Gerry Formanger, The Ballad Of Mosey Burns.wmv

Mosey Burns

This summer for some reason I started thinking about NewFoundland, when I was a 5 year old that is where my father was stationed...I remember being there during the Cuban Missle Crisis and the day President Kennedy was shot...I will have to share some of those memories later. Well suddenly I thought about Mosey Burns, I guess he was a homeless man, I remember all of us kids were scared of him and some other Newfie...we called Jimmy Pluck Pluck...I had stitches in my ear because of Jimmy Pluck Pluck but that is another story too. I remember Mose Burns coming to our house and going to the backdoor and my mother would give him something to eat. Usually home made bread...she was on a roll with that. I think we had a wood burning stove. Which is yet another story. Anyway I google Mosey Burns, and someone actually wrote a ballad about him....How bizarre is that I am now 53 years old , and just discovered Mosey Burns was such a character, he has a ballad.
