It's that Carefree Highway song, or whatever he calls it. You don't know how many times that grating thing has woken me up in the middle of the night :sqeek: -- maybe that was the precursor to hip hop...


If that's an example of fine Canadian Music -- Sorry my buds, but yer gettin' nuked now :sqlaugh:

Tell the dude to stick to boats next time -- he's pretty good with that -- pavement, is just not his forte ;)

Carefree Highway

Pickin' up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
I wonder how the old folks are tonight
Her name was Ann and I'll be damned if I recall her face
She left me not knowin' what to do
Carefree Highway, let me slip away on you
Carefree Highway, you seen better days
The mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree Highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you
Turnin' back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
Now the thing that I call livin' is just bein' satisfied
With knowin' I got no one left to blame
Carefree Highway, got to see you my old friend
Carefree Highway, you seen better days
The mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree Highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you
Searchin' through the fragments of my dream-shattered sleep
I wonder if the years have closed her mind
I guess it must be wanderlust or tryin' to get free
From the good old faithful feelin' we once knew
Carefree Highway, let me slip away on you
Carefree Highway, you seen better days
The mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree Highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you
Let me slip away on you
Carefree Highway, got to see you my old friend
Carefree Highway, you seen better days
The mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree Highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you
 
Anyone heard of Barney Bentall?

Yup seen him in concert a couple of times back in the late 80s or early 90s very talented performer...

One of those shows he opened for another Canadian Ray Lyell
 
theres a guy who had a single name and was an oddball out around the same time as Bentall. I heard Bentalls son is now performing.
 
Reason I asked I use that song occasionally and never heard any other Canucks mention him or the song.
 
A couple of more I hadn't thought of until I seen Barneys site
