Thread Name: What was sung in Ontario in 1860's?
Subject: RE: What was sung in Ontario in 1860's?
Excuse my ignorance, but is there a "hillbilly" music for Ontario -- I am thinking of some of the remoter settlements (the backblocks of Collingwood, Peterborough, the outskirts of the Ottawa Valley, etc., which I can remember from the 60s as being pretty isolated and rough, especially when the snow came), or did everyone come too late for such a tradition to develop its own songs?

yours, Peter T.
