and Goofy's not such a good banjo player either...

I believe that because of our small population and vast expanse of territory, there is a different perspective. You get 100 miles north of the border and it's different.... When I was in Northwest Territories a few years back.... there was so little outside stimulus that songs of the North just about wrote themselves... when I did a show there and played a few, folks thought I was from there and had been hiding out in the Nahanni like old Albert Failey.... and as Mick said, each region is unique.... like fingerprints.... some folklore in Quebec goes back centuries... never mind Celine and poutine... although they're okay if you have the appetite.. Stompin' Tom Connors wrote hundreds of songs about small towns, local lore, and drifting around... and he did well by it.....

The spuds are big on the back of Bud's rig and they're from Prince Edward Island"
