I just ripped a 3 disc set of cds of folk music form all over canada. It's got everything from Inuit throat singing and an anthropological interview run through of a headdress doning song from the Kwakiutl to Newfie fishing songs, Ukranian tunes, French voayger songs and, excitingly for me, a bunch of tunes that my mother used to have on record when we were kids and I thought I would never be able to get in another format. Some of them are horrid, some are hilarious, some are awesome, and some a combination of the above.

So, if anyone would like to hear some traditional Canadian folk tunes... Native ones, or ones from a particular province, or songs of my youth, or whatever... lemme know :) I am happy to share them. The point of the compilation was to record culture, not to make money, so I can't possibly imagine that they would be mad about them being shared. *ptoui* on the record companies!

It's been a musical afternnon for me, as I ripped a bunch of my cds, and made a mixed CD for Julie, and other exciting music-related things :)
