Hi:

I am looking for a LP or CD called "French Canadian Folk Songs". It has music that has to do with lakes and canoes.

If you have it or know where I can find it, please let me know. If you do not know, please reply so that I know that I have to continue my search.

Thanks,

Jose Botero Peterborough, Ontario 705-741-6443 w: jbotero@amp.com h: jbotero@sympatico.ca

Jose -- you'll have to give more information, anything at all that can identify the record, even how old it is. That title could cover a lot of discs!! You mention lakes & canoes etc., so maybe you can give some more of the contents. There's many a Canadian song that deals with them! One clue you can give, surely: where you heard of it. Murray

Jose, I may be giving you information you already have, but there is a great folk group from your neck of the woods called Tanglefoot. One of their albums is called "Voyageurs & Vagabonds" and is, to use their words, a compilation of traditional French Canadian Voyageur songs. It's only available as a cassette, and you can order through their web site. I have their cds and I've seen them perform live. An absolutely fantastic group. Check out their site. www.kawartha.com/tanglefoot/ Enjoy, Dan
