I hope this isn't a duplicate. I did a super search and checked the links and didn't see anything, so..here is a site I found tonight, of Newfoundland and Labrador trad songs: CLICK HERE

Not a humoungous number, some 260 or so and a few guitar chords....looks interesting, though.

Thanks,

kat

Kewl, Sandy! As usual, I found it while hunting for others for another thread, this time for a site for lyrics to musicals!

Thanks!

Anybody have a new address for Frank White's Website?

I found a different one - http://nfldsongs.tripod.com/
Also this one: http://www.wordplay.com/tourism/folklore.html
And the best of them is GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador: http://www.wtv-zone.com/phyrst/audio/nfld/

I found these guys when searching YouTube for something completely different - you could say I got what I was looking for!

BuddyWassisName & the Other Fellers - Song Reference index

Some very humorous, some very poignant, full of Newfoundland stories and songs, monologues, poems, you name it.

Frank White retired his site to three individuals just before the summer of 2002. One of them kept the site for private use. One of them had the best intentions, but failed to follow through. The third, of course, was GEST, which has grown from Frank's original 500 or so songs to the current 2,300.

The quantity of MIDI files and guitar chords has greatly increased as well. Starting in the last week of April of this year, YouTube videos are also being added - 117 to date. Other additional features started right from our beginning were historical and biographical notes accompanying archived items, individual collections such as Peacock, Leach, and Lehr/Best, and the GEST Forum. The number of individual artist listing pages has more than doubled.

We appreciate the vast input given GEST by hundreds of contributors, MIDI file sequencers, videographers, and folks like yourself who recognize the fruits of our labour. Thank-you.

this is a great site but the old links don't seem to work

http://gestsongs.com/indexnav.htm is what I've been using and hopefully I've done this correctly
