From rflohil@inforamp.net Fri Mar 31 20:18:17 2000 Date: Fri Mar 31 20:18:17 2000 From: Richard Flohil rflohil@inforamp.net Subject: [mplpost] Welcome to the publicity biz Dear Lisa Weitz, Welcome to the folk music publicity biz! There are a few people who follow this arcane trade, and most of us are doing it for the right reasons - we love music, and we can't play a lick, sing in tune, or (certainly in my case) dance like pregnant elephants. So we do publicity. We getg to hang backstage, schmooze with nice people, mess about with benign drugs once in a while, drink too much, hear great music, and act like groupies. The upside is that there are 5,322 unsigned, needy, ambitious, bands in southern Ontario alone, and probably less than 20 people who know how the publicity game works. A couple of words of well-meaning advice: Don't take on any artist if you don't like their music. Never lie to a media person. Never hype an artist more than he or she is really worth. Express your needs to media people in terms they understand ("here's an artist with a neat story that your readers will be interested in") rather than in terms of your artist's needs ("I have a new record and we need the publicity"). Finally, imagine that you'll get NO press, so get Plan B ready; in other words, anticipate failure and deal with it if it happens. If it does, well, you knew it could. But most of the time it works out pretty well, so life is a constant cheerful surprise: Hey! Wow! It worked!! Jump in and swim. I t's MUCH better than driving a taxi, although most of the time it doesn't pay as well. Especially in the folk business, which is why I'm glad I like blues, old rock and roll, intelligent country music, Celtic-y stuff, jazz and a whole bunch of other good music... Cheers and welcome, Richard - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From folkie@interlog.com Sat Apr 1 11:58:29 2000 Date: Sat Apr 1 11:58:29 2000 From: Shirley Gibson folkie@interlog.com Subject: [mplpost] GIG ON: Norm's guest Michael Laderoute TONIGHT; upcoming Hi folkies, Come to "Norm's Living Room" at the Tranzac in Toronto this evening around 7:30pm for a nice no-cover evening of music by Norm Hacking and invited friends. Tonight's special guest is Michael Laderoute, who has been an ongoing favourite at Norm's Tuesday evening open stages at the same venue. Michael is a strong songwriter and performer. His guitar work is also lovely, with strumming and slightly bluesy picking adding lovely accompaniment to songs of Norm and other performers. A few other guests to the living room will be invited to do a few songs. Usually some magic develops in the closing set with Norm, the special guest and other musicians trading songs, with all playing along. The evening Ben Sures of Edmonton guested, everyone started making up verses to a fun song only the writer knew beforehand. Stephen Fearing is recording a new CD in the main room tonight and tomorrow, as Rana has posted. Pop in before and after or for a break if you're attending. As usual, no cover for Norm's Living Room, but a basket may be passed. On Tuesday April 4, the open stage special guest is Ruth Jenkins with Michael Katz, who will be doing a full set. If you'd like to perform two songs at the open stage, come in time to sign up. On Saturday, April 8, CloudFest is running all day at the Tranzac to raise money to allow the venue to continue to operate. CloudFest is noon to midnight (or later) as you know. PLEASE SUPPORT CloudFest, so that all the wonderful series at the Tranzac continue - it would be terrible to lose Flying Cloud, Norm's series, and the many ongoing and special concerts that happen there. CloudFest details have been posted, $20 for a wonderful afternoon, $30 for a wonderful evening. In addition, there will be "pay what you can" in the front room of the Tranzac that day, with a terrific lineup arranged by Ken Bilton noon to late afternoon and another arranged by Norm six to midnight. Come to one event or come to all. More later on Ken and Norm's lineup. There are also raffle tickets available anytime prior at the bar for wonderful CD packages. Buy some when you drop in. See 'ya there!

Since this is a live recording no risk of sound bleed through could be tolerated. This would also include the sound checks - I have just left the set up and believe me it is a major production! Thus it would have been midnight before the living room could be set-up which is somewhat late. Norm was very gracious in accepting the need to cancel and I apologise for any inconvenience it may have caused. Regards Rana Flying Cloud / TRANZAC Rana N.S.

Hi there, m'posters, I'm doing two nights in Guelph at the elegant River Run Centre this weekend, April 7 and 8. Bob Johnston will be accompanying me on piano and we'll do, you know, some old stuff and some new stuff. (no blues though). I'll likely do a new song about what I think should be the symbol put on the crest of the city of Toronto: the averted eye. I also have a new number called "Your CD's Just a Coaster Now", but my younger daughter hates it. She thinks it's just mean. So maybe I won't do it. Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Also, the comedy show for which I wrote the "eye" song, "TORONTO 2000 HAMILTON 0", will be on CBC Radio that weekend, Ontario only, cause no one else cares,I guess. This show was fabulous. Everyone was given an assignment: do a bit on a specific aspect of life in Toronto. In the cast were Steve Brinder, Greg Eckler,Derek Edwards, Jane Luk, Laura McGhee, Stuart McLean, Andy Barrie, Avril Benoit, Jill Dempsey, Jim Curran, Bob Johnston (who played everyone on and off as well as accompanying me), and me. I did songs about Mel Lastman and Moses Znaimer, as well as the averted eye song. It was recorded at the Glenn Gould Theatre before one of the best audiences I've ever had. The show will be on Radio One on Friday,April 7, at 8 p.m., and on Radio Two on Saturday, April 8, at ll p.m. Bye now, Nancy W.

The show is being announced today (Tuesday Mar. 14) and tickets will go on sale on Thursday (Mar. 16) at the Massey Hall/Roy Thomson Hall box office (416) 872-4255. Tickets are $45.50, $$56.50, $76.50 and $86.50. Also on the bill will be a solo performance by John Hammond, as well as an appearance by Juno Award-winner Ray Bonneville, who will include Colin Linden among his small band. Needless to say, this is John Lee Hooker's first date in Canada in many years (and I'm trying to find out how many years!)...one of the most honoured blues artists of all time, he won a Lifetime Achievement Grammy this year; he has also won four other Grammys, and has been nominated a total of 12 times, and has won seven W.C. Handy Awards. For all the honours, though, John Lee Hooker remains, after a 60-year career, a mesmerizing bluesman, and one of the most seminal influences on North American popular music. Born August 22, 1917, he remains on the road, in our lives (if we love the blues), and in our hearts. It'll be amazing to see him again. If anyone needs more information or media background stuff on any of the participants in this once-in-a-lifetime concert, please contact me at (416) 351-1323.

