One Song at Glorious Downhill.
Wayne Blair 1951 (London)
Down the Guelph Line
With summer a-greening
Horse farms and golf links
And fine homes abound.
Parts to a sub-trade
The pick-up runs smoothly
Radio Gospel
Its rich hopeful sound.
Soon comes the grand stretch
Descent to the lakeshore
Radiant blue and
A chrome chain of wheels.
Steve Chapman sings
God is God, not this little man
All is preparing
For how Heaven feels.
