Thread Name: Help! Canadian field recordings??
Subject: RE: Help! Canadian field recordings??
That Canadian Society in Calgary has been doing some interesting work. Though my Dad is from the Pacific Northwest in Washington, they are one of several groups that expressed an interest in discussing what is in his papers, and they do sound like a good place to consider donating them.
He had in his collection of LPs one that is from the Canadian east, a folkloric, almost ethnographic collection of some elderly individuals who sang for the collector. When I was copying all of Dad's LPs (I at one time thought I was going to have to break up the collection more than I ended up having to) I came across this one. The kids were home when I played and recorded it, and they were not amused. But that's another story. . .
