Tribute to East Coast Music legends

[Fubar]

For you folks from away, the East coast of Canada, is the home to Celtic music in Canada. It has a very rich heritage in the tradition dating back to the 17th century.
This past year the Maritimes(PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia) lost three legends.

John Allen Cameron
Dutch Mason
Denny Doherty

This link is to a tribute to those three...this link focuses on John Allen, his son is the fellow on acoustic, wit the longer hair, and they do show a brief glimpse of his wife, while John's favourite song "Four Mary's" is playing...that song will bring me to my knees every time.

Enjoy a little taste of the East Coast

Very cool....my fathers side is Acadian/Irish as well, there a few larger communities on PEI that fly there flag.

The Acadian Flag was born in the 1800's in Mischouche PEI, and later in Lousiana, I think in the 1960's another flag was created to recognize the Acadians who landed there way back when...

The gold Star on the flag represents the Star of the Sea, symbolizing protection of the Virgin Mary, who is the patron saint of the Acadians.
