I like to get these things right. Was John Morris Rankin from Cape Breton, then (ie: Canadian)? Ta...

 

Great tune...

Hi, yes, that's the fella - The Rankins

 

I suspect though that folks from Nova Scotia would be a bit like folks from Shetland .. i.e. technically Scottish yes, but would always think of themselves as Shetlanders first. 🙂

 

Cheers,

Dick

Ta!

 

Nova Scotians, Shetlanders, Orcadians, Bretons - I wonder how long a list of folks one could compile who are technically from A but will always say they are from B...🙂
