Hello all- what an interesting thread!
As I sit here in rainy Halifax, I can think of a hundred songs with Canadian place names , and a good few writtien by friends of mine which probably few have heard ,except in sessions around Nova Scotia. If only I could type better , I could submit a whole raft of them :o)
Hipflask Andy, you sound familiar....
I'm very much looking forward to Whitby in a few weeks, with my finace , Iain, of keepers Fold

I shall check back often, with geography, pronunciation and lyrics :o)
