Farewell to Nova Scotia?
Hi. Don't know if you can help me or not, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. I am trying to find a certain, SPECIFIC recording of the song "Farewell to Nova Scotia", and thought that perhaps someone there could point me towards who might have done it. I received a copy of it on cassette when I was young, given to me by my music teacher at the time. It's a very nice recording, by a MALE singer, and prefaced by a narrator speaking about the song, and the feelings expressed in it. He talks of the feeling between a man and his country "whether it be the peaks of the rocky mountains, or the coast of Nova Scotia", and how "often a singer will express these feelings in a song" (these quotes may not be exact but they are very close). I would have received the cassette around 1982-84. I can't say for sure, but the narration didn't sound like a radio program, more like it may have been from an album extolling the virtues of canadiana. I don't recall any pronounced accent. For a long time I had thought it might be Burton Cummings (which it is not), but that gives an idea of the type of voice. Maybe.
