A standout classic when the airwaves were full of classics.
They'd play it a few times every Saturday morning at the Dalhousie University skating rink.

That lyric "I turn my collar to the cold and damp" sure does describe our springs up here.

Not just spring. We spent two days in Halifax last August and was
cool and raining the whole time.

S & G are and were a great pair of songwriters, singers, and storytellers.

Unbelievable bad luck. Last summer was unusually hot and dry. Half the province was threatened by forest fires and the other half by dry wells and extremely low rivers and lake levels. We desperately needed that rain at that time.

It sure was...and very windy also. Missed a number of boating days when the wind was over 40km per hour.
We really aren't used to week after week of temperatures in the upper '80s. On this side of the harbour, our water supply was fine but in the Dartmouth area their lake was getting down so they had to curtail use. Global warming?

Global warming would make you tropical and lots of rain.
