Canada is a wonderful country, Henry. The only thing I don't like about it is...it's a bit too far north...too long a winter. We've always had more than our fair share of great musicians here, and I expect that will continue. There's something about the vastness of this land and the relatively small population in a huge expanse of land that brings out the poet in people, I think. So many of our finest musicians have come from the small towns and rural areas, but they all end up going to the big city in order to have a successful career.

I remember the Canada of my youth. Boy, how I loved it! It's changed radically since then, seems at times to have lost its sense of identity with the huge influx of immigrants from all over the world coming in, but all in all, it's still a great place.
