Stewart Ballad of the Merry Ferry -songs of the Northwest (111* d) RE: Ballad of the Merry Ferry -songs of the Northwest 02 Nov 14


And here is the Ballad of the Merry Ferry as sung by John Dwyer, who put the poem by Emma Rounds to music in 1978. I just got the sound clip from Bob (Deckman) Nelson - recorded at a Seattle hoot in 1978.

And a couple other of John Dwyer's Pacific Northwest songs sung by John Dwyer (also recorded at the same hoot in 1978).

Notice to Mariners

San Juan Pig

More Pacific Northwest songs are on the PNW Folklore Society web site here.
In the next issue of the NW HOOT - at the end of November - Bob Nelson will have an article about John Dwyer - SEATTLE FOLKSINGERS,
THOSE WHO LED THE WAY.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
