That was from the 1991 album Dance & Celebrate from Bourne & MacLeod. Bill sang and played strings while Alan MacLeod played flute and bagpipes. Ole Buffalo still sends shivers... In 1992, they released Moonlight Dancer.

Where do you think we are going?

Where do you think this will lead?

@zedzknight I don't know what part of Canada you live in. I grew up in Nova Scotia, travelled to every province and have lived in four. I have heard "eh" used in all of them. Linguists have documented it as well as our unique pronouncation of out, about, house, mouse etc.

@Kaalec That should read "dipthong". Can't seem to type today.

@travpoet Phonetically, it's not a-boot. It's actually closer to a-boat. The "ou" is a dipyhomng and we start it with a more rounded "a" sound - closer to the "a" in "father" than Americans who start it with an "a" sound closer to the "a" in "bat". It's subtle to get it right, but it definitely does exist.

Great song. Does anyone know the guitar chords and picking the schema?

Peace in the air, love everywhere. To us, such a place belongs.

There was another arrangement, in early 1990s including a Flute!

Can anybody find it? Who was that? Blew my mind back in those days.
