'The Northern Lights of Labrador' was written by Don Fulford, whom I believe is still alive. The song was popularized by the singing duo Corey and Trina back in the 70s.

The 'Squid-Jiggin' Ground' was written by A.R. Scammell of Change Islands. He went on to become a university professor and writer. The tune of the song is public domain (it's based on the Irish fiddle tune 'Larry O'Gaff') but the lyrics are still copyright.
