The famous song, "Snowbird" was not composed by Anne Murray but, if you will excuse the pun,  she gave it wings. It was actually written by another Canadian - Gene MacLennan - who tragically killed himself in 1995. Multi-award winning Anne Murray is now seventy nine years old, residing back in her home province of Nova Scotia. For some reason that song - "Snowbird" came into my mind this morning and refused to leave so I knew I had just had to include it in a blogpost. Gene MacLennan was inspired to write "Snowbird" while observing a flock of snow buntings on a Prince Edward Island beach. Essentially, he presented the song to Anne Murray in 1970 and gave her licence to use it as she would. It became her breakthrough single and was a surprise hit in the USA. Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you  Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could you know that I would fly away with you...
