wow, this thread has come a long way. Twillingate to Lunenburg and back again, pistols drawn and fisticuffs engaged...the process at its best! Mariner's point made eight years or so ago is fair enough--Alan Mills was not a Newfoundlander, but a major Canadian folk singer of the early revival period--but fortunately for me, being a poor mainlander myself, I couldn't tell the difference between his accent and a real one, so it never bothered me! I still prefer the Newfoundland origin, but most of all, I am thrilled that there was someone named "Virtue Kean". W-O
