My music is the back catalogue of my life. I now live on an urban lake and swim with the loons.
Just in case you're curious... this is Williams Lake, Halifax NS. We don't actually have snow at the moment, but we did last week (LoL). Even without the snow the lake has frozen over. We're hoping it stays that way and snows so that we can go cross-country skiing sometime soon.

In the late '60s I rode the Ocean westward its full length. As luck would have it I recently shared the experience online. How long was the trip? You can do the math 🙂: youtu.be/XVrLP9fLafM?...

Once knew a young woman with naturally white hair... found it very attractive. Nice work.

... about the time I learned Sweet Baby James, Carolina on my Mind, and Something in the way she Moves... but I never did get the hang of the guitar accompaniment. 😕

Chorus:
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier

Warhammer's Privateers

Apologies to the late Stan Rogers, Canada

Oh, the year was 1778,
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now,
A letter of marque come from the king,
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen, .../1

...but i precedes e, so 'filk' is the draft that preceded the 'folk' song?

Following the September 11 terrorist attacks, the media conglomerate company Clear Channel Communications included the Youngbloods' version of the song on a list of "lyrically questionable" songs that was sent to its 1,200 radio stations in the United States.[28] -Wikipedia
