Thread Name: Farewell to Nova Scotia - seek specific recording
Subject: RE: Farewell to Nova Scotia - seek specific recording
Peace, that information probably came from the Mudcat. IF you look at some of the old threads, you will discover that we put it here before any other site had the association or the text. The text was posted here first as I remember.

I had asked about it as I had looked for a while and couldn't find the full text, and someone was able to find the book with it and typed it in. One of the other members had found a site with part of the text though.

I will have to look it up, but I know that Catherine wasn't the first one to record it. Hers may have been the first one to make it up the charts and into people's conciousness because of her association with Singalong Jubilee.

A couple of my friends were on the show so I will confirm whether she knew the song before the show.
