Very slow learner. Been AFK a few days too.

Check out other thread -- voice shot all to...well, not too awful, but kinda crumby from a mild reguritated stomach acid condition(LPR)...which I *think* seems to be healing but it's going kinda slow...

Still, if I return to song circle two or three months from now with this one under my belt, that'd be sweet.

And hey, Robin, do you already know about the Ottawa Song Circle? Should I add you to their e-mail list? Have I made an utter fool of myself by forgetting that we've been introduced?

Jim, it doesn't sound traditional to me either, reminds me of: My Brother, Sylveste, and either the local singer (who, yes, has refused to write it down, though he otherwise seems like a considerate guy) has utterly changed the pauses or Breezy has put commas into...odd...places. "Went to find, a nest" has NO pause the way I know the song.

Canada Geese are real geese, sure, but when I hear "geese" alone, I think of those giant snow white, orange-billed duck-like things, one or two of which always seem to find their way into urban aquatic bird gatherings.

Personally, I think Breezy just hasn't had a chance to check in with his mate who sings this yet. Anyway, I must away to some chores! Vrooom, vroom...vacuuming is a good background to singing, ain't it?
