Abstract
In his article on “Lumbercamp Singing and the Two Traditions” (Canadian Folk Music Journal, 1977, 17-23), Edward D. Ives noted that in lumbering regions public performance o f songs was largely dominated by men while the women’s tradition was o f domestic in-the-family singing. When Georges Arsenault compared this pattern with the practices o f Acadian singers in Prince Edward Island he found that there was a striking difference. Among the Acadians the women were prominent both in public and domestic singing and also in composing local songs. He suggests that this may be partly because the lobster canneries in P.E.I. played a similar part to the lumbercamps in preserving songs, and as many women as men worked in them.- The author retains copyright over the work.
