>>>>We are an Island...a song about Cape Breton, sounds very much like the Richard Farina tune for Birmingham Sunday. I forget who wrote the CB song or what the actual title is but for years I kept wondering where I had heard the tune before. Am I right or is it just my imagination ? Both great songs by the way.<<<< I was wondering if anyone here was familiar with Dickie Fariña! Raven Girl was one of my favourites. My grandfather wrote some very well known songs during the depression and he sold them for $25.00 a piece (a lot of money in those days) to people like Bob Nolan, Gene and Roy and Tex Ritter. They had no problem putitng their name on as "author" Even though all they did was cover them and collect the royalties! To me that is the height of audacity.
