My grandmother left at 17, and never went back even though she always longed to return. This summer I returned for 2022 come home. Emotional, beautiful trip. Long to go back to the island soon.
I have been living in ontario for 30 years I miss my island and god bless Ron and all the other Newfoundland bands for keeping the island close to my heart.
Not to be confused with another Ron Hynes song titled "Home On The Island" which was recorded in 1978 by the Wonderful Grand Band on their debut album, this video features a 1978 film of Ron Hynes performing an entirely different song called "BACK Home On The Island" as part of the cast of CBC Television's music and comedy series The Root Cellar. The series gave birth to the Wonderful Grand Band, which became one of Newfoundland's most popular acts. Thanks for sharing. :-)
Thanks..I never tire of listening to Ron's singing and ex[pression of feelings .
Most underrated Ron Hynes song IMO. Beautiful.
