This is for a museum gig where the exhibits include WWI, a photographer active from 1921 to 1955, and the St. Lawrence River. So we decided to do a chronological gig with a couple of water songs tossed in.
I'm pleased to say that all of these songs are absolutely first-class except "The Thousand Islands Song" which is kinda B-grade but, ya know. . . Gananoque "Canadian Gateway to the Thousand Islands" and all that. There's another song, "I Sent My Wife to the Thousand Isles" from 1916. It's pretty stupid, too, but again. . . It WAS good enough for Al Jolson to record it.
