Life is Like Canadian Football?
The CFL Sessions story goes like this in the 1970's Canadian Folkorist Staunton R. Livingston recorded songs of CFL players performing original and traditional songs - about football. The recordings were then promptly placed in the national archives where they were lost until 2008. Resident folklorist at the National Archives, Henry Adam Svec then discovered the badly deteriorated tapes and brought them back into the light
They were then rerecorded in sessions at London, Ontario and Sackville, NB and feature guest performances by Andy Magoffin of the Two Minute Miracles (who also produced the London, Ont. session) and Laura Barrett.
A special commemorative CD will be released on August 1, 2009 but you can download it digitally for free, right now at http://www.thecflsessions.ca/songs.html. The CFL Sessions website also has more information about the original and new recordings and the people involved.
