    there’s an free iPad app for the National Film Board (NFB) where you can watch John Weldon’s wonderful animation to this song. btw the song was written by Wade Hemsworth (who also wrote “Foolish You” from their first album and who was a mentor to many folk musicians in Montreal.

      Hi David,
      I actually have seen that and loved it; in fact, I’ve seen it more than a few times. I just love the log driver. He is dressed exactly how I imagine he would be. Great!

      Thanks-you’ll send a few Coffee people that way as I had forgotten.
