Canadian Geographic's Jan/Feb 2006 issue is music to your ears. The pages of the magazine and online delve into the geography of music, from Bhangra in British Columbia to rock on, well, The Rock. To complement this publication, we are compiling a list of 50 definitive songs about Canadian places. Whether they’re about city streets or mountainscapes; whether they’re country, opera, alternative or reggae — your suggestions will compose the ultimate geographical playlist.

I happened to read the comments on Kerry Regan and "My Home by the Fraser." I have transferred this song from record some time ago, filtered out a few >scratches and restored it to CD level and have it on my iTunes. |

Here is a list of a few Canadians songs that you might know about or have in your survey:
Beautiful Nicola Valley by Evan Kemp and His
Trailriders (I have restored this and put on CD) Blue Okanagan by Buddy Reynolds (this very good
song has disappeared off the map: I only have it on
a worn-out Aragon record).
Blue Canadian Rockies by Wilf Carter is a good oneDoes anyone remember a song called Along the Cariboo Trail which CKNW used to use in an ad for jeans back in the early 50s? |

Lyrics and sheet music for many songs by British Columbia composers are available by searching British Columbia sheet music. Music and lyrics are there for My Home by the Fraser. It is a beautiful song. I might be doing a solo of it at a concert this summer. I was surprised that I am the only member of the choir that remembers the song. GM |

How can I start this information. I was looking into my father's background, BoB Fredrickson, he is the singer/songwriter of the "Canadian Sweethearts" I have never met my father, he died 1990. I found out he was my father, in 1999, because I hired a private investigator to find my biological mom. She told me she had an affair with BoB, and she got pregant, and she had thought he went back to Canada to live and record(travel to other Continents etc...)Well, I had a CD of my Dad's, via my mom, and she has some of his 45 records.I would like to someday meet my Auntie Fern, and my Uncle Keray, and i think I have a half-brother? i could hire a private investigator, but I thought I could go more public, to see if anyone knows what to do about this true situation. I am a daughter, of a lost father, (died from cancer 1990)Bob Regan was his stage name, but BoB fredrickson is his real name. He never was told that my mom was pregant with his child, but it is documented at the Children's bureau in Los Angeles, that he is the father, and his wherabouts were unknown. My Mom was not making this up, she didn't even know where it left to, meanwhile many years later, she found out that he never left California. who Knows but that is her own recollection. I f anyone is interested in helping me find the Fredrickson family born and raised in Dawson creek, Canada. I would be so thankful, I'm was just his unknown daughter, but i want his family to know i exist, I am part of his flesh and blood.Again his stage name is BoB Regan, born 1931, Lucille Starr and my Dad, were the "CANADIAN SWEETHEARTS" in the 1960's(rockabilly). real name of my Dad BoB Fredrickson.Because my name is hawaiian, I was given this name in honor of a well-known Kapuna on Kauai.My mom was a fan(groupee) of my Dad, my dad also played solo at concerts, so I was told.Please help in my search, I have never dreamt, that I would be telling people, about my unknown family because I feel so hurt he never knew about me, or knew I existed, but i want my other flesh and blood family to know i exist, even though I may be rejected and not believed, that I am his daughter, but I have documentation, and my mother's word.aloha and thank you for any support from your community.God blesskaimi |