Bill is a veteran of many folk festivals and concerts, as well as the coffee house circuit around North America and his bluesy approach and exciting performances have earned him a growing contingent of fans. His music stands alone in the folk world for it's detail, clarity and literary insight; his widely acclaimed work is the result of perseverance and strength of talent. The characters in his songs have a vitality and a vivid intensity brought to life by Bill's sharp attention to nuance and detail and the sophistication of his writing, enhanced by his weathered baritone voice. Bill has released 9 albums over a 15 year period, culminating in his latest, "Songs of Mississippi John Hurt", a tribute to one of his most profound influences. Each succeeding album has attracted wider attention and garnered him the acclaim he so richly deserves. He has applied his songwriting strengths to the production of his first novel, Edson, published in 1996. Those who have had the good fortune to see and hear Bill in live performance are enthusiastic in praising his superb delivery, his wry humour and razor-sharp wit and his ability to draw his audiences in; to make them a part of the overall experience. Join us on April 15th and find out for yourself! *Please Note - There will be a Song Circle after Bill's 90 minute set. So stick around and share some songs.

OJNAB is an organic musical project that centres around the original music of Jean-Paul Loyer of Joliette, Quebec. His music is based on the rhythms and melody strains of traditional Québécois music, thus the feet, guitar and fiddle float around melody line of Jean-Paul's banjo. Once a member of Les Fréres Labri, his associations with numerous musicians have lead to collaborations with some of the hottest Québécois players. This time Jean-Paul is bringing the young duo of Ni Sarpe ni branche: Eric Beaudry (guitar and feet, also a member of La Galvaude) and Simon Riopel (fiddle). Also joining them will be Oliver Schroer who is currently working on a new project with Jean-Paul and his musical bro' Jean-Claude Mirandette. The Flying Cloud meets most Sunday's at the TRANZAC Club, Sept - May. Concerts are in the Main Hall which provides a smoke-free, intimate atmosphere (smokers can always use the adjacent members lounge). More information can be obtained from the Folk Phone ((416) 410 FOLK (aka 3655)), or from Northern Journey Online (http://www.NorthernJourney.com/) - a great Canadian music resource, or by e-mailing me.

This week CBC Radio One’s North by Northwest took its popular musical segment Eight Thirty-Eight Saturday Morning on the road—taping singer/songwriter Joe Hall in performance and conversation at the Deep Cove home of longtime Lowry friend Harvey Burt. The segment airs Saturday April 8 at 8:38 am. Hall, immensely influenced by the Lowry’s life and brilliance, performed his song Dollarton Blues and joined Burt and host David Grierson in a discussion of Lowry’s life in Deep Cove and place in the world of literature. He is best known as the author of Under The Volcano. Following the session, Burt invited Hall to examine Lowry’s ukulele, which hung as a sentimental memento above the mantlepiece. Hall jumped at the chance. Standing with the instrument in his hand, examining the markings and exploring its sound, Hall was startled when Burt simply gave it to him, saying it belonged in the hands of someone who could make music with it. Joe Hall is a man seldom at a loss for words, but the moment clearly stunned him. Hall later concurred that sometimes speechless is just what the moment calls for. Hall left Burt’s house with a promise to have the treasured instrument restored and play it in the spirit of the great poet. It will doubtless be close at hand when Joe Hall begins a BC tour Sunday night 8 o’clock at the WISE Hall. Tickets are available at the door. -David Grierson Host/Producer North by Northwest "Creative people & what they create" weekend mornings from 6 til 9 http://radio.cbc.ca/regional/BC/nxnw/ live on the web: http://www.vancouver.cbc.ca CBC Radio One Box 4600, Vancouver B.C.

Drawing on traditional sounds and contemporary influences for their timeless melodies, Tamarack is folk music at its best. With vocal harmonies as true as the stories they have to tell, Tamarack's music explores the Canadian landscape and the people and events that shape our national character. Expertly weaving a rich wall of sound with an array of instruments (guitar, mandolin, bass, violin), a Tamarack live performance is charged with the same passion and commitment as the characters in their songs. With finely-honed songwriting skills this group creates new songs out of old legends, literally making history sing. The songs of Tamarack go beyond place and time to speak to all of us about where we've been and where we're going. Well, that's the press release bumpf. Tamarack is a trio consisting of Alex Sinclair (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Molly Kurvink (bass guitar, vocals) and Shelley Coopersmith (violin, mandolin, vocals). They're based in Ontario and for several years have travelled throughout Canada, the United States, England and Scotland, performing at festivals, concerts, schools, libraries - indeed almost every kind of venue imaginable. They are currently working on their fifteenth album. Opening for Tamarack is Bryan Williston. - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From sbriggs@log.on.ca Sat Apr 8 09:46:29 2000 Date: Sat Apr 8 09:46:29 2000 From: =?iso-8859-1?B?RHIuIFN0ZXZlICCpv6ms?= sbriggs@log.on.ca Subject: [mplpost] THE BEARCATS http://www.thebearcats.com/ Just FYI the Bearcats are a great R&B band from Owen Sound, Ontario.

What seems to happen is that they go out and hire a bar band or two and call it youth programming. I have nothing against youth or bar bands but if I wanted to listen to a bar band I would go and stand outside a bar. Surely it makes sense to "to stay with the one what brung you". Diluting the quality of an event (in the eyes of the faithful) can lead to an erosion of fan base as well as an attraction of new supporters. There, I feel better already!

Certainly the demographics of my club gigs and my house concert/folk festival gigs have been noticeably different. As mentioned in a previous maplepost exchange, club gigs can be excessively smoky, late starting and comparatively unenjoyable to the house concert setting. But I've noticed lately when I announce that I am playing a house concert somewhere that my younger fans (late teen to late twenties) conceptually have no idea what a house concert is. In addition, many do not attend folk festivals, and many do not even know they exist. I do strongly feel, however, that it is as much my responsibility as an artist closer to the younger crowd to "spread the gospel" of the wonders of the folk festival. For example: When the links section of my website gets going I will link festival sites to my website. When I am booked to play a festival it behooves me to announce many of the other artists on the bill; perhaps even perform songs by artists revered by a different demographic than the young-uns to show 'em what they're missing. Another thing I've done a few times is to present some workshops in high schools. Basically the premise has been: "There's another style of music besides Rap & Grunge, kids, and here it is!" Unfortunately I've done more of these kind of presentations in the US and not enough here in Canada. In the US, contemporary folk music is embraced by a wider audience age range probably because of the key role college radio plays there compared to home. More radio stations, more students hosting shows, more students hearing contemporary folk music. An interesting caveat: My newest CD has charted at the Queen's radio station, reaching number 2 on the MAIN chart, but I am not considered for the folk chart! To the student programmers at Queen's since I am young, I am not considered "folk", even though the artists on the folk charts are my musical contemporaries, and the artists on the main chart are industrial/goth/rock thingies that I have no more in common with than opera music. But in the eyes of the programmers "folk" equals "old". A sad and incorrect assumption. In the US more college stations (with tremendous broadcasting range and large numbers of listeners) do a better job of grouping artists due simply to style and not to age. Last, I have certainly felt at a few of the folk festivals that I have had the honour of performing at that the number of younger performers was lacking. I sympathize and understand with program directors and artistic directors who are unsure of a young performer's drawing ability and might pass on booking an artist such as myself until we are more firmly established. Unfortunately I think that by the time we are considered firmly established, with a proven drawing record we are no longer part of the younger community. Ultimately the festivals, and concert series' must be able to make money to survive and that might be the main stumbling block to adding more younger unknowns at the expense of older but potentially better drawing acts. I do know however that at this stage in MY career I am hungry for exposure and am often willing to play for less money to get that exposure. Ultimately if I'm good enough then CD sales pay my bills and if I don't sell CD's than I'm not good enough to be paid full scale in the first place. But like Ben Sures I often wonder where my age contemporaries are in the crowds. And I'm left thinking to myself that now is the time I could be filling the crowd with under-30's, turning them on to the music and artists that they don't really know about and that I love so much.

