Thread Name: BS: Is there a 'Canadian' style?
Subject: RE: BS: Is there a 'Canadian' style?
I've been thinking about this, and I think that the only Traditional Canadian music I know is in French. I don't think I know any "traditional" anglophone canadian songs... Does Alberta Bound count? I can think of Mon Pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver, and a lot of others from that side, why don't I know anything by the rest of you northerners? (I am American by passport but grew up in francophone countries. But I know a lot of other anglophone traditional songs, English, Aussie, American, etc. - just not Canadian. Quelle fâcheuse lacune, as Pierre Fresnay so beautifully put it...
