CD BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION This CD is a donation by Mike Cohen to the interpretive Program of San Juan Island National Historical Park to help support its numerous activities and it is available from the Park visitor centers. It contains a sampling of traditional songs that parallel those that would have been brought to American and English Camps by the thousand or so soldiers who were stationed on San Juan Island from 1859-1872. These songs are antiques and artifacts of the period that were not material so, unlike uniform buttons or buildings, they disappeared with the disappearance of those that knew and sang them. No record has been found regarding the specific versions of songs that may have been present at the camps during the period of occupation. Their presence is assumed because they were the way people expressed themselves through singing before recorded music came into being in 1929. Cohen does all the singing and instrumentals on this CD. Putting on the Style depicts how people would show off to attract attention to themselves. I learned it at Camp Woodland, 1949 Santa Anna is a sea shanty that set the pace for work to be done aboard ship. The sailors thought of themselves as underdogs and often made or found heros in their music for they were needed. For this reason, in this song Santa Anno wins the Mexican War. From the singing of Ewan McCall, 1955 Home Deary Home tells the tale of a sailor who gets a letter saying his wife has had a baby and she can see his eyes staring at her from the baby on her knee. She doesn't tell him if its a boy or girl, so he quits sailing and goes back home to find out. From Alan Mills, 1952 The Great High Wind is an Irish Reel and might have been played at American Camp since a large number of the soldiers there were from Ireland. Learned at the Fox Hollow folk festival. 1974 Kissing is a Crime portrays the social customs of the day and those that risked breaking them. From the New Lost City Ramblers Buffalo Range relates the tale of folks hired to kill the buffalo in order for the trains to run on time and to deprive Native American populations of food and materials in order to dispell them. They find that their boss wants to exploit them, as well, so they dispose of him, too. From Lew Brown at Camp Turkey Point. 1946 Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya conveys a mother's or sweetheart's sorrow about the war injuries of a loved one. The origins of this song go back to the twelth century where in centered on three ravens discussing their chances of feeding upon a dying soldier. From the singing of Robin Roberts, as I recall. The Boatman Song is from the Ohio River and is included here because it is part of George Pickett's life as portrayed in the stage show written by Mike Vouri, Chief of Park Interpretation programs. Learned from Mark Parets and Bob Gibson. Mo Mary, No Irish Need Apply and Bull Run are additional songs from and about the Irish, see Great High Wind, above. Richard Dyer Bennet, Pete Seeger and Oscar Brand were my sources Soldiers Joy is a very well known tune, song and dance dating dating back into the period of the American Revolution, if not before. The Girl I Left Behind attempts to convey Pickett's sorrow over the loss of his wife in Texas. From the album "Listen to Our Story" a Brunswick album edited by Alan Lomax 1947 Parliments of England is a song of American complaints about England that led to the war of 1812. From a guest on Oscar Brand's Folk Song Festival, 1949 Haul on the Bowline is another sea chanty work song similar to Santa Anna. From the singing of A. L. Lloyd. Peter Grey, as does the Girl I left Behind, tells of a broken courtship due to the western migration of farms as the land gave out in New England. From Burl Ives, 1945, Town Hall, NY The Good Old Rebel some report is a spoof on the Southern Army, but others say the knew the fellow that wrote it and he was not joking. Devilish Mary warns men not to get invoved wih independent thinking women. A version by Woody Guthrie and Cisco Huston Pretty Saro is a haunting love song about a lover being lost to wealthy suiters. From a guest on WNYC folk song festival 1948 Rant and Roar tells of lighter parts in the life of a whaler. Learned from Bill Bonyun, 1957 Many of these songs have interesting write-ups on the Internet if you Google them. Act
