Dave and Chris!!!!!

Makes me proud to be a Canadian.......

Merci...trully......

Yes I do fit in.....

But where would I be without without your vision.......

Merci encore....vraiment.....

[Dave Hadfield]

My vision is a little foggy at the moment, Michel. It was a great Canada Day!

The song was fun to write, fun to record, and making the video was a blast. We had a crew of very energetic young film people show up and work very hard to get it recorded, then produced, in just a few days. Chris and I just clowned around and showed up when they told us to.

The chords and lyrics are on my website, if interested.

I had a chance to fly with him on June 30, at the Hadfield Summit at VWoC. I picked Chris up at Rockcliffe, and delivered him to the press via P-40. Good fun!



First time we've had a chance to share a cockpit in a while. A very nice tasking!

Tks for sharing Dave.........

From a P-40 to a Soyuz!!!!!! Not that they are that far apart mind you....hehe......

Cheers

That was awesome!
But…I've gotta ask…why on earth do you put your milk in bags?!

[Dave Hadfield]

Milk in bags? It was brought out in the 80s. I suppose it's to reduce packaging and make it cheaper. It's still in Ontario and parts of Canada east of there. Westerners have never heard of it.

Of all the lines in that song, I think the bagged-milk thing gets the most attention!
