PAST TENSE – ORILLIA HISTORY

f YOU COULD READ MY MIND…
GORDON LIGHTFOOT
Hometowns have always been an enigma with many a celebrity. Some such as Madonna have gone out of their way to disassociate themselves from their burgs. Others, such as Billy Joel or Bruce Springsteen have gone out of their way to write songs about their early hang outs.

Orillia in the 1940’s and 50’s was the last place you would think to find a singer/musician who would come to be a Canadian folk hero.

I don't know what it is with these silly writers who say things like this?


Expect every famous person to come from big cities?
