As an American Hip fan, they are Canada's best kept secret and far better than what is played routinely on our rock stations. I first head them in '92 on an alt radio station in St Louis where I lived at the time. I was intrigued by 100th Meridian. Then they dropped off my radar screen until '95 when I saw them on Saturday Night Live. Been a big fan ever since -- saw them live twice!
"The Black Canoe" is an 11000 lb sculpture by Bill Reid. It sits at the Canadian embassy in Washington D.C.. The official name of the sculpture is "the Spirit of Haida Gwaii".
I uh. I think Gordies talking about the loon here.

They played this in Saskatoon and it was really powerful.
When the "whooaaa" part came on everyone in the crowd was doing it and Gord came down right into the crowd it was just amazing!
