Another Song About Alice

(Le français suit.)
Thomas D'Arcy McGee was an Irish-Canadian, a journalist, prolific poet, historian, outstanding orator, catholic, and a famous politician.
He was a member of the of the Canadian Parliament and one of the fathers of the 1867 Confederation. He was fiercely opposed to paramilitary secret societies.
His family home was in Montreal.
He was instrumental in persuading the Maritime provinces to join Canada, saving them from southern annexation following the American Civil war.
On April 7, 1868 he was assassinated in Ottawa by a member of the Fenian Brotherhood, which accused him of treason by having turned away from his earlier revolutionary ideals and having embraced the British monarchy in the Canadian Dominion.

Thomas D'Arcy McGee était d'origine irlandaise, un journaliste, un poète prolifique, un historien, un orateur remarquable, catholique, et un homme politique célèbre. Membre du Parlement canadien et l'un des pères de la Confédération de 1867, il était farouchement opposé aux sociétés secrètes paramilitaires. Sa demeure familiale était à Montréal
Il a contribué de façon significative à persuader les provinces maritimes de se joindre au Canada, les sauvant ainsi de l'annexion par le Sud à la suite de la guerre de Sécession des États-Unis.
Le 7 avril 1868, il est assassiné à Ottawa par un membre de la confrérie des Fenians, qui l'accuse de trahison pour s'être détourné de ses idéaux révolutionnaires antérieurs et avoir embrassé la monarchie britannique dans le Dominion canadien.

Highstreet- Midnight Sun (La Poupee)

I used to be a working singer/songwriter/performer in the 70's and early 80's with a band called Highstreet Underground which later became just Highstreet. We played throughout Canada between 1968 and 1981 and recorded two albums of tunes. The first, "She Won't Be Waiting" was released in 1979 and the second "Industrial Strength" had a limited release of just 300 copies in 1981. I later fronted bands under the names of The Leftovers, the Hall Bros Band and the Mick Hall Band until I moved to the West Coast in 1993
