Of course there are lots of songs that John Bartlett and Rika Rubesat (hope I spelled it right..oops so worried about Rika's last name that I misspelled Jon's..should be Jon Bartlett..) have collected as well as the Phil Thomas collections. However, I think BC is well represented and that there are precious few songs we know of Washington, Oregon etc. I was talking with John P. and the late John Ross at a folklife years ago and they said that..but I said we don't speak Norwegian or Finn so we really don't know...I would keep beating the bushes for more local songs...also check out songs in Chinook market language. mg
