Delighted to find this thread. I've sung The Bird Rocks for years and am finally getting around to recording it, as a bonus track for the re-release of my 1988 album Crosscurrents. I made the original cassette while working at Gros Morne in 1987 and have many happy memories of campfire sings at Lobster Cove Head. I'm only sorry I wasn't able to meet Mrs. Waters, as she was no longer taking visits from folklorists. However, I'd love to send a copy to the family if you send me an address, lynnoel@lynnoel.com. The digital download should be released by the fall: here's the album page on my website where you can listen to streaming tracks. http://www.lynnoel.com/crosscurrents/recordings/crosscurrents/
