Michael has put together a collection of Canadiana songs that tell stories of the people, places and moments in history that help to define us as Canadians.
Songs include:
Something to Sing About- A little Canadian flag-waving
Little Trees - written by Michael for the TV program Sesame Street
I'se the B'y - a Newfoundland favourite
The Island - now the official song of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia
Farewell Nova Scotia - From the First World War, the song of a man who lost his three brothers at sea
V'la l'Bon Vent - a 200-year-old French-Canadian Voyageur paddling song
Canada in My Pocket- Michael wrote this song to describe the significance of the symbols on our Canadian coins
This Land is Your Land- a true Canadian geography lesson
The Log Driver's Waltz- an Ottawa Valley song about the logging industry
Lady Franklin's Lament - the quest by Sir John Franklin's wife to discover the fate of his ill-fated Northwest Passage expedition
Alberta Bound- A Toronto boy loses his heart to an Alberta girl
The Bluenose - the story of the country's most famous schooner
Fly High - Michael wrote this tribute to the nation's aviators as a theme song for Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame
Canada Is... almost an anthem for this country, and for Michael.