There are lots of young folkies out there and it's up to those of us "over 30's" (smile) to find them and give them a shot. Certainly if they start to get gigs, their friends will be there to cheer them on and, hopefully, will continue to attend your events. As for the biz side, I've written about this before. Bring in some young blood as voluneers and give them positions of significant responsibility. Those who get the biz in their blood will be the artistic directors of the future. Alternately, if there are "under 30's" out there who are tired of waiting for us dinosaurs to fossilize, start your own venue and bring in your own gang as volunteers, performers and audience.

Now in its sixth year, this event highlights the talents of Ontario songwriters and provides an opportunity for the winner to showcase their work for festival presenters at the annual OCFF Conference. The winner also receives a prize of $500.00. The competition is open to all residents of Ontario. The entry fee is $15 per song and the deadline for submissions is July 31, 2000. Last year's competition received 199 submissions from across Ontario. The winners - Aengus Finnan, Jamie Snider, and Alex Sinclair - can be seen at any number of Ontario folk clubs and festivals. Past winners include Don Ross, Holmes Hooke, Lee Hayes, Erin Benjamin, Ellen Hamilton, Glen Reid, Jennifer Noxon and others, most of whom continue to have very active careers as professional performing songwriters. The OCFF represents 21 festivals across Ontario. The showcase at their conference provides a major opportunity for the contest winner to develop contacts and extend their performing schedule. Although the title Songs From the Heart would appear to imply that the contest is restricted to songs about love, we would like to remind writers that the heart is also home to many other emotions, and songs based on anger, nostalgia, satire, whimsy, greed, sorrow, joy, and petty fits of pique are welcome. Interested songwriters can contact the Songs From the Heart competition at 123 Walpole Ave. Toronto, ON M4L 2J4 Telephone: 416-405-8768 e-mail: pmsinc@interlog.com or babyhugh@erinbenjamin.com Application forms can also be found on-line at www.icomm.ca/~ocff - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From roch@rocon.ca Mon Apr 10 15:17:21 2000 Date: Mon Apr 10 15:17:21 2000 From: Roch Parisien roch@rocon.ca Subject: [mplpost] Lock up your radios!

On Tuesday April 11 and Tuesday April 18 at 10 p.m., Roch will be guest producer and host for "The Sixties" on CKCU-FM, 93.1 in the Ottawa area and live on the web worldwide at www.ckcufm.com. Roch haunted the CKCU airwaves for some 13 years between 1978 and 1991, producing and hosting a diverse range of specialty music programming for Canada's flagship College radio station (celebrating its 25th anniversary this year!). Some of these programs included "No Future Now" (alternative rock before "Alternative Rock" was a music category), "The Dinnerhour Special" (atmospheric/ambient before "Ambient" was a music category) and, of course, "The Sixties." For the two April programs, guesting for regular host "Handsome Dave" Sampson, Roch is profiling legendary British art-pop band The Move. Other guest spots will follow in the months to come, with planned profiles of such legendary, left-of-centre artists as Phil Ochs, The Sir Douglas Quintet, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and The Holy Modal Rounders. "Given that it's been 9 years, folks should have an entertaining evening tuning in just to catch all the technical miscues," Roch says, only partly in jest. The Real Audio Player required to tune-in to CKCU outside the Ottawa area can be downloaded from the station's web site at www.ckcufm.com. Roch also serves as Music Programmer for the Galaxie Network's Folk/Roots Channel a national audio service affiliate of the CBC.

