No relation to Dick Nolan, Tim. My branch of the family are the Tuneless Nolans (save Cousin Mary). My father was very fond of songs and poetry though, and committed a lot to memory when he was working in the lumber camps in Labrador in the 1930s. In fact the lumber camps acted like the Aberdeenshire bothys of the 1800s in being a crucible of poetry and music. In the 1950s, when I was a kid, my father still had fragments of verse stuck in his head like shrapnel. Harbor Le Cou was one. The Little Beggar Man was another - he knew most all of that (except the tune, naturally). He also used to mutter bits of verses from a lumber camp song/poem called "The Double-sledded Lad" sitting up on his logs, "as happy as a king." I asked Dick Swain once, when he was researching woodsmen's songs in Maine, if he has come across it - he hadn't, at least at that time, so it may be localized to Newfoundland/Labrador. Can Tim or anyone throw more light on this one?
