Subject: Panama Canal songs, words and tunes From: CCCJacqueline Date: 24 Mar 15 - 08:34 AM Hi All This is my first post. I am looking for any folk songs or tunes about the Panama Canal that have a Caribbean connection.. I know about "Panama man", 'Colon man' aka 'One, two three, four, Colon man'. I want to learn these songs, so if you could you also let me know on which LP/music book etc you found the song. Thanks Jacqueline |

Subject: RE: Panama Canal songs, words and tunes From: Jack Campin Date: 24 Mar 15 - 09:33 AM There is a webpage about the Gaillard Cut (the deadliest part of the construction process) which mentions a song of the time called "Somebody Dying Every Day". That might be relevant, if you can find it. |
