Two-minute background story on 'Farewell to Nova Scotia', with the clip that made Catherine McKinnon famous. From the documentary about Canadian folklorist Helen Creighton, 'A Sigh and a Wish'.

Thanks for the info. It looks like Smithsonian hasn't released any version of 'Farewell to Nova Scotia' recorded by Helen Creighton. It's probably moldering away in their - or another museum's - archive.
