The title track and first single from Folklore.
Tom Thomson was a Canadian landscape painter often thought of in relation to The Group of Seven. His works hang in the National Gallery of Canada, The McMillan Gallery in Kleinburg, ON and the Tom Thomson Art Gallery in Owen Sound, ON. It is in this place that Tom Thomson's 12 string mandolin resides.I will be performing there next March. Please check the calendar for dates of that tour.
I was recently sent this archival recording from a fan...It's from 1992 or so, from the Winter Roots Festival in Vancouver, presented by Steve Edge. That's Stephen Fearing introducing me and playing guitar, too. I've never recorded this song and except for CBC, with my band.
