LOL...usually it's Patti telling Jesse Joe that he is nuts...

Well, actually you're both nuts but in a good way.

Hi Anne,

As in Anne Murray, this will work for me...

Here is in Gord's own words from Songbook, what "Seven Island Suite" was written for.

"Seven Island Suite"

"The entrance going down to Port MacNichol from the eastern extremity of Lake Huron into Georgian Bay. There are three smaller islands closer in and four magnificent islands farther out. It was a vacation spot when I used to go sailing. The boat was named Sundown, incidentally. A romantic ballad about the rigors of everyday life and getting back to nature." ~gl~

"Anne as in Anne Murray".

I sure wish I could sing like her!
Her voice is so lovely...clear and beautiful. I love "Snowbird".

Thanks for the story about "Seven Island Suite".
I wonder why he always liked living in a big city when he loved nature so much?
Too much of a good thing spoils it for him I guess...lol.

I lived in Detroit for nine months and I hated it. I felt like a fish out of water...rainbow trout maybe?

Let's see, I think I read somewhere around here that your name is Omer.
If I am wrong then you can let me know.

You are right, but it's not a name I like too much. Just about only John Fowles uses it here. Jesse Joe or Jesse or "hey you" is much better...

I have someone in St-Andrews NB, that calls me Omar, I even like that better than the real name...

Omer- That's a fine name. One of Canada's foremost canoeists was Omer Stringer who spent much of his life dedicated to canoeing and building canoes. He was affiliated with the somewhat famous 'Beaver Canoe Company'. One of my canoeing heroes!

Well, I just won't call you by your given name if you dislike it so much.

I know how you feel. My entire name is actually Glen Anne. I was the last of four baby daughters and my dad decided he had better name me after my grandfather so I got stuck with Glen....lol.

I hated it when I was in school. The first day of school the teacher would call off the names and mine would always just be Glen, not Glen Anne. All the kids would laugh because they thought it should be a boy. Glad those days are over....lol.
I don't mind it so much now but I still rarely use my full name. Anne is just easier.

I don't mind Anne. I really like my oldest sister's name...Judith Starr...Starr was an old family name way, way back. I am always telling her that I want to exchange names with her but she won't do it....lol

It's funny but Glen Anne sounds ok to me. Reminds me of the duets with Glen Campbell & Anne Murray. Today we do have ladies named Glenn. ie: Glenn Close.

[quote=Jesse Joe;138129] Just about only John Fowles uses it here. /quote]
Yes well
Basically whilst I know that Omer desired an anonymouse screenname
in the UK to call somebody a ""big Jesse" is coinsidered rather derogatory and insulting. I do not know why it is just common usage
googling only produced
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/getwriting/...t=1&s_type=pop

where in respect to "Becks" it is writ
"
HAS HE GOT THE BALLS TO CALL, OR IS HE A BIG JESSIE LIKE DAD SAID ALL FOOTBALLERS WERE..? A BIG JESSE, OR A BIG JESSIE…?"
it might therefore refer to some old soccer star because I also found:-
http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/...ince_tony.html
where another person in reply to one Dave Hill said in a sporting context
"
but I am less of a Big Jesse than I would be had I been pampered."
Also from:-
http://my.telegraph.co.uk/swift_silv...bing_news_.htm
"
Plum Tart I am not a big Jesse I am a weak and feeble Dave. Love you Plum."
"Plum Tart" also features in another exchange on
http://my.telegraph.co.uk/mark_cole/..._vista_myt.htm
"Stick with it and improve it you big Jesse..."
from examples such as those I submit that calling somebody a "jesse" might be considered rather rude even effeminate
hence my preference for referring to the irrepresible New Brunswick fellow (OK not a Nova Scotian at all) by his real name.
P.S. As sometimes happens a google image search was slightly more enlightening:-

Sir John, I had no idea that big jesse meant anything bad....lol.
Maybe jesse needs a nickname?

You know, if Patti and Jesse were in the UK they would call each other a "nutter" rather than just saying "you are nuts".

Awwww....Postman Pat is adorable! I like his kitty, too....lol.
