Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Along the French Shore
Thanks for your excellent detective work John & Malcolm. There's another song I've heard Jim sing that I'd like to ask him about--many years ago I saw him sing at an open stage in Ottawa. He performed an Ontario folk song in a minor key, about some high-living stranger coming to a farming community. There was a line about how us farmers had never heard of taking a drink so early in the day.

Well, they did call it Ontario the Good for a reason...

Ring any bells? Or can you pass this question to Jim for me?
