Log Driver’s Waltz
[/coolplayer]

I was over at TWIT reviewing the Canada Day edition of net@nite with Amber Mac. Something in the show notes triggered the song in the video above. Actually, Amber linked to the video in the show notes.

I didn’t read the show notes properly at first and instead, went in search of the video. I had a devil of a time finding it because when it aired on TV, I was a young gal. I didn’t really understand the lyrics, so I made up the words.

So I typed in “log song TVOntario” into Google since I knew it was a song about a man on a log and it was shown on TVOntario. And low and behold, I found the video on YouTube. Of course, I went back to the show notes and Amber had already linked to it. Silly me.

Anyone remember this?

Hi Leesa,

Boy, do I ever remember this gem of Canadiana 🙂

I also completely relate to the not remembering all of the words and making them up to suit my own personal rendition. It was one of those National Film Board of Canada videos, wasn’t it?

This little snippet of trivia should end up on one of those patriotic email forwards called “You Know You are a Canadian When…”

The Log Driver totally deserves a place on YouTube – thanks for pointing this out and for providing some instant nostalgia before the weekend.

Take care,

Stephanie
