| Ya
Wanna Marry Me? |
"Ya
Wanna Marry Me?" is one of my greatest hits. At least
whenever it is played on CBC, I get calls and messages for
weeks after asking for copies. Nice. I wrote the song for
my own wedding, but if the shoe fits...

| Sulphur
Passage |
"Sulphur
Passage (No pasaran)" celebrates the 1988 blockade at Sulphur
Pass in Clayoquot Sound. By the mid-90s, the song had become
an anthem for the Clayoquot protests. Nettie Wild, one of
Canada's best documentary filmmakers, made a powerful music
video of the piece, which won a half-dozen international awards.
The video was used to great effect in the "market" campaign
that triggered the end of clear-cutting in Clayoquot. Joining
me singing this version (from Gabriola V0R1X0) are Ann Mortifee,
Rick Scott, Roy Forbes, Stephen Fearing, Veda Hille, Raffi,
Valdy and Jennifer West.
The video is also available. For more about the 20-year Clayoquot
campaign, see How I saved the world with
a song and The Clayoquot Women.

| La Chanson Francée |
"La Chanson Francée" is, of course, set to Edith Piaf's "La vie
en rose". Divishti Rankin of Australia had the idea for the
new lyric. I learned her version from Judy Small and then
continued to twist it into its present shape.
