I spent my teen years with a foster family in the Maritimes. The community at that time was mostly Acadian and mostly related. Usually on a Saturday night we would all get together in someone's kitchen. One of the old fellows would bring his homemade beer in brown, quart bottles. There'd be people playing guitars, fiddles and the spoons. The adults would drink and sing, play music and drink, drink and drink.
My favorites were the drinking songs. Those Saturday nights are some of my favorite memories and I wondered about how popular drinkings songs were. I found out that they are very popular. People from all walks of life sing them.
