It's from down home Lower Sackville is a suburb of Halifax. Moosehead beer is brewed in Saint John New Brunswick (and Dartmouth NS before they shut that plant down). Thanks for another great song. I love this site. - Bob |

In one of them I saw a boat named "Slainte". I always assumed it was a salutation of good will, but could you tell me exactly what it means and the derivation? Thanks Allan |
