SERIOUS TO START
A tragedy hit the town of Digby with the disappearance of the boat, RLJ. A candle light vigil was organized and 4 men lost their lives in the Bay of Fundy. A couple of singer song writers were touched by this and wrote songs, one of whom came into the AVR Morning Show studio to sing his song live. Here's one that was sent to me in text form...
THE OLD �R L J�
PULLED HERSELF THROUGH THE GUT
HEADING NORTH EAST TO THE NEW BRUNSWICK SHORE
LEAVING OLD SCOTIA
BEHIND IN HER WAKE
JUST BEHIND OF THE OLD FUNDY BOARE
FIVE MILES OR SO OFF ST. MARTINS, NB
FOUR FISHERMEN LIVES WERE CLAIMED BY THE SEA
LEAVING LOVED ONES AND FAMILY TO GRIEVE MANY DAYS
FOR THE CREW OF THE OLD �R L J�
LEALAND WHITE WAS THE CAPTAIN THERE ON
DRAGGING WHITE GOLD UP OFF THE SAND
ANTHONY ORDE, BRYDEN ORDE, COREY LEBLANC
HIRED ON AS SEA FAIRIN HANDS
SO MANY YOUNG MEN
DID WE LOSE ON THAT DAY
DID SHE SETTLE REAL PEACEFUL
UNDER SALTWATER SPRAY
WE WILL THINK OF THEM OFTEN
KEEP THEM CLOSE IN OUR DAY
THOSE MEN OF THE OLD �R L J�
MAYBE SHE FLOUNDERED WITHOUT TRACE
BENEATH THE CALM FUNDY WAVES
WITH THE ANGELS DECIDING THEIR FATE
MAYBE THE MEN REST THEIR SOULS
WERE CALLED HOME TO THEIR GOD
MAY THEY REST IN HIS HOME FOR THEIR FAITH
WE MAY NEVER YET KNOW
WHAT TOOK PLACE ON THAT DAY
DID OLD FATHER NEPTUNE
SAY COME FISH WITH ME
WHERE � YOU CAN FISH FOR ETERNITY
OUT HERE ON THE BAY
YOU MEN OF THE OLD �R L J�
TO THE MEN OF THE OLD �R L J�
THE OLD �R L J�
PULLED HERSELF THROUGH THE GUT

A very touching subject, and a community is in mourning.
AVR CRUISER WINNER ON THE AVR MORNING SHOW
Mike Hutt of Aylesford won the AVR Community Cruiser, and I had him on the show Monday at 8:15, and he was in to AVR to sign the papers up for the van. It's good to see someone will use it for a family van!
ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS
If you are Canadian, then you will love this!
Tomorrow my buddy Dwight McLeod will be in to tell you about a soccer tournament going on this weekend, and get on the AVR FaceBook page to get inside info on contests!
