    Just a little bit west of Kapuskasing,|Reesor Crossing, that's the name.|Farmers hauled, from out of the bushland,|pulpwood for the mill- bound train.||Twenty farmers met that night,|to guard their pulp from a union strike,|unaware this night would see a reesor crossing tragedy, |the Reesor Crossing Tragedy.||'You'll never load that pile of lumber',|said the Union men, when they came.|Though they numbered about five hundred, |the twenty farmers took rifle aim.||'We've got to get our pulpwood out, |before the muskeg frost comes out'.|'And may God help us all to see, |no Reesor Crossing Tragedy'.||'You'll never touch this pile of lumber',|but they came, and tragically,|three men died, that february,

    |in the year of '63||Eight more wounded, some beat up|tires slashed on the lumber trucks.|A night of death, and destiny - |the Reesor Crossing Tragedy.||'You'll never touch this pile of lumber',|seven words that spelled out pain.|For the widows and their children, |and their men who died in vain.||How can anyone forget, |the bloodiest labour battle yet, |in all Canadian history?|The Reesor Crossing tragedy. ||Just a little bit west of Kapuskasing,|they erected a sculpture beside the tracks,|of the bushman and his family,|who live their lives behind the axe.||It reminds us in the North,|not to bring out tempers forth,|that there may never elsewhere be|no Reesor Crossing Tragedy.|

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      “I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.”

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      “I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      “I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      “Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      “This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      “It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
