The song Last Stand is a tribute to Algonquin artist Tom Thomson. Thomson painted in Algonquin Park from 1912 to 1917. Large stands of White Pine were in the process of being clear cut by lumber companies such as R. Booth Lumber.
Algonquin Park Superintendent George Bartlett instructed his Rangers to shoot wolves on sight because he did not want the tourist to be eaten by them.
Winnie Traynor stayed at her parent's cottage on Canoe Lake and spent quite a bit of time with Tom Thomson. It was reported that she had at least twenty of Thomson's paintings which she kept wrapped in newspaper under her bed!

Small Town (N.Ontario)
Words and music-Don Charbonneau
There’s a place I go every summer
Small town North Ontario
On the north shore of gitche gomee
Where I’ve heard say
The stars were born
Big city don’t mean a thing to me
I work here all winter long
I dream of June when I’ll be gone
To my small town North Ontario
To my small town North Ontario
Lake Superior I can see you now
I can hear your waves crashing on my soul
I’ll stop down at Katherine Cove
To hear your wind sing my song
Sault Ste. Marie your behind me now
A few more hours I’ll be gone
To my small town North Ontario
To my small town North Ontario

The Devil’s Chair
(words and music by Don Charbonneau)
He coming home in the early spring
With a load of fur in his old canoe
Guargantua he was heading for
Off shore wind was blowing fair.
He was two miles from the Devil’s Chair
He was two miles from the Devil’s Chair
He was two miles from the Devil’s Chair
Wind suddenly turned around
Gitchee Gumme now was blowing strong
He became afraid for his life
Forgive me Lord if I have sinned.
But my wife and children I do love
My wife and children I do love.
He was two miles from the Devil’s Chair
Oh Manitou what have done
Have I not sang your praises enough?
This last tobacco I do offer
For two more miles of safe water
He was two miles from the Devil’s Chair
He was two miles from the Devil’s Chair
He was two miles from the Devil’s Chair
He was coming home in the early spring
With a load of fur in his old canoe
Guargantua he was heading for
Off shore wind blowing fair

Three Sisters (Water Coming in)
I fished in wind and
I fished in rain
I fished on waves and
I fished in fog
Cause I got bills to pay.
I got water coming in
I got water coming in
Old bilge pump
She’s broken down
I got water coming in
I got water coming in
Brad Buck come and tow me in.
Won’t be no fishing here today
I’m adrift here on Michipicoten Bay
And I hope those three sisters don’t come my way
I hope those three sisters stay home today.
I got a six foot wave pushing me
I see those rocks half a mile away
Brad Buck come and tow me in.
I got three nervous guys here on board
A big fog bank moving in
This compass has gone all to hell
I got water coming in
I got water coming in
Old bilge pump she’s broken down
I got water coming in
I got water coming in
Brad Buck come and tow me in.
Won’t be no fishing here today
I’m adrift here on Michipicoten Bay
And I hope those three sisters don’t come my way
I hope those three sisters stay home today.
