Dejah learned this song from the singing of Charlotte Cormier of Moncton, a pioneering woman of Acadian song collecting. The song is sung in an old Acadian dialect, and it’s yet another song about family troubles culminating in murder. The title loosely translates to “Honey, you look so pale.” Probably because of blood loss.

Had to check the notes to see who else was playing fiddle. Laura’s versatility is astonishing, combined with superb skills from her friends. Not going to choose a favourite track until another ten plays, if then. Please don’t make us wait two decades for more. kinfan
