Here's one that shouldn't be affected by that kind of thing. Emile Benoit was a Newfoundland fiddler and singer, and here he is singing an 18th Century French song, Vive la Rose. He died a few days after the record containing this came out in 1992. Here is more about Emile Benoit , and here are the words of the song , also know as "Mon ami me délaisse" (slightly different from the version Emile sings.) I know that extra stuff won't get archived, but it's good having the context in the meantime. So herer is Emile singing Vive la Rose - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4uLc2PmB0o - the song is used here as background to some rather charming family photos of a visit to Newfoundland and a family reunion.
