Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Miner's Song (from J.P. Cormier)
Subject: RE: Tune Req: J.P. Cormier
Hi. I don't remember the song. Will look. JP writes a number of his own songs, so it could be his own composition as well.

JP was born in the town of Bridgewater, and worked as a young musician. His parents are from the Cheticamp area of Cape Breton where he and his wife, Hilda, now live. For quite a number of years before he moved to Cape Breton, he lived and worked as a session musician in Nashville. JP plays (in no specific order), fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo, and bass. Probably a few others which I don't recall. HE's a great musician, and plays many different styles.
