Subject: RE: BS: Geographic Satisfaction.
Not folk - but I was pretty thrilled when I saw why "the Mississippi Delta (was) shining like a national guitar," also from Paul Simon's Graceland (which had been the favorite in the car's tape deck for the past thousand miles or so). My trio also sang "Are You From Bevan" loudly in the car when we visited Courtenay and Comox. And my singing partner was more than thrilled when we visited the grave of Ginger Coffey, also on Vancouver Island, and sang the song that told the story of his murder over union activities. I'm ashamed to say that I don't remember that song now - I'll have to look for it. And I always sing "The Kettle valley Line", whenever I drive up into the interior of B.C. and see the sign for Kettle Valley.
