When I listen to this song, or any song of the Rankins for that matter, it makes me think of the many kitchen parties we used to have at mine and my aunt's place. It really makes me miss Cape Breton and I will hopefully return home one day, for good. But for now, at least I got good music like this to keep me going!
I met Jimmy Rankin several times when I worked at Musicstop in Halifax about 17+ years ago, Bruce Jacobs, the bass player for the band worked there with me. Both great guys. I never really spent any time with the rest of the band members.
We saw them Friday nite in Edmonton.They sounded fantastic.Better than their CD's.Did a 15 minute Mull River Shuffle for their encore.Then sat after talking and signing autographs.I swear 1/2 of Cape Breton must live in Edmonton.They knew most of the audience!!
Nothing like the Rankins to get the blood flowing....and I'm from the dreaded Ontario! HA!...love the band...love the sound....we all mourned....hope to hear from the family again!...all the best from ontario!.....Rankins...RULE!....jan
Excellent group, seen them in concert February 10th 2007 in Halifax, they were awesome, wish i could see them again. That was a good way to end that video too :D
Do you live here because if you did, you would know that the only time that anything goes on in PEI is from the two month period Festival of Lights (Canada day Celebrations) to old home week. That's it.
lol no, im from halifax, and actually, right now, im living in texas, yes, texas and n united states, texas lol, dont ask how i ended up here, but no ive never lived in PEI, but ive visited, lol and u believe it was during the Canada Day weekend lol.
no im not guessing you were here on Canada day weekend but i am guessing that you were here in the two month period that i told you about, when all the other tourists show up and spend money here.
GO JIMMY!!!

you can if the sand is 50 feet above sea level and and the soil on pei is pure sandstone so technically PEI is a sandbar