The BLEA was founded in 1972 and it's early members were responsible for such Ottawa folk/roots institutions as "The Hoots", Acoustic Waves and the Sirens' Series. Past board members include Alex Sinclair, Chopper MacKinnon (CKCU's Canadian Spaces), Alex Houghton, Arthur MacGregor (Ottawa Folklore Centre) and other too numerous to mention here. Although it started in the folk/roots community, the new board of directors is working to become more broad in scope. Building on the success of last year's Capital Music Seminar (a two-day event held in April), the volunteer steering committee is winding its way through the maze of what amounts to creating a festival of sorts - with panellists of performers, managers, presenters, festival artistic directors, granting organisations, etc. Last year's event was organised chiefly by Chris White (AD for Ottawa F.Fest), Paul Weber (guitarist for Cheza), Michaela Foster Marsh and Wendy deMos. It featured speakers such as Alex Sinclair (Tamarack), Bernie Finklestein (True North), Lynn Miles, Ian Tamblyn, Mike Plume, SOCAN, FACTOR, Gary Cristall (Canada Council), Kim Clarke Champniss (Much Music), Heidi Fleming and far more (some of whom will no doubt flail me for leaving them out...!). We attracted over 200 delegates after only six weeks of promotion and a scant three months of organisation! >That didn't bother me too much, a little advertising can't hurt, but >the next thing I know I'm getting SPAM from some outfit called The Disc >Company whose hompage has a special link for CMC Attendees. Given the method outlined above, it is not surprising that some organisations might be sitting at their terminals for too long, going through all the links and searching out potential clients. It may be spam, but we can't really do much about it except ask our sponsors and volunteers to be respectful of the ways they use the resources we offer. We have done so. However, the company in question is not "officially" connected to us. >Perhaps these operations are legitimate but it looks like CMC is >passing on addresses that they collected without permission. We have not given or sold any email lists (or traditional lists, for that matter) to any entities. Any info garnered by such companies has been through (legitimate?) effort on the part of the researcher, whether we know and trust them or they are simply surfing for such info. I know of MANY people who have linked to Greenbank, and other similar Societies and Associations. I kinda doubt they asked for permission, and I don't see why they would either have to or want to. If I had a personal web page, I would certainly want others to get a picture of me partly by showing links to those organisations with which I would like to be associated, even if only vicariously. If, however, you have a notice specifically asking NOT to be linked without permission, then please let us know and we will be certain to do two things: 1) Remove your link and 2) Instruct our volunteers to watch carefully for such notices, and to respect them. >I'm also >not particularly keen that CMC thought it necessary to use a hotmail >account that they are not monitoring to send out it's message so that >there is no point in replying to it. We, too, are less than excited about Hotmail and its particular vagaries. However, we had several keen (and young - see today's earlier posts about getting a new generation involved) volunteers who offered to email each of our linked sites to inform them of it, and to request the same in return. We actually thought this would be seen as a rare, and welcome courtesy. Not to mention the fact that it would invite questions about CMC, like this one. The use of Hotmail, or any of our other volunteers' personal email addresses comes at some cost to our credibility, but please know that if we could afford an office staff, we would do it another way! Have you got a few hours every week to give us a hand? ;-) Actually Tony, if you had replied, you would have received a response as quickly as possible (we are working to a 36hr-or-so response time, and generally meeting it!). We had taken special care to manipulate the return address so that it would be sent to our mailto: info@capitalmusicconference.com address. We have had over 50 responses from others, so we know it's working. Try replying, as a favour to me. I am anxious to see how long it takes to get to us. (one of Hotmail's "vagaries" is its unreliabilty to deliver messages in a timely fashion.) >Am I being overly paranoid? Neither of these groups seem to be hiding >behind fake email addresses (there are other addresses in the message >from the hotmail account) but the first rule of SPAM is to not reply >and verify a good address. I think you're being careful. It's more careful than I usually am, but who am I to judge if it's TOO careful, or even paranoid? The fact that yours is the first remotely bothered message we've received isn't a real gauge of the angst we might be unwittingly bringing to others. As you know, most people delete and curse to themselves. We DO hope that most people understand our labour predicament and give the posting a chance. Some will, others won't. We are completely legitimate. If you wish, we can provide names of those involved Heck, if we had the time, we'd even put bios and photos on the site, so that others could see who makes this organisation tick! FACTOR has recognised us for a large-ish grant, and we are gaining the support and encouragement of an increasing number of people, some of whom are very well placed in the industry. We are excited to see this grow. We welcome your interest. >How do others feel about this? I have often reacted in a similar way, Tony. Sometimes a little research has changed my mind and turned me into an interested party. Other times, I view it as a ridiculous bother. In this case, I think the cart is a little before the horse. I venture to guess that had we sent our press release to Maplepost (cdnfolk, etc) first, then the receipt of a related email may have tweaked you to remembering the original post. If only we had a media/promo person in place!!! that may be solved as early as this week, since we approached the Ottawa Folk Festival's media organiser to take on some of the role. We are new. We are a little green. We are learning with almost every breath we take. We welcome all constructive input, criticism in the real sense of the word, and participation by all music-industry players. I can't help but plug our Showcase program. Applications from residents of Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec will be accepted so loong as they are postmarked April 20 or earlier.

BILL MORRISSEY, one of the greatest singer-songwriters in contemporary folk music, and a superb interpreter of the songs of Mississippi John Hurt, will join me in the studio at about 10 am to help us in our fundraising efforts.

Turn left...around a bend...over the tracks and there you are. If you go over the tracks before you make the left you've gone too far. Turn around. Make a right instead and continue to the Hall. No curry this month. Terry's taking a break and Carolyn Beaulieu is taking care of the food. We'll get started about 7:30pm with some tunes from the OFS's own Plaid Apple.

I also warned that I'd keep you up to date on the whole thing, and some of the considerations that go into these things, so those of you who might be interested would get a backstage look at a series of concerts in the making. First of all, MANY thanks to all of you for your comments about the smoking issue. Unanimously, the verdict (from about 25 of you) was for no-smoking shows. Vic Bell, in particular, shared some insights from his home-base of Calgary, and Rick Whitelaw (the one smoker who responded!) said he could manage to smoke outside if he had to .... The next point is the need for *earlier* shows, and that came up time and time again. Nobody actually suggested a list of artists, but we'll get to that in a later post; suggestions are more than welcome - folk I have in mind are Susan Werner, Karen Savoca again, Martha Wainwright (acoustic), Lucy Kaplansky, The Neilds sisters, and others; I'd like to get Laura Smith back too, if we can find enough work around these parts to cover her plane fare from Halifax! Let me know who else comes to mind! I'd like to do the shows in Ted's Wrecking Yard. Yup, it's a bit grungy, but it does attract a younger audience, which I want to develop for this kind of music.. It also has a wonderful sound system, an excellent sound guy (the chap who did the five Laura Smith shows is on the road with Bruce Cockburn right now), a big stage, and - best of all - no pillars in front of the singer! And, thanks to Laura's series, and shows with Stacey Earle and Martha Wainwright, people have figured out where it is (upstairs at 459 College Street). So, I've met with Ted (who owns the joint) and Yvonne Matsell, who books it, and we're going to do five shows, most likely each Sunday in October, but that could change depending on the availability of artists. Some other points: * The shows will be no-smoking. * The shows will start each Sunday at 7:30 p.m., doors open at 7.00, and they'll be done by 10:00. * We'll get the club for free, but Ted has promised to paint the stairway up to the room, in exchange for us paying the sound man! Next week I'll be talking to that estimable agent Jim Fleming about some of the artists I'm thinking about, then we'll figure out budgets, then we'll set prices, then we'll think about opening artists. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion so far - bright ideas, comments, and concert war stories are all welcome, off-line if you like! Thanks for reading!

