Sure Dale. The cajuns were evicted from Canada in 1757. Have you any songs of that period you can suggest. Kendall, perfect, I'd forgotten about that song, as a matter of fact I believe I have a recording of Chanterelle doing Un Canadien Errant. As a matter of fact Chanterelle might be precisely where to look for this material. As far as Evangeline, I agree it's a beautiful piece of writing, but I believe I'm looking for a immigrant's view of immigration, or even a natives view of invasion, other than someone's view of how she might of felt. I'm going to be doing a workshop on immigration song and I'm largly interested in first person accounts, I could be swayed though. Once again any imput is appreciated.
