WADE HEMSWORTH
In 1995, at the age of 79, Hemsworth finally recorded his second album, The Songs of Wade Hemsworth, which included all 16 songs from the 1990 songbook. Hemsworth died at Ste. Anne’s Hospital for Veterans in Montreal in 2002, following a lengthy illness. On learning of Wade’s death, Governor General Adrienne Clarkson paid tribute to Hemsworth, saying that his songs were “so much a part of our folklore and so familiar to us that we didn’t realize anyone had written them.”

This is a classic Canadian folk song. In Ontario construction workers battle black flies without relief! Earle’s arrangement is rollicking great fun!

A show-stopper of a piece! Imagine waltzing around a log boom on the rushing river! This work is a piece of Canadiana, – funny and exciting.
