A Patriot So True

Soon to be three years ago Stompin' Tom Connors died. I went his web page at the time for some reflection on his life. He had penned a message to Canada. It was one of those moments you just take deep breath and sigh. This is the song I wrote.

Making this demo took so much out of me; there was an urgency, even though looking back there was no rush. Today, more than ever Canada needs a patriotic message. Hear the call Tom left, like a loon on a lake.

Update: Discovered this lovely tribute to Tom by David Newland. Read it!

Andy Slide, vocal and harmonica. Nic Yown, guitar and vocal.
