Phreap Circulate/ Georgia Strait
More history than quality here. My earliest public music project was my "You Won't like Most Of It Tape". This is one of the 10 songs on it.
Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started.
Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site;

With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.
Story behind the song
More history than quality here. My earliest public music project was my "You Won't like Most Of It Tape". This is one of the 10 songs on it.
On May 18, 1985 I did a recording of 'Let Phreap Circulate' with Less Russet and on September 8, 1985 I played the song with both sets of words at the Bytown Live Hoot in the Jack Percel Community Center in Ottawa Ontario, Canada.
Phreap is my own publication and I wrote about it in adding new word to my old song 'Georgia Strait' which was written in Vancouver long before when I was involved with the distribution of that paper.
Lyrics
#78. Georgia Strait / Let Phreap Circulate
by Patrick T. Connolly
Typed July 29, 1999 - transcribed from Live edit; March 30 2010.
Hey, hey, hey, hey Georgia Strait, Georgia Strait.
It's not to late.
Why, It's the right freight,
To get it strait,
With a Georgia Strait.
Hey, hey, hey, hey Georgia Strait, Georgia Strait.
Its right here in Gastown.
Don't you know the place ain't nut-brown.
It's really a vast waste town.
They all call it 'fast gas 'en' frown.
And I say, hey, hey, hey Georgia Strait, Georgia Strait.
It's not to late.
Why, It's the right date,
To get it strait,
With a Georgia Strait.
Hey, hey, hey, hey Georgia Strait, Georgia Strait.
At any rate You'd better get your Strait.
xx - mist words - xx
Oh don't be late.
It's not a take
Oh It's the right freight.
Get a Georgia Strait.
---------
I say don't Debate
Well it's top rate
make a date
To get a Georgia Strait.
------------
Meet your mate
don't hesitate
To get it strait,
With a Georgia Strait

Hey, Get Phreap and celebrate. celebrate
1.
Oh don't be late.
It's not a take
Oh It's the right freight.

Hey, hey, hey, hey it's top rate, it's top rate.
Hey, hey, hey, the Phreap you ate, th' Phreap you ate.
2.
It will invigorate
Phreap'll liberate
Let Phreap circulate
Phreap'll not deviate
Hey, hey, hey, hey Let it circulate, yea circulate.
Its right here in Ottawa's Lower town
In the Gleb it may be found around
Not the west end or Vanier, but Centertown
But Sandy Hill is where it's most renown.
3.
Get it 'n' celebrate
Totally immaculate
Be a Phreap advocate
Don't procrastinate.
Hey, hey, hey, hey Let it circulate, yea circulate.
Let Phreap be your associate.
It's top rate.
4.
It's not a freak.

It's our best treat.
Hey, hey, hey, hey Let it circulate, yea circulate.
At any rate You'd better get your Phreap.