CloudFest at the Tranzac in Toronto was fantastic and well attended, and hopefully will go a long ways to ensure survival of this unique venue. As an attendee, I appreciate all the work and time from the volunteers (performers, organizers and helpers). Did you know the Tranzac offers music six nights - and one midday - every week? Swing (Wednesdays) and jazz (Wednesdays, Fridays; Sunday noons) and Yeltsons / stride piano (Thursdays) evenings are not as well known as the folk music (Sundays, Tuesdays and Saturdays). All have reasonable or no cover charges. Increasing attendance, even on "no cover" evenings, will contribute to continuation of the Tranzac through sales of beverages, snacks, and their acclaimed meat pies. It's also a comfortable place to hang out and meet/make friends whenever you fell like some good music. All the rooms used in these series and the washrooms are wheelchair accessible. Tranzac is at 292 Brunswick Avenue (2 doors south of Bloor, between Spadina and Bathurst subway stations). Here's the night by night schedule: Sundays: 11:30 am - 3:30 pm (here's the midday): Sunday jazz brunch, featuring Derek's eggs bennie and music by Banwell & Davis. 8 pm: Flying Cloud, as Toronto folkies (and list subscribers) are aware - Rana Sodhi keeps up all updated on this great series. Watch for Rana's post on too-rare Toronto appearance of David Rea and Tom May on April 16 ($12/$10). No concert 23rd (Easter), but a full schedule through the end of May. Main room, nonsmoking. Tuesdays: 8 pm to closing: Open stage hosted by Norm Hacking in the Southern Cross room (front, to the right). No cover. Come earlier to sign up to perform two (maybe three) songs, or just drop in to listen. A keyboard is provided. Norm opens with a few songs, there are some very good regulars, with a different feature guest each week. tonight's feature: Sierra, singer/songwriter accompanying herself on keyboard. April 18 feature: Greg Wyard, singer/songwriter/guitarist, recently moved to Toronto from Ottawa, where he won regional level of CMW songwriting contest. (http://www.gregwyard.com) Wednesdays: 8 pm: Club Django in the Southern Cross room. Excellent jazz musicians. 7:30 pm: Swing dance lessons in the main room. Fundamentals @ 7:30 pm, moves @ 8:30 pm, practice @ 9:30 pm. $35 for 4 weeks / $30 for students or drop-in $10. Call 416 323-1300 for more info. Thursdays: 7 - 9 pm: The Yeltsins, "retro folk/rock" trio plus Kevin Bell 9 - midnight: The Sultans of Stride, stride piano duo Fridays: 6 pm onward: Dinner and jazz with Ron Davis Saturdays: 7:30 pm - close: Norm Hacking's Living Room, where invited guests perform short sets, a feature guest does a longer set and all jam together at the end - lovely evenings, no cover, Southern Cross room. April 15 feature: Steve Paul Simms, talented singer/songwriter April 22 feature: tba April 29 feature: Uncritical Mass, popular poet duo Other events are sometimes announced on this list, consider the Tranzac for your events. For info on any of the evenings, call the Tranzac at 416 923-8137. For Flying Cloud 416 410-FOLK. For dance lessons, 416 323-1300. (I don't book the Tranzac, though I do some work on Norm's behalf. I want this venue to continue.) Come check out some jazz, swing and stride as well as the folk music, and tell/bring your friends.

I love folk music and am interested in the business, and have recently joined the board of Eaglewood. My husband and I are also members of the Flying Cloud and like to attend as often as possible. Now that we have a six month old baby it's a little more challenging but we have taken him to several concerts (including Saturday's Cloudfest). We've made a commitment to expose him to as much music as possible. (BTW, for those with a utilitarian bent, music is reported to also improve a child's linguistic and mathematical abilities.) There a several things I'd like to say about this topic. We're doing this because we want music to become second nature to him. Ann Lederman said to me not too long ago that children should experience music in their bodies, i.e. really up close. We both wish we were better musicians and envy others who grew up with music in the home. So the best we can do is to take him where he can experience music up close. Everyone at the Cloud has been very kind and supportive and I do my best not to let my son be disruptive. It's clear that the demographic of the Cloud is on the grey side which is a little sad. I'd hate to see it disappear in 20 years. We have friends (in their 30s like us) who like folk music a lot but they are also very busy and/or financially strapped to attend concerts on a regular basis (even though admission prices are very reasonable). I don't know what the solution to this is. It's one thing to talk about recruiting "young people" to folk music as such but it seems to me there must be more people out there of all kinds of ages who just aren't coming out. May be if we could figure out what would draw them in, that might help. Maybe there's not much we can do about the 20 somethings but maybe we can do something for the younger crowd. We were struck by the number of people who have come up to us at concerts and have spoken about their grandchildren. I have been mulling this over since Saturday (Rana: if you're reading this, I'll be speaking to you some time soon) but have yet to come up with any really good suggestion, but I'll float this balloon here and see what you all have to say about this. How about a grandparents/grandchildren's event? Some kind of musical event that would allow them to attend together and listen to the kind of music grandparents love and that they could introduce their grandchildren to. My suspicion is that love is contagious and that if exposed to the folk music their grandparents love, their grandchildren might just take a shine to it. I'm not sure what format this could take. Maybe a separate afternoon concert? Or may be a children's session before a regular concert to introduce children to the performer, instruments, song tradition, songs etc. On the other hand maybe being in the same room as a group of appreciative adults who sing along etc. might be a good thing. Obviously, this would have to be carefully planned. Obviously not all performers would be interested in something like this but maybe some would. I have a strong suspicion that many children/teenagers don't really get to experience good (or any kind of) live music and they also tend not to play instruments as often these days. BTW, in a group of 50 high school age students I was involved with for a number of years, only 5 reported to be taking lessons of any kind. That probably means that most encounter music only through CDs and the commercial "youth culture" that is manufactured for them.

