check their web site--www.canoesongs.ca (should i start a new thread specifiacally about canoes or is this close enough?)

they have a lovely display rack for their discs..i would love to
see this on every counter where canoes, kayaks and paddles are sold!
