Reggie: That's a Newfoundland song, alas not a Maritime song, mind you Celtic nonetheless, and the Cape Breton (where I'm from) and Newfoundland (where MJK is from if I'm not mistaken) are almost identical with a few subtleties. But Liza's husband would be the correct answer.

Mind you... the correct spelling is b'y, not bye. It's actually a contraction, short for "buddy". So to say "Hey b'y, how's she goin'?" Is actually saying "Hey buddy, how's she goin'?"

edit: Anne Murray, ummm yeah... she's the pride of Springhill NS, but frankly the rest of us wish she'd just disappear and stop embarasing us. You shoulda heard my dad bitch about having to drive through Springhill on the bus, all becuase of how much he loathes that woman.

As for being a "gym teacher" *wink*wink*nudge*nudge* I haven't heard anything to confirm, however I have heard rumours of Rita McNeil "swinging the other way"
