Waltzing Blackflies
One thing that I always liked on tv when I was smaller was the Log Driver's Waltz. Much later came Blackfly, which is also a classic. Catchy, lots of interesting things to watch, just enjoyable.

ReplyDeleteJoe: unfortunately I don't have that info. I just email "Kim" that commented on that post but the account seems to be gone. I think that I had emailed at the time of the post as well, but it never got through.
ReplyDeleteRyan: sweet! I'll update the post to link to the real source. :-D
