Keep comingt back to this site, my post was the last one 3 months ago and I am thinking that in a day or two the horror of ten years age will be remenbered and this composition would be fitting to the good people of Newfoundland in general but surely to the citezen s of Gander.....I am a friend from Quebec who is very proud of is fellow compatriots.

Awesome music,thanks for sharing.Could you tell me what guitar your pickin and from the pixs and sound of the tune home must be Newfoundland,a paradise indeed.Your a treasure Sir.

J'ai habité la dernière maison du bout de route asphalté de l'Anse-à-Canards de septembre 2001 à septembre 2002.

En regardant ce vidéo et en entendant la musique, je m'ennuie de Terre-Neuve! Je me souviens d'une élève de l'École Sainte-Anne qui me disait en riant que "j'habitais un trou", mais quel beau trou! Je pouvais entendre le "tougoudougoudougoudou" des bateaux de pêcheurs dans la baie et marcher sur la grève pour trouver des cages à homards rejetées sur le rivage.

De beaux souvenirs!

Listening once again, this morning, Robert - as lovely, if not lovelier, than when I first heard this! You are gifted musician! Aidan's photographs so fittingly match your music! Many thanks!

[LindsayCurran]

So hauntingly beautiful! Many, many thanks! Heartbreakingly lovely!!!

[Box460]

this a very beautiful tune and it made me home sick. I amlearning the button accordion and would like to get or buy the sheet mucic for this tune, that way I won't wreck playing it when I can read the notes . Hope you can help me

[UISTMAN59]

Reminiscent of Ashokan Farewell and none the worse for that. Great tune :-) *****

[Squarekn0t]

I have to guess you are a decendent of Emile, whom I met in 66' 'viva la rose, at a garden party, The Land We're Walking on was a memorable tune. It caused me to spend a great deal of money on squeeze boxes, and screech instead of lessons, but Lrd Tundrin Jesus, when everybody in da fock'sls drunk it all sounds good

[Mustangfan777]

hello robert, it's jesse, ken hynes' son...I just wanted to say I love the song, makes me miss it down home...as if i didnt miss it enough!!..great vid!!

[sergyguitar]

Mille merci pour cette si jolie ballade .I love it !!!

[sclarke64]

This song is so beautiful. Where can I get purchase a CD. I am putting old slides together for my Dad and would love to have this as background music.

[RobertBenoit13]

Just send me your email address and i will give you the details ..

thank you Robert

[Doctoall]

Robert, I would also like the details, this is an awsome musical piece.

[drivermciver]

Got me homesick now.

[moosehunterr]

great music and the best of music. many tks.

[RobertBenoit13]

Thank You for watching...

Robert

[davisbh1]

Excellent job with or without lyrics. I love it just the way it is

[Sunriseatnoon]

Beautiful music and pleasant scenes..ty!!

[Doctoall]

Some things are best left alone. Being a Newfie here in California, I can add my own words that work best for me to bring me home to the shores. One only has to be a Newfie to sit back watch the pics and listen to the music that brings you back to the shores of Newfoundland. Naw please don't clutter the tune with lyrics, leave it to our imagination.

[ArkRed1]

Robert,

What a fine instrumental. I'm now in the process of writing lyrics to the tune. If I ever record the song I will get in touch with you first concerning royalties, etc. I think the song ranks right up there with Ashoken Farewell and should have be in a Ken Burns film if not already. It's a great fiddle tune. Ya done good lad.

Very nice piece of music. Mac Campbell here, celtic fiddler from the Campbell's Creek. Do you have the sheet music for this? If so I woul like to learn this tune on the violin. The pictures bring back a lot of memories.
