Topic: Do You See That Star ?

This was written for my Valentine.

Memories of a night in a place called North Ridge - north of Toronto. Living in the City, the light polution hides the stars. North Ridge was a revelation - in more ways than one.

This song has no chorus - sort of . . .

Hi Alan,

Nice to see, and play, another Valentine song. I enjoyed playing it and hope your Valentine was suitably impressed and appreciative of your efforts too. Thank you.

Really Nice writing Alan smile

Sounds like you have had some real fine times in North Ridge. I hope you played this for your Valentine.

I'm from London,just a hop skip and a stagger down the 401. I've been up to Barrie a few times and further up to Lake St. Joe. It's Gods country up there. Where abouts is North Ridge?

Re: Do You See That Star ?

Hi, everyone,

Thanks for the comments. North Ridge was, as far as I remember, north of Barrie (straight up the 401 ? Isn't that Yonge St too ?). We were there in '91. It was an adults only resort, meaning no kids, rather than anything else. It had everything, including a hot tub.

There was the obligatory lake ( Canada should export lakes to the rest of the world !). I wrote a poem about a heart beating in the lake - Canada's heart - there was a heart shaped stone that seemed to pulse in the  waves.

I played this to her - and she collapsed in a fit of giggles - and then . . .
