So, here we are — sitting around. Our house guest, Melinda, wants to record some songs on Nebraska. My wife will play piano and she can sing them to relatives when she visits in the next few days.
A few song books come out. While I am out at a meeting, Jill records the songs. Melinda makes sure her tape recorder is ready to go. She’ll have a good time with her relatives.
Which got me thinking — how many Saskatchewan songs are there? I guess during the Centennial there was the "Saskatchewan song" — never seemed to catch on. Saskatoon has more tributes in song. Of course, you have Joni Mitchell and Wide Mouth Mason from Saskatoon. And Connie Caldor loves to sing of Saskatchewan.
But an official Saskatchewan song? I guess my vote would go for the Saskatchewan Roughriders football team song "On, Roughriders". Not quite a civilized Saskatchewan son, but memorable!!
Any other Saskatchewan songs you can think of??
The Arrogant Worms sing a song about being a pirate in Saskatchewan…I think that there’s a line about flying the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shore… or something