Hey Hey Folks, I just read Dace's wonderful considerations on how to fit music into a young one's life. Dace, I'm a music teacher by day, and how I wish that my students' parents would be so thoughtful! Besides the very much-discussed fact that music is an integral part of a child's linguistic, spatial and motor development, I think you are right on in seeing how music can be an important cultural and social factor in a child's life. It really can give us a sense of belonging. This is really interesting, I think, when the larger part of this discussion concerns how to get young people interested in this culture of folk music. Some of the fears expressed in this forum seem to point to a belief that youngsters aren't interested in "traditional" music. Au contraire! There are a number of bands in Toronto right now that are consistently attracting a "20something" crowd. These local musicians today are themselves only in their twenties or early 30's. They are playing bluegrass, old-time, country and folk music and getting their peers to attend these events. Sure, it's hard to compete with the dj turntable set, but it was also hard for Bill Monroe to compete with Elvis, or for that matter Don Messer with the Guess Who. Nonetheless these people are out playing different venues all through the week, working their chops and learning to play a room. And they ain't buying fancy cars with the proceeds! They are playing for the love and the thrill of it, the way folk musics have always been played. What I find sort of interesting is that when I go to see these people perform, a big part of their audience is under the age of forty ie. still pre-grey. (Okay, I'm sort of salt and pepper already, but I'm pretty sure it's stress-related) Anyways, my point here is that these young players would love to see their elders come out and see them play, as they realize that the post-forties can appreciate this music. I know that our band has a good mix of young and old fans, and that is because we've taken pains to cultivate that. We play a folk music that was always intended to bring all ages together. I guess my point is to say, hey people...relax. This music ain't gonna disappear. The venues might move around, but if you're looking to hear the music it pays to look around to see where the players are, and then go see and hear them! This being said, I'd highly recommend the following musical acts that regularly perform in the Toronto area in many different venues (ie. not only smoky bars).These are twenty-something performers who are all young and very committed to acoustic/roots/traditional music... Dottie Cormier Crazy Strings Garrison Creek Petunia Listen to Cate Friesen's show on CJRT and she will point you in the right direction, she has her finger on the pulse of what's going on. Take a look at the NOW magazine to see where these folks are playing. And don't worry! Acoustic music is here to stay. It's in good hands. We're all working on it on a daily basis and we tell all our friends and whoever else is listening...Y'all come! yours, Colonel Tom ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From billusher@sympatico.ca Wed Apr 12 10:36:47 2000 Date: Wed Apr 12 10:36:47 2000 From: Bill Usher billusher@sympatico.ca Subject: [mplpost] Young folkies - musicians and staff Hi all, there are some really good insights from Dace to chew on. From my recent past position at the OAC I had the opportunity to travel and discuss these kinds of issues with presenters all across the country. Take a look at Blue Skies festival, where it's sold out each year. One thing noticeable about Blue Skies, from the first moment you drive down the road, is that "all" the generations are extremely well represented. Teenagers are everywhere.... Gen X and Gen Y and Gen Z and yes Baby Boomers and our elders. Children start coming with their parents at an early age and they keep coming back right on through.... I have my own opinion on why but I'll let the Blue Skies people on the list speak more directly from their own experiences. That's a 'holiday' festival with a finite time frame, though. Concert series are a different matter.... so many groups are struggling with this one and many have tried different stuff. One of the better examples of getting 'younger' people out to their series came from a presenting group in the BC interior..... All the regular (read 'older') members of the volunteer group were set up at the top of the decision making hierarchy...things were done their way, both organizationally and socially. This group set up a parallel group (they didn't want to think of it as a "sub-committee" and therefore 'lesser') led by a couple of dynamic 30-somethings with little kids. These people then went out one-on-one and recruited their friends into the 30-something group. Obviously, they had more social things in common with each other than the seniors and when you're dealing with volunteer organizations, a strong motivation for joining is socially belonging to a group and the fun that comes from it! The younger group then had an opportunity to come together to influence the programming and the presentation and the marketing. A couple of seasons went by, and it wasn't long before more and more younger folks were coming along with their friends (and some children) to the concerts. They discovered great old artists that the seniors loved and had a chance to turn the seniors on to artists who were 'speaking' to them. The seniors benefited from the new energy. They gave up complete control of programming to their own tastes (or trying to guess "what do those young folks want?") but at the same time gained enjoyment from artists that they wouldn't have otherwise known to take a chance on. They also gained from passing on their 'achievement' and the joy of mentoring and 'life-long' learning. The younger folks benefited from joining into an established group that had 'history' and earned a great presence in the town. They also benefited from the mentoring and the discoveries and the inter-generational socializing, networking etc. Diversity and inclusivity are the key approaches I think. If people feel that 'it' belongs to them, then they'll nurture 'it'. for what it's worth, Bill ---------- >From: dace.veinberga@utoronto.ca >To: Vic Bell >Cc: maplepost@icomm.ca >Subject: Re: [mplpost] Young folkies - musicians and staff >Date: Wed, Apr 12, 2000, 9:04 AM > > Hello, all, > Ben's note was compelling enough to make me delurk.

Good thoughts Dace. I agree wholeheartedly with taking kids to concerts and festivals. In hindsight I realise that it is probably best to take kids anywhere they are welcome and that goes for more than just music. It is too easy to let just having the kids around become the focus. Having music around the house is maybe even more important and not just the radio and stereo. Play music, sing, have friends over to play and sing, host house concerts if you can. Get the kids thinking that this is just what people do. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have your child express surprise when she first finds out that there isn't music in every house? (I often wonder what it must have been like to grow up in the Whiteley family.)

Just a few personal points to add on this subject and living in NB, comments from a distance! I have been fortunate enough to be working, performing with another singer-songwriter Debbie Adshade, performing as the folk duo Madrigal, for awhile now. We are constantly struck by the wide range of ages attending and "listening" to our folk music and I'm sure this is a universal beauty with the folk scene. We were invited to perform in a concert series in Cape Breton last week within a wonderful community of St. Ann's, where music is life and culture! An example would be, the night of our concert when the first introduction was made for the newest member of the community, "Sophie" a two week old baby girl. Debbie and I sang and told stories in our show, through the occasional peep and squeal. Two hours later, Sophie remained the shining star of the evening. To our delight, the "gathering" moved on afterwards to one of the members' homes for a kitchen party, kids and all. I believe the power of music is the same for any message in life, if the bare roots of any one truth expressed, can be understood or just felt by the listener or artist, then age is just not important at all, voila! folk music! While I'm at this, instead of working on my pile of laundry, I expect some parents might enjoy a tale of how I introduced my 17 year old to folk music. Occasionally he has listened to some of the four cd's I've recorded, but generally he prefers the likes of NIN, the Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. (nothing wrong with these artists although I 'd need more patience to find out what they're trying to express) rather than his mothers' music. I asked one day if we could swap cd's , for some new listening material in the van. He, Elijah, suggested something I could stomach would be Tea Party ,"there's some pretty parts Mom", and a Led Zepplin, which of course I didn't need to mention I had great experiences with previously as a teenager myself. I presented him with some oldies, James Taylor and Joni Mitchell's Hejira. To the delight of my motherly cares, these two and a few more strategically placed cds have become frequently played music , out of the past ,blaring stereo. I even catch Elijah playing along with James Taylor on his guitar. And by the way, Debbie and I did our only cover ever, recording the "Battle of Evermore" by Page/Plant, thanks to a cd swap between parent and child. A wonderful, happy circle of music!

Fri.(Oakville) / Sat.(Brampton) Mapleposters, David Leask, Andrea Koziol and I have been bringing our acoustic-based sounds to high-school students via "songwriting/business of music" workshops, organized in conjunction with the Ontario Arts Council. Rather than finding ways to 'bring them to us', we went to them... For those of you in the relative vicinity of Oakville or Brampton, please drop by one of our weekend shows. (It'll be interesting to see how many students attend). All the best, Gregg Lawless Catch a "Wicked little (musical) buzz" this Friday and Saturday night as three of Canada's hottest "indie" acts appear in a rockin', festival-style concert. GREGG LAWLESS, DAVID LEASK and ANDREA KOZIOL bring their "Voices of the New Generation" concert series to centre stage on Friday night at the Oakville Centre (130 Navy St. Oakville, Box office: 905-815-2021) and on Saturday night at Brampton's Heritage Theatre (89 Main St. N., Brampton, Box office: 905-874-2800) LAWLESS, LEASK and KOZIOL will each perform solo concerts before joining forces in a dynamic finale. Since the release of his critically acclaimed debut CD, Greggorian Chance, GREGG LAWLESS has established himself as both an outstanding singer/songwriter and a riveting live performer. A focused feast of rootsy pop, his new CD, Wicked Little Buzz , showcases his trademark range of musical, lyrical and emotional depth. As an acoustic performer, Gregg has shared the stage with Holly Cole, Amanda Marshall, Ashley MacIsaac, Tom Cochrane, Susan Aglukark and many more. Deeply rooted in his Scottish lowlands heritage, DAVID LEASK's latest CD, Ancestors Eyes, weaves his experiences and insights throughout his words and melodies in a penetrating mix of adult pop and sharp-edged folk. Leask's debut disk 100 Camels garnered rave reviews and received extensive air play across Canada. Leask has perfromed alongside artists such as Melanie Doane, Amy Sky, Natalie McMaster and the Barra MacNeil's at theatres across the country. Torch folk singer and songwriter, ANDREA KOZIOL has toured across Canada in clubs and concert venues and has performed at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Toronto DuMaurier Jazz Festival and the Sound Symposium in Newfoundland. Her debut album, Coming of Age, has received much airplay across Canada and her next album Mission Bliss is slated for release in April. p.s. *if you are ordering through the box office via credit card, be sure to mention that you are calling from the "mailing list"; this will entitle you to "2 for 1" ticket prices. - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From sodhi@ecf.utoronto.ca Wed Apr 12 15:15:54 2000 Date: Wed Apr 12 15:15:54 2000 From: Rana N.S.

