A tribute to Award winning music producer Billy Bruhmuller

This song and video was inspired by Joshua Slocum's solo sailing voyage. On April 24 1885, Joshua Slocum left Boston Massachusetts in his 37 foot sloop and sailed her around the world...a 46,000 mile passage.

The song Last Stand is a tribute to Algonquin artist Tom Thomson. Thomson painted in Algonquin Park from 1912 to 1917. Large stands of White Pine were in the process of being clear cut by lumber companies such as R. Booth Lumber. Algonquin Park Superintendent George Bartlett instructed his Rangers to shoot wolves on sight because he did not want the tourist to be eaten by them. Winnie Traynor stayed at her parent's cottage on Canoe Lake and spent quite a bit of time with Tom Thomson. It was reported that she had at least twenty of Thomson's paintings which she kept wrapped in newspaper under her bed!

Lake Superior music

Northern Highway Got the moon in my mirror And the Northern lights in front of me On this Northern highway in the artic watershed On this Northern highway in the artic watershed I live on the other side of the line Where the waters runs down the Superior shoreline Where the waters runs down the Superior shoreline The moose they have no boundaries And the wolves run free And the bears walk on both sides of the line And the eagle flies all the way to New Mexico And the eagle flies all the way to New Mexico I live on the other side of the line Where the water runs down the Superior shoreline Where the water runs down the Superior shoreline The jack pines grow all in line Planted by the hand of man But the tamaracks they grow wild on both sides Yea the tamaracks they grow wild on both sides When I die my spirit it will fly To this northern highway in the artic watershed And follow that eagle all the way to New Mexico And follow that eagle all the way to New Mexico I live on the other side of the line Where the waters runs down the Superior shoreline Where the waters run down the Superior shoreline On the Atlantic side Guitar chords: D major, C major, G major, D major.

Inspired by R.H. Thomson tribute to Canadian soldiers who fought at Vimy Ridge France in 1917.

This video is dedicated to Shaman Artist Norval Morrisseau and to all people who inspire others by their art, music,and lifestyle. The images were collected on the world wide web and some are from personal collections ...thanks to Mudhook for the use of her channel tattoo logo. This song was written a couple of years ago on one of my trips to Moosonee Ontario.

The longest operating iron ore mine in North America closed down a few years ago...in the Northern Ontario town of Wawa Ontario. When I worked underground in 1965 the company had close to a thousand employees. When this mine closed some of the remaining 250 employees were relocated to Algoma Steel in Sault St. Marie Ontario. Many kept their families in Wawa and travelled home on their days off.
