Hello!

I was passed on here by the good folks at the Great Big Sea Online Kitchen Party forum. They told me that you folks might be able to help me find some information on some traditional music played by Great Big Sea. I'm a radio student, and I'm putting together a one-hour profile on the band. What I wanted to do was talk about the history behind some of their music, but I'm having a difficult time finding what I need.

Some of the songs I'm hoping to find info on are,

• Billy Peddle
• Mari Mac
• The Night Pat Murphy Died
• Barque in the Harbor
• Scolding Wife
• Donkey Riding
• Rant and Roar
• Jolly Butcher
• Jack Hinks
• Ferryland Sealer
• Old Brown's Daughter
• Yarmouth Town

I only need about half of these, but I figure there's info on some of these and none on others, or very little. I'd deeply appreciate any assistance.

Thank you,
Robin
