Dan is a fellow who has worked extensively with the material in the Helen Creighton Collection. HE knows as much as most people, and more than many others.

OK, as Dan mentioned Roy MacKenzie. Roy was another man who started collecting some of the material in the region he lived in. His book was the inspiratioin for Helen Creighton who made it her life's work. Her sources included the people Dan mentioned above, but also people all through the Maritimes.

Among the people in Newfoundland, are

Jean Hewson & Christina Smith
Dan McKinnon - I know I mentioned him earlier.

Actually, for links to some of these people, check my page on Folk Music. I should actually update it somewhat. Start there. Look also at the Cape Breton Music page
