Noel,
Thank you for those kind comments- I`ve been a history buff since school days and always find inspiration there.

I`m glad you enjoyed this song, Sergio... you paint the landscape with guitar notes,I have to use words!

You have a real "way with words", Robert...

Cool how you put such historical stories to song... Did you once drive a zamboni? I can safely say that is the first time I've heard that in a song smile

Floyd,
I was pushing a lawn mower not driving a zamboni at the time, but that image fit better with the going round in circles feeling - and its also very Canadian!
Thanks for listening to all my words.

Robert
