Subject: RE: The Honest Working Man Explained?
Good Morning,
I am Beer's (Adrien) sister Judy and my husband and I are traveling back from St. Thomas Ontario where we spent 4 weeks beside my Mother's bedside.

Adrien showed me this site this morning and I found the reading quite fascinating. Of course I tend to agree with my brother's interpretation as I personally can attest to the handsomeness of the husky darken tanned men of Chezzetcook.!!

As to the Bellefontaine song. Come to visit "L'Acadie de Chezzetcook" this summer and if you are fortunate enough to be there when our volunteer Shirley (Doucette ) Lowe is on duty, she will sing the Bellefontaine song for you. This is done frequently for visitors to our site and especially to thoes visiting the Acadian House Museum. Also, our Local historian Lena Ferguson also sings this song for visitors.

A short time ago, Lena Ferguson sang the song for the Eastlink program on TV. The program is called Eastlink Magazine and the clip was filmed at our new facility the Café Grand Desert. This Café is an Acadian Café located in the Acadian community next to West Chezzetcook, along Highway 207. Drop by you will love it.

Incidentally, I have the recording by Diane Oxner of the Honest Working Man. I will check when I get back home to see if there is any information on the album.

Cheers Judy b.
