I figure Biscuit City might be about Toronto or Orillia..so I'm not feeling so bad about dissing Couchiching..
altho I did love it when he sang it at the Opera House and Mariposa..made me a wee bit teary when he got to 'that lyric'..

Ma'am,

No songs get dissed (except for Canary Yellow Canoe). Each voter, as in any exercise in democracy, is given choices. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Majority rules.

If this wikipedia info is correct, there is an Orilla connection with Couchiching :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Couchiching

Biscuit City ? I have no idea. Wikipedia chokes on that inquiry.

After some thought, I knew you knew that. But I was too late deleting my post.

'Biscuit City' remains a nebulous entity to me.

I think I'll start prefacing my posts with an apology.......I've been screwin' up a lot lately.

This one was easy because I like Biscuit City. I can take or leave Couchiching - it's too repetitive.

you need to add another voting option on these: e.g. "I like both of them" the on the fence option is OK but there's a huge voting bloc out here that's being disenfranchised, LOL.

Biscuit City looks like it's been pounded by Katrina. Couchiching takes its floodwaters forward.
