Hundredth Meridian comes to mind first. Maybe Three Pistols or Lake Fever for Algonquin Provincial Park.

This issue is now out. 100th Meridian made the cut for the Hip.
I'm surprised Bobcaygeon didn't. But I can appreciate the editors' problem. "No," shouts Rick Boychuck, "for the 100th time, this is 'The Music Issue' not 'the Hip Issue!' We need diversity!"

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

Stompin' Tom could probably hold down the entire map of Canada on his own.

yup :thumb: thats what I love about him, he's penned some pretty deadly stuff about Canada
hock: i've heard alot of his music, and the guys written alot of music, and I think in every song he's written it contains a person place or event dealing with Canadiana in 1 way or another. I love his version of I've been everywhere from a gig at the HorseShoe Tavern, he reels off all these towns from Canada :thumb:
