I agree with you, the images he creates makes you want to go to Canada, or at least you can have a vision of it in your mind. I will never forget the story of him on one of his canoe trips out in the backwoods, and him paddling his canoe into someones camp site and visiting them for awhile. I would be totaly stunned if I was one of the campers. Here you are out in the wilderness and in pops one of the most famous singer/songwriters of Canada's history. What a neat image I get from this story. Plus his song stories of the workers, travelers, history, and lovers, make for fine images of the people. He deserves the award for sure.
