Nipigon Bridge is Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down

What a pose I have on the left!  Perfect teeth. And
casual crossed legs, studious bow tie... slit pockets and cuffed pants. 
That's class.
On the map, the power station and Cameron falls is a bit north
of the label Nipigon River. The Trans Canada highway passes just south
of the label Nipigon. 

My first six years of human (as opposed to alien or animal) life were spent in Northern Ontario within a few short miles of the old Nipigon Bridge that apparently was replaced by a new one that recently failed and actually cut Canada in half. Uh-Oh Canada! My Dad worked for Ontario Hydro at the hydro electric power generating station just upstream 
from the bridge as seen on the map on the right. Lake Nipigon drains into Lake Superior. My mom raised five children, from scratch, from the Hydro "colony" of Cameron Falls used to house the power station employees.

So when I heard from my Mom that the Nipigon Bridge had failed, of course a favorite childhood tune for me at the time, came to mind.... London Bridge is Falling Down.  My mom must have taught it to me. The following playlist does not yet include MY parody version with lyrics indicting Premeir Wynne but it will in coming days. In the meantime, enjoy the following playlist of videos I assembled to mark this event. YOU CAN SKIP FORWARD USING ARROWS at bottom left.

PIANO LESSONS-- I have music and playlists for 50 traditional Western Civ originated childrens tunes that either Dorothy or me can use. What a great way to learn how to play piano! The trick for children is to have heard these tunes in school which is increasingly unlikely. Guitar Center doesn't use them but I can use half the lesson to deliver songs of students' choice-- which should include some of the childrens tunes, in my opinion. Adults who start piano would do well to play these tunes as beginners too
