A Crowd of Jolly Trappers (Douglas Best) NOTES ON THIS SONG This is a song written by Douglas Best. I do not have any more information on this song but from the lyrics its clear its about the early Canadian fur trappers (Beaver being a very valuable pelt). This is performance is based on the sheet music for the first verse.

The Cabin, The River, and I (Wayne Chalk) NOTES ON THIS SONG This is a song written by Wayne Chaulk (of Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers). You can find it on their B'y D'Lard Liftin album (1998). I have attempted a go at the title track as well if you're interested.

NOTES ON THIS SONG This song is a tune written by Newfoundland's Buddy Wasisname (and the other fellers). Just a fun little number, I don't think there is a lot of philosophical meaning behind this one, but I might be wrong. This isn't my normal style of song that I sing but I worked with a recording of the song and I feel it's close. If you're a fan of buddy, let me know how it stands up! Cheers.

NOTES ON THIS SONG This song is a tune written by Newfoundland's Bob Porter and is another song in a great many that address the Newfoundland fishery. This song is a lament to those Newfoundland fishermen who were forced our of their lively hood by the big draggers that came forcing the Newfoundlanders to the mainland to find other sources of work. I think this is a great tune, empowering, despite being forced away from their homes and their jobs, they never truely leave and want to find ...
