Metchosin;

Didn't realize it was still in print. Yes, I have a copy and it's well worn. There is, or was, an LP that came with it. Are you still able to get it? If not, it should be reissued on CD.

Unfortunately the song North to Victoria is not in there. There is actually a wealth of BC songs but the trick often is to try and find the tune as many were and are obscure.Phil actually had to write a few tunes himself or adapt them.

Phil stopped by the ranch here a couple of weeks ago and we traded a few stories in the short time he had. He's reviewing our latest CD. (Hope he likes it. ) The grand of man of BC folksongs. Anyone who collects BC stuff is riding on his early work.

Cheers
