  • Well done, is Jack Shiffman singing the song as well? Many scenes very familiar to a old Flin Flon lad.

  • @JackGAdams Howard Shiffman (Jack's son) is the singer. We put this together as a gift for Jack's birthday. Thanks for the kind words.

  • @bcbudful There you go ... I left there in 78 ..have a brother who still lives up there... if you check my channel you will find the song that I posted written by Irvin Freeze a great old friend of mine... will likely be near the bottom of my uploads as it was one of my first songs I uploaded to Youtube..
