Thread Name: Obit: folklorist Sandy Ives (1925-2009)
Subject: RE: Obit: folklorist Sandy Ives (August 2009)
One of Sandy's best known books is LARRY GORMAN: The Man Who Made the Songs, his research into the Prince Edward Island lumberman who worked in Maine and composed dozens of satirical songs about those he was working with, "friend and foe, relative and stranger, without fear or favour."

Sandy also published his in depth research into the traditional folk song "The Bonny Earl of Murray." It's fascinating reading.