Tom May is from western Nebraska and currently lives near Mt. Rainier in Washington State. He has perfromed for 30 years around the world, including many major North American festivals and as a soloist with symphony orchestra accompanying his songs. He produces "River City Folk" for National Public Radio in the U.S., heard on over 200 stations each week. David Rea is from Akron Ohio and lives these days on Bainbridge Island, Wa. From his early days touring with and recording on Gordon Lightfoot's first album, he went on to play and tour with Ian and Sylvia, Judy Collins, Fairport Convention, and many others. He is known as a fine singer/songwriter as well as an exquisite guitar stylist. Tom is a true poet, warm and introspective with his rich baritone and silky fingerpicking. David is more of a rough hewn romantic, with a vital and authentic singing style and inspired picking, whether on the Delta Blues or Travis style. Together, they blend like good Irish Whiskey. The Flying Cloud meets most Sunday's at the TRANZAC Club, Sept - May. Concerts are in the Main Hall which provides a smoke-free, intimate atmosphere (smokers can always use the adjacent members lounge).

The best way I know to bring more young people into the folk scene is by example. I am a 32 year old folk singer/ fan in the Simcoe County area. My wife and I are active in several folk clubs (Don's Coffeehouse, The Orillia Folk Society, the Barrie Folk Club). I play a variety of music from sensitive singer-songwriter (SSS) to humourous covers (Arrogant worms) to children's shows. I have found that my children's repetoire is well received by any audience. Even in a bar//coffeehouse setting-- people sing and clap along to old standards such as the Cat Came Back and the Log Drivers Waltz (probably partially due to the NFB cartoons). There is a little person buried deep inside of every hardened cynic who just wants to shake their Sillys out. Case in point: at a recent Ben Sures House concert in Barrie, Ben had us on our feet doing actions to accompany a semi-serious song about the breakup of a relationship. It was the highlight of the evening. Ben is another musician who knows how children's music can be used to disarm the world-weariness of adults. Anyhow, I think I'm rambling here. One more point: my wife and I attend coffeehouses or concerts about twice weekly. She is currently expecting our first child. Although I'm sure our musical outings will be reduced, we fully expect to take our child with us everywhere we go to enjoy live music. Furthermore, we have already determined that baby loves to dance. During a recent gig, while I was singing he/she was so squirmy inside my wife's belly that she nearly had to leave the room. To make a long story short... (too late). How do we attract more young people to our folk clubs? 1) Start them when they're young (ie pre-natal). 2) Appeal to the child in everyone. Thanks again to Richard Flohil for starting an excellent discussion.

Cross posted to CDNFolk and MapleRoots. There are still a few tickets left for the April 15th concert at Greenbank. If you would like some call Rene at 905-852-7578. It promises to be another fine evening of music. For information on the Greenbank Folk Music Society and directions see visit http://www.globalserve.net/~ynot/grnbnk.htm This Saturday, April 15th. Swing Soniq SwingSoniq is front-man Greg Leskiw (vocals, guitar), Greg Lowe (lead guitar) and Daniel Koulack (upright bass); a trio of players who celebrate the favourites of yesteryear wIth their contemporary version of swing-jazz. Since their emergence on the music scene a little over a year ago, they have captivated audiences across Canada with their seductive rhythms and engaging style. SwingSoniq's contemporary approach to the depression-era and wartime music genres isn't confined only to traditional favorites. Songs such as Moon Glow, After You've Gone and Beyond the Sea are peppered with original and unique compositions that compliment the swing era genre. Leskiw's smouldering voice characterizes the band and with fellow guitarist, Greg Lowe the sound is reminiscent of the gypsy guitar player Django Reinhardt. SwingSoniq is the most recent of Leskiw's musical successes. Music fans will recognize him as a former member of The Guess Who. An award winning singer and songwriter, he has received gold albums and Juno Awards for Share the Land, So Long Bannatyne, and Rockin' and a platinum record for Best of the Guess Who (Vol. 1). Opening for Swing Soniq is Susan Latimer. From Susan's bio: "From a musical family, Susan Latimer has been playing guitar for twenty years and has been performing for the last five. Raised on diverse musical styles including Bluegrass, Blues, Irish, Classical, Jazz and Rock and Roll, she has a repertoire that draws on all of these. Many of her arrangements of original songs are as popular as her renditions of more widely known material."

Just a reminder folks, that after BILL MORRISSEY plays Ottawa, he's coming to Toronto - to the Acoustic Harvest Folk Club on Sat. Apr. 15th, 8pm, tickets at the door are $12/10 for members (students/seniors half price). At: The Birch Cliff United Church, 33 East Rd., corner of Kingston Rd. & Warden Ave. in the east end. If you've never heard Bill Morrissey before, you're in for a real treat; it was a great pleasure for me to hear him last summer at The Ottawa Folk Festival (the only other time being at a Mariposa festival many years ago). Following is some info taken from the CKCU Ottawa Folk Festival's posting: A superb songwriter and novelist, Bill Morrissey is also a stage performer with a razor-sharp wit and a poignant storytelling style. He plays a number of folk and blues styles, including a particular brand of New England blues that combines the songster tradition of Mississippi John Hurt and the Delta blues style of Robert Johnson. His music stands alone in the folk music world for its detail, clarity and literary insight. Morrissey has been a regular on the U.S. folk circuit since his debut album in 1984. His latest album, Songs of Mississippi John Hurt (his eighth) is a tribute to one of his strongest influences legendary country bluesman Mississippi John Hurt. The album was nominated this year for a Grammy award. With a warm grizzly-piped voice and quiet, sharp sense of humour, Morrissey's delivery accents the heartfelt emotions of his characters. Rolling Stone described him as "a true naturalist storyteller" with a place "in that noble lineage that reaches back to Hank Williams and Woody Guthrie ... the troubadour as truth teller, conveying wisdom with absolute economy and focused fire." A true Renaissance man, Morrissey published his first novel, Edson, in 1996 to critical acclaim. The New York Times enthused, "His songs stand out for their detail he is considered one of the best singer/songwriters working today and those strengths are apparent in his first novel." He is presently working on a second novel which is due to be released in the fall. Hope to see you at Acoustic Harvest!

