Far from home, far from home On Fraser River's shore So sang
the miners at their sluice boxes at Emory's Bar during the Fraser
River Gold Rush of 1858. British Columbians have always sung
about their work, and their recreation, their politics, their
living conditions - the good times and the bad. This unique
collection of songs spanning a period of seventy-five years is a
colorful documentary giving vivid glimpses into the social,
economic, and political life of the province from the time of
Captain Cook to the present. Founding and honorary life member of
the Vancouver Folk Song Society, honorary president of the
Canadian Folk Music Society, Phil Thomas sings, accompanies
himself on a five-string banjo or guitar and has for thirty years
taught and been concerned with the spread of awareness and
enjoyment of folk music. Much of his teaching has been in the
field of child art and he has taught in the Vancouver School of
Art, at the University of British Columbia and the Vancouver Art
Gallery.
