Yes Sarah's a Canadian. She's also an environmental activist, and established a group called PERL Protecting Escarpment Rural Lands. A beautiful part of Canada (Ontario) with some surviving natural escarpment land (flora, fauna, and wildlife) that need protecting.

This song reminds me of hot summer nights in the 1950s, we're at a resort at Clear Lake California, we would get in the rowboat late at night, sometimes the moon would be high in the starlight sky, we would drift in the reeds, nearby there would be grebes silently swimming, we'd take off our clothes and slip into the warm water for a surreal swim, every time I hear that song I can re-live those wonderful times again.

I heart this song! Completely served as one of the reasons I fell in love w/ the randomness that is Radio Paradise!

A great song. Thanks for playing something from the Great White North. Not sure if Blue Rodeo is anywhere on your playlist but they are another worthy addition.

Watching the dark turn to dawn, getting ready for the roadtrip to New Orleans to march with St.Ann's in the Marigny. Perfect. |
