Hay Meself!
No apologies necessary.
As a child I remember Catherine MacKinnon's record being played in the house and was fascinated to hear the word Chezzetcook being mentioned in song. It made me feel very proud to be from this no name village. And I'm not shitting ya. I do remember this.
Now here is a different take on the line "Chezzetcook is represented by the Husky Black and Tan".
To find the following proof would take more than just stories told however. There are two possible connections.
One) Trade often took place in goods as well as a little hankie pankie in the barns or out in the fields with the young ladies and men of Preston. Preston being a well known black community in the Nova Scotia area.
Two) And most likely closer to the truth, Chezzetcook is an Indian "MicMac" (Mi'Kmaq) village name. What I was told is that Chezzetcook comes from the Chief's name. Anyway, a young lady of 94 told stories of the marriages between the two cultures. She use to tell us young ones stories of the Indian village located on a point of land (As we knew it. "The Brick Yard".)located in the Chezzetcook harbor. And so the rest is history. If you visit Chezzetcook today, look at the old folks and you can still see in some families "the black and tan". I won't say "Husky' as I don't believe that word applies to the present generation.
In regards to the Cape Breton connection I don't have a clue except maybe to say that the lines fit well together and threw us all off as Dylan would do. In closing I have two more things to add.
The 94 lady is still alive and doing very well living at home.
and last week tomorrow Mum passed away at 91. Two weeks before I was up in London Ontario and sang her a good hour of Maritime folk lore songs one of which was the song we are speaking about.
