Nightingale - Classic Rock - Really??? You've got my attention! Gordon Lightfoot will always be special to me but I grew up on Rock. Deep Purple, Mountain, Cream, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Iron Butterfly, The Who, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Guess Who, Black Sabbath, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Blue Cheer, Uriah Heep, Neil Young, Rush, Emerson. Lake & Palmer, Styx, Boston & The Moody Blues - Just to name a few!
Canoeing is a love that both Gord and I shared in younger days. Gord's music was always the soundtrack to my wilderness adventures. If your friends find laughs in dumping you in the river it sounds to me as if your problem lies not with canoeing but with the campers you bring along.
""Love many, trust a few, and always paddle your own canoe".........Old Proverb
