Oops ... I was talkin' bout stationmaster's posting " interesting reading " which linked to Rhino's liner's notes from Songbook.
Here's what Gord said about Seven Island Suite : "The entrance going down to Port MacNichol from the eastern extremity of Lake Huron into Georgian Bay. There are three smaller islands closer in and four magnificent islands farther out. It was a vacation spot when I used to go sailing. The boat was named Sundown, incidentally. A romantic ballad about the rigors of everyday life and getting back to nature."
I always pictured an actual spot were I spent many summer vactions on the North Channel of Lk Huron when I heard this song. Not too far off! Great song; I always loved the way he sang "fiery autumn haze"
Another idea for the Great Lakes Song play list is " Around The Bay And Back Again" by Stompin' Tom , but maybe too cheesy?? ... still looking for other ideas ...
