You might want to give a listen to Tom McHenry's "C'est L'Aviron" on the Boarding Party's second Folk-Legacy recording - CD-109 "Fair Winds and a Following Sea." In case you weren't aware of it, he's the Mudcat's "Padre."

There's a fine "Vole, mon Coeur, Vole" (a French-Canadian canoe paddling song) led by Maggie Baye on The Johnson Girls' "On the Rocks" - also on Folk-Legacy (CD-133).

I don't have Tom Brandon's album transferred to CD as yet, but it's coming! All of the others mentioned above are now available as CDs, including Lawrence Older's Adirondack songs and ballads on which he sings "En Roulante" (CD-15).

Sandy (still plugging along!)
