Newfoundland is rich in heritage and the song (Storm of 45) will tell you why, it is a true story about a man that saved a woman's life in a raging storm and although she lost some fingers and toes she went on to serve in the Salvation Army for the rest of her life.

The song (The Trip) is almost 11 minutes long and is a comical story about the ferry trip from North Sydney to Port Aux Basque.

If you have ever travelled there (scatter few thousand) you will be able to relate to it.

The Viking Trail tells it all and describes what it is like when you visit there (GREAT SONG).
