Subject: RE: Norman Doucette: Music, a Heartbeat from the Soul
Mum sings a few lines of a Mi'kmaq song she learned as a young child. She left us in 2007 at the age of 91. The Mi'kmag are a First Nations group from the Maritime Provinces of Canada and parts of Maine. The following song "Tamarack Jack" is the first song Norman wrote. The song is more of the north country then of the Maritimes.
