I've just added a link under my "Favorite Sites" for
The Arrogant Worms. For anyone who is not familiar with this group they are a fantastic trio who play a great selection of what you might call folk music with a twist. They have such classics as "
We Are The Beaver," "
Me Like Hockey," "
Canada is Really Big," and my personal favorite "
The Mounted Animal Nature Trail."
The Mounted Animal Nature Trail is of course about our own Manitoulin Island
Gordon's Park located on Highway 6 in Tehkummah. The group stayed there a few years back and enjoyed themselves so much they wrote a song about it. If you haven't heard it you've got to do some research and pick up either their
C'est Cheese or
Live Bait CD's or their DVD,
Three Worms and An Orchestra I've never been able to find any of their work in stores it's all available from
their web site.
What do you say gang, they've helped make Manitoulin famous. Shouldn't we invite them back for another visit?
Another of my favorite places to visit on Manitoulin is Gordon’s Park. I had the opportunity a few days ago to get a guided tour from Rita and Terry and we had a great time heading up through a couple of the trails, getting all the way up to the old cabin and the Dark Sky Sanctuary. The fall colors are out in full force and I snapped lots of photos of our outing, some of which you see here. Gordon’s has LOTS more than just hiking trails and astronomy so make sure you stop in whenever you visit Manitoulin Island. Tell them “Our Manitoulin” sent you and we’ll see you on the trails!
