If you're from Prince Edward Island, or you've ever heard a song sung on the island, chances are you've heard a song by Larry Gorman, who penned hundreds of songs in the mid-1800s. Once in a while a folk songwriter will write a tune that makes it into oral tradition. It becomes so popular that it's passed down generation to generation - and Gorman's tunes did just that. This is the story of PEI's unsung songsmith, Larry Gorman.
