My son is just about to travel to Canada (tomorrow) and I have asked him to try and get me recordings of Jim Hanlon's "Lunenburgs Pride" and a song called "Maritime's Daughter". Unfortunately I do not know who recorded the latter title.

Can anybody assist me in identifying the CD titles he will have to look for. I believe Maritime's Daughter was being recorded on CD for a special project and was to be released around easter this year.

Thanks,

Bill.

According to this thread it is only available on a CD called "Stones in the Road". There is a link to the CD project in the thread. I did not check it to see if it still works.

Let me know if you are singers or players. I can tell you where you might get to play or sing, if you're willing

Maritime's Daughter is written by Roger Stone, and the recording is to be on the Bluenose project,

Birth Of a Queen

Currently I believe the project is on hold. Will check and get back to you.

Thank you all for your help.

My son will be arriving later today and he will call me on arrival. Jim and George, I will pass your numbers on to him. I hope to get over that way myself (possibly next year) and I will time that to attend some of the great festivals you guys have mentioned in previous threads.

Best wishes to you all.

Bill.

I see Roger Stone is going to be in the Old Triangle tonight. He's the author of Maritime's Daughter.

Teribus, are you looking for songs about the Bluenose? If so, do you have Dan McKinnon's cassette? He's got a great one - The Captain and the Queen. Wonderful song. It should be available at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic on Water Street. The CD it is on is Between Wind and Water He also plays at the Brewery Market on Saturday mornings.

Lyrics copied from http://www.geocities.com/Nashville/Opry/8058/cd2.html
(A description of a tape of songs performed by Buddy MacDonald)

LUNENBURG PRIDE
(Lyrics, Ron Gillis. Music, Fred Lavery.)

Clearing farewell buoys sails running free
Set the course for Labrador these men of the sea
They worked her decks in cold winter squalls
As the schooner from Lunenburg made ready for the trawls.

Heave her nose into the wind and fight the winter breeze
Two men to a dory tossed on the boiling sea
Hauling lines their quarry to be gained
To a life of work and danger these men were ordained.

From that moment on a legend's name was born
A noble ship from the Maritimes forever to be known
As the Bluenose from Lunenburg graced upon our dime
Destined for a grave on a Haiti shoreline.

Three miles out from mother ship anchors "slack to drift"
Setting tubs, baiting hooks, dories dip and shift,
Fishermen with hearts so strong and true
Gave us her name.... Forever Bluenose.

Chorus

MARITIMES' DAUGHTER, by Roger Stone, has already been posted in the Forum.

A little farther down the same thread, you can also find LUNENBURG'S PRIDE, a different song from the one posted above. This one is by Jim Hanlon, and may be the one that was wanted in the first place.
