Hi Anne,

As in Anne Murray, this will work for me...

Here is in Gord's own words from Songbook, what "Seven Island Suite" was written for.

"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." ~gl~
