Liner notes
Mr. Triple-Tracker: you’ve got the truck, and the talent; all you need now is a hat like mine!

Dr. Pitch: for keeping us all in tune, ‘focused rite’, and faithful to the tunes

I hope this album makes for good listening and good travelling... whether by land, sea, air, in memories, or in dreams. I love this country. And there’s always more of it to see, and another song to write. I hope we meet somewhere along the way... perhaps on a Canadian Journey!
