Sorry about the repeat posts, but something seemed effed-up and the first four times I tried to post before the blank post, nothing took.

Thanks Jim for giving it a shot. I did find that bio as well.       Interesting. But that is also as far as I got.

There is very little information on the Internet about this singer-songwriter, but I did find out that he was known as Henri LaRivière, Hank LaRivière, and Hank Rivers. Here is a brief biography.

Titled "Hanks Centennial Travels"

This song I first heard during the Expo 67 song contest here in Canada. The song that won was: "Canada, We Love You" and so on. However, the song that I was pulling for was the above and some of the verses went like this.

I roamed this wide country boy both near and far,
Where ever i travel I take my guitar.
From the coast of Vancouver I looked all around,
Watched them play football in Edmonton town.


Another verse was;

In old Montreal I arrived one bright morn,
Not very far boy from where I was born.
I watched them play hockey not so long ago,
I shook the hand of Big Jean Béliveau.


There are many more verses and they cover all the province of Canada.
