During the summer of 2012 my quest to have a new burial plaque for my hometown's namesake William McGillivray was realized. His first was destroyed by bombs during WW2. This video is from his burial site St. James's Piccadilly, London England and made by my UK friend Martin Ellerbeck of Thursday Films. Martin also put together my Black Spruce video and lives about an hour away from the church. Originally recorded on my 2009 North Land CD this is the symphonic version of the song from my CD Songs of Fort William with the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. Music Director Arthur Post conducting and the orchestra music is arranged by composer Lise Vaugeois. Produced by Keith Horner and recorded by Dave Burnham at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium.
