The Good Old State Of Maine, James Brown
The Good Old State Of Maine, James Brown
Maine Song and Story Sampler
People have likely been singing, whistling, and humming while working for as long as music and work have existed. This relationship has developed twofold, both as a way to make work go faster (either by passing the time or establishing a rhythm for work) and as a means of expressing discontent with work or working conditions.

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The South isn't dead, at least not yet. Still grasping at straws to maintain its segregated way of life, the last stronghold of American feudalism is slowly dying. But it will die a glorious death, in the traditions of old, going down to defeat with its flags flying. Unfortunately, for the rest of the nation, its fruitless struggle will engulf all.

Canaday-I-O, Robert French
Canaday-I-O, Robert French
Maine Song and Story Sampler
The major recurring theme in these folksongs from Maine and Maritime Canada is the flow of cultural products and people within the area of New Hampshire, Maine, and eastern Canada. But while this cultural and demographic exchange helped define the region, it did not mean there was no rivalry or animosity between states, provinces, or nations.

Satirical Songs In Maine And The Maritime Provinces Of Canada, Edward D. Ives
Satirical Songs In Maine And The Maritime Provinces Of Canada, Edward D. Ives
Dr. Edward D. Ives Papers
Invective, ridicule, and insult are not uncommon ingredients in folk songs, and since songs containing these elements usually make us laugh, we speak of them as satirical. Sometimes the satire springs from a strong sense of social injustice, as it did with singers like Aunt Molly Jackson and Woody Guthrie. More commonly it arises from personal motives, such as a desire to annoy. This is a progress report on local songs-particularly those attributed to Larry Gorman-in Maine, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Northeast Folklore Volume 4: Eight Folktales From Miramichi, Edward D. Ives, Wilmot Macdonald, Louise Manny
Northeast Folklore Monographs
Volume 4 of Northeast Archives marked a change in the publication. No longer was it published in four editions throughout the year with a variety of small articles, but now it was a single monograph published generally once a year. The focus of the first monograph is Wilmot MacDonald, a singer and storyteller from Miramichi, New Brunswick. Helen Creighton and Edward D. Ives had both collected from MacDonald and this publication came from their collaboration on that material.
