Songs of the Makers of Canada
By John Daniel Logan.
The Great Canadian Tunebook
I commented to Doug Ross that I had attended a night out amongst
Scots and that as we were singing Scots songs one of the folk in the
bar asked us if we didn't know any Canadian songs. We found
the only Canadian song anyone knew was the National Anthem, O
Canada. And so a little time later Doug sent me a few emails
on the subject which I gathered together here.
