Subject: conflict during (American) revolution
Hi Folks. My friend Dianne Myers is visiting and I wanted to show her some of the wonders of mudcat. (She's been a long time supporter of folk music in Toronto)
She asked if any Catters knew of songs that touched on the conflict between American Privateers and Nova Scotia fishermen around the time of the American Revolution. It apparently has an element of irony in it as many of the residents of western Nova Scotia had recently migrated from New England and apparently sympathized with the Colonists.
'Fraid I can't help her so I thought I'd throw it out here.
