Ron Hynes may be the most popular Newfoundland entertainer in history. I’d been a big fan for many years. I never missed them when the Wonderful Grand Band played on TV and saw them live back in the day. One of my favorite songs of his was “St John’s Waltz. St John’s is where I was born and is my hometown to this day, and Ron loved it dearly. For the record, Ron was born in Ferryland, Newfoundland, less than an hour’s drive south of the city.

In the spirit of the song, I created a mosaic of a portrait of Ron and almost 100 photos of his beloved city. The city also loved him. RIP Ron!
