For this week's jukebox music theme, Many Colours, here's a great folk song, "Bluenose", a tribute to the Grand Banks schooner by that name. Written and sung by Canadian folk musician Stan Rogers. "...That proud, fast Queen of the Grand Banks Fleet, Portrayed on every dime, Knew hard work in her time, hard work in every line, The rich men’s toys of the Gloucester boys, With their token bit of cod, They snapped their spars and strained to pass her by, But she left them all behind. Now her namesake remains to show what she has been, What every schoolboy remembers and will not come again, To think she’s the last of the Grand Banks Schooners, That fed so many men, And who will know the Bluenose in the sun?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo1IvV6qAWY #JukeboxFridayNight #ManyColours
