Thread Name: Songs from British Columbia. Help & Thanks
Subject: RE: Songs from British Columbia. Help & Thanks
Thanks folks. These are all fine songs, but I'm thinking of something more general. The people that I play these to, rarely know much about folk music and sometimes don't speak much English. Generally I play things like "V'la Le Bon Vent" for Quebec, "Ghost of Bras'dor" for Newfoundland etc. Perhaps someone might take a shot at writing a poem about British Columbia or Saskatchewan, and I could put a tune to it. I'm not looking for a superficial "folk song," just something that's descriptive.
