Lumberman Larry Gorman was no respecter of borders -- nor of anything else, it seems. From the time he was a young lad growing up on Prince Edward Island until his death in Brewer, Maine, in 1917, Larry Gorman composed satirical songs about friend and foe, relative and stranger, without fear or favour. Larry Gorman: The Man Who Made the Songs was first published nearly thirty years ago. In this new edition of this celebrated book, Edward D. Ives tells the story of the songwriter as he followed his lumberman's trade from Prince Edward Island to the Miramichi and Maine. Meticulously researched and thoroughly documented, this biography features more than 70 of Gorman's folk lyrics, 26 with musical annotations.
