Thanks, Adrien - that's what I was looking for! That seems to me about half-way between the Dubs and John Denver. I may be mistaken, but I think I detect a couple of affected 'Americanisms' in Gordon B.'s pronunciations, in the singing - as if he had listened to the JD version one too many times ....

FWIW, here's a good song I came across: Along the North Shore .

And, just because it's a great song, by Eddy Quinn - unfortunately, the sound is a little mushy, so some of the lyrics get lost: The Girl From Gaspereaux .
