Arthur MacDonald (?) - Wedding At Kouchibouguac

Recorded by Stan Cassidy - Phone 1528 - for Radio and Electrical Service - 415 King Street, Fredericton, N.B.

 This song is sung a cappella. This is a humorous song about a wedding in Kouchibouguac. Mr. MacDonald seems to pronounce the place as Kouchimiguac. For the wedding Napan was ransacked to provide cowhides and buffalo coats (among other things) and at the wedding guests drank from dippers and bowls  and ate meat  from an ox that had died for the want of its teeth. Manny s note says that this was a satirical song made up by two disgruntled souls who were not invited to the wedding.  At 19:49 a man (likely Arthur MacDonald) begins singing 'Wedding at Kouchibouguac'. This song appears elsewhere in the Manny collection at (089-08).
