David Gregory's article on Alan Lomax is from Canadian Folk Music, Vol 36. no.4.

Jed's raised an interesting question and once that has intrigued me for some time. I gave a paper entitled 'They Took Their Music With Them' at a conference in Ottawa in 2003 about the similarities between English and Canadian songs. I made a throw away comment towards the end of the session that there is a marked difference between the sound of Canadian folk song and that from the United States, especially the Applachian region. I was working on a follow up to this for last year's Association For Canadian Studies in the United States' conference but in the end I couldn't afford to go.

One petty point re emigration to Canada and the Unite States - the English also emigrated in huge numbers but have never been allocated a hyphenated name, e,g, -English-Americans. The title of Charlotte Erickson's major work on the English in the United States is rather apposite - it's 'nvisible Immigrants.'
