A short history on 'Farewell to Nova Scotia' 

Fascinating, lovely, I'll be looking for more about this timeless song and it's discoverers.

Helen Creighton , our own hero.

Catherine McKinnon was one of the first girls I ever kissed as a young lad!

I like Catherine Mackinnon's Both sides now; I had a brother-in-law from New Brunswick and he looked exactly like Tiny Tim; ha.

Can anyone tell me who is singing that isn't Catherine Mckinnon?! Their voice just slays me...

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.

What film is that clip at 1:45 from?
