The Smiling Land is a celebration of Alan’s Newfoundland, in its legendary past and brilliant future.
The music, the bays, towns, villages, and 12-hour ferry rides to get you halfway to where you’re going.
Alan is the tour guide, something he’s actually done!
Besides the reader, along for the drives are his beloved wife and teenage son.
To go camping, they’re pulling a small trailer home behind.
FYI – Alan hates camping and driving.
I swear, many of us will find a way to take the same drive – just once in our lives.
The history, the legends, the forming of the first real settlements in North America. Characters who thought nothing of leaving their homes, sailing the North Atlantic and starting again in a wild new world.
Many towns, bays, lakes, mountains and forests were named after those “characters”. And many a song and story has been handed down.
The complete Alan Doyle Experience can be heard on The Stew this Saturday. Driven by four Doyle Songs, including his latest.
The complete interview and all the stories can then be heard on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and seen on the tdm YouTube channel.
