beetle cat	Lyr Req: Songs of Newfoundland & Labrador (118* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Songs of Newfoundland & Labrador	18 Apr 07
http://www.mun.ca/folklore/leach/songs/NFLD.htm That is a link to Macedward Leach's collection of Newfoundland songs, there are audio clips of the field recordings as well... pretty darn cool. As for my personal favorite, it is really hard to say. There are just so many songs here in NL. Did Ron Hynes write Sonny's dream? I know that some contemp NL singer did. Dick Nolan and Ellis Coles wrote Aunt Martha's Sheep. I guess that is the way of it though, if you go writing folksongs, you cant really expect to get credit for them. They are so commonly accepted as trad now that issues of public domain are questionable.
