Unfortunately, I'm on the island on the other side of the country from the Tropical Isle of Newfoundland, so most of that folklore stuff is out of reach. Funnily enough, someone over on the Great Big Sea board mentioned Fergus O'Byrne as well. If I'm not mistaken, I think the GBS boys actually went to Memorial, one at least who actually studied Folklore.

Thanks to George for all your efforts. It's given me some stuff to go on, and I think I'm putting together what I need from poking around and from the liner notes, which I found out have little blurbs on the traditional songs on at least their latest album.

Thanks to everyone else who responded so quickly. It's helped me a lot!

And Donkey Riding? Darned if I know what it means. I just know that GBS does wicked harmony with it.
