A Crowd of Jolly Trappers (Douglas Best)

A Crowd of Jolly Trappers (Douglas Best)

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. Singing through the rhythm for the subsequent verses doesn't quite match given the number of syllables on each line so I had to make some modification on the fly during ...

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).

B'y D'Lard Liftin (Buddy Wasisname)

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.

Bury Our Bodies in Newfoundland Soil (Bob Porter)

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.

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 ...
