ABOUT THE SONG:
No one has written more songs about the Ottawa Valley, its history and people, than our own Mac Beattie. In addition to his contribution of countless compositions to our repertoire, Mac Beattie and his Melodiers performed in local dance halls and on radio for over five decades. This song is about Sunnydale Acres, a dance hall erected by Frank Martin of Lake Dore where Mac and his Melodiers played countless dances. My parents who will be married 50 years this year courted and danced to their music in that very hall. Mac and Sunnydale Acres are gone now, but this song means the world to many valley people, and it was amazing to have Dad in the studio to sing it for this record.
