Subject: RE: Canadian disaster songs: research project
Thanks for all the support, folks! You might be interested in checking out the updated disatersongs.ca website, especially the blog entries that I've started posting.

There are several new songs too, especially about the Miss Ally and Westray.

BTW, I was excited to read about Spirit of the West's "Mum's the Word," but it turns out that it was about the Giant Mine explosion in the Northwest Territories. Both events occurred in 1992. Since it's not about an Atlantic Canadian disaster, I won't include it on the website. However, my research colleague, Joe Scanlon, will be interested in it since he's beginning work on disaster songs from across Canada.
