Thread Name: Origins: Song of the Sockeye
Subject: RE: Origins: Song of the Sockeye
I provided Mudcat with the lyrics to this song in 1997. The words there are correct. The replacement of "abortions" by the word "disasters" in the sung version on "The Young Man from Canada" had to do with its inclusion in a schools broadcast Rika and I produced. The series was titled "Songs and Stories of Canada" and ran 16 half-hour episodes featuring some 90-odd songs. The word "abortions" seemed inappropriate for Grade 6-8 kids, so I replaced it. The series is available from us on a CD-ROM.