There have been so many postings regarding the young and music (and I believe I've read half of them so far) that I fell encouraged to put forward my opinions about the subject. First of all, I'm a person who's involved in music full time, one way or another, and so is my spouse. We have a five-year- old daughter who has had exceptional opportunities for exposure to music and "the life". All the same, I believe that the same ideas work whether or not the parents are "professional" musicians. Also, my comments involve the "very young" as this is where my recent experience lies. Also, I'm speaking as a parent and I'm likely to drone on like a proud dad. I feel that home is a great place to start with music. People go to shows, festivals . . . whatever because they love music, and folk music by definition is music that's shared. If you have instruments in the home, let the child play with them within reason. Pianos are perfect for this, as are most percussion instruments. I sacrificed a ukelele (no great loss) to the cause and it was worth it. The ukelele was my daughter's "guitar" when she was 1-3 years old. I now have another, and it's MINE! There's no rule that says a parent and child have to share the same activity when they're together. I like to practice when my daughter is drawing or playing as she wants. Sometimes what I'm practising is boring to her and she tells me, or puts in a request! Everyone can sing, and kids learn songs so quickly and willingly. If their parents sing with them as well they get real comfortable quickly. It's amazing how many places you can take a young child to hear music. You have to make certain adjustments. Sit near the back if the child is very young, because there could be a ruckus or an "I have to pee" or even a diaper change! (very young here we're talkin'). My daughter Dana lasted through at least half a ballet at age three before she took to the aisles shouting "I HAVE to dance mommy!" At Eaglewood last summer we took turns. Mom wasn't there and I found that if we visited the playground occasionally she would deign to sit through a performance. As a player/arranger/scribbler I've had an amazing time with my daughter. For a couple of years I was involved in making music for a couple of cartoon series. She got to see them first and spent many hours in my studio watching the same scene ten, fifteen (who knows how many) times. I've never found an adult that would sit through that, and for good reason! Early on I remember her walking out on stage with Quartette, tugging on my pantleg, and asking me to take her to the bathroom. That's ok! She's been to concerts with Quartette, Cindy Church solo appearances, a few John McDermott concerts, Nancy White shows nearly since she was born, Needfire rehearsals and shows, as well as accompanying me once a week or so a couple of summers ago maintaining the "Dudley the Dragon" show at Ontario Place. Everywhere she's been the folks I've worked with have made her feel welcome. So now not only does she like music, but she loves being around the making of music. Today I took her through the orchestra pit at Lion King and she was fascinated with the number and variety of instruments. When she's a little older and if the show's still alive, she'll sit next to me during a performance. I think that a love for music, and the knowledge that anyone can make music, should occur at a very young age. In my opinion that's where the thing starts. For our family it's been quite a bit easier to expose our daughter to music of many kinds than it may be for others, but our view is only one of many really. The "professional" musician doesn't have a lock on enjoyment of music. Actually it can easily go the other way. Waxing philosophical here, I know music is a world of its own, and that those who reside in that world must always welcome others who are new to it. The young, whether tots or teenagers, might need a special welcome. We should all, as performers or listeners, give that welcome. To anyone who actually got to the end of this posting, thanks for reading it!

Sodhi sodhi@ecf.utoronto.ca Subject: [mplpost] Younger (and older) audiences at folk venues Hi, There has been an interesting discussion on youth and folk and how do we attract a youth audience to folk. There has been much good talk and concensus on exposure. This done in a positive way can, indeed , only encourage. However, there are somepoints we'd like to raise which haven't been addressed concerning present day younger audiences, and these points are equally valid to a lot of genres of music and not just "folk". Define folk (or jazz, or ...) - one person's definition of folk heaven is another's folk hell - this is irrespective of age. Do we mean singer-songwriter, traditional British folk, old time N. American, bluegrass, celtic, "roots" etc etc. Looking at this brief list (and observing audiences at the Cloud) it is clear that one person's heaven will be another person's hell, and we'll get a different audience - age has nothing to do with it per se. In all music there are going to be generational differences. Haight-Ashbury will have no meaning to a kid brought up with late 70s punk, early 80s techno, 90s rap ... "Folk" over this same period (and actually much longer) would easily have similar generational differences. This can also include the different political/economic climates which may have been present at different times. A younger generation may find it hard to relate to older generation's concern and vica versa. Many of the "revival" periods have been generated and spearheaded by youth. As we all grow older a new generation will spearhead a new revival. Much of this will eventially lead also to an appreciation of the history and development of the music. Thus, I would expect to see different ages represented at different concerts. However we've witnessed concerts were you get a good cross-section - artists such as Stephen Fearing, James Keelaghan, Garnet Rogers have usually attracted representatives of the "younger" age. Eliza Carthy in all her various groups certainly attracts a younger crowd as well as the older folkies. As some one has already mentioned groups like Garrison Creek, Heartbreak Hill, Dot Cormier (visit the Silver dollar for instance) in Toronto have a good young crowd attending. We could start adding Swamperella, Maza Meze, Doula, numerous Irish bands and so forth. (And we're sure all other centres will have their own examples as well). The young crowd will be there, they may pick up on what "we" like or they may define the "folk" they like. One may be tempted to redefine the original question to ask what can the young folkies do to bring us old fogies out? Exposure in both directions is the key to a healthy folk community, variety at the clubs will always help.

He has the all-too-rare ability to reach inside and body forth lyrics that are from the heart and real. The true heritage of folk music - alive not archival.” Geoffrey Hays, Toronto.Com - - - - - - - - - - "Harrison has scored another winner." Arthur Wood, Folk Roots, UK - - - - - - - - - - "Canadian singer songwriters, from the famous ones like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot to the more obscures like David Wiffen, Colin Linden and Stephen Fearing, are highly individual voices in the folk field. In many cases they have been pioneers and teachers to many Americans and English acts. Tim Harrison is in line with all the names mentioned above. His music is very poetic, and probably like nothing you've heard before. It's not that you can't feel influences...but there is no way to say that he is pupil of someone. His music verges on the Irish scene, without any hint of new age music. His words are highly philosophical and many of them give a feeling of loss, as well as longing...Harrison sings the magic in his poetry." Moshe Benarroche, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange, U.S. - - - - - - - - - - Tim is a true folkie with enough power to top the charts time after time...The man has developed a definitive tone of his own. The whole Harrison package suggests a writer who's mature, yet doesn't jade the world with depressing concepts that often flood music of this genre. He writes using a unique blend of traditional and contemporary folk with a country base and a pervasive essence of spiritual/Celtic moods. His guitar charges on with powerful rhythms, some smokin' country leads and countless other melodic incantations... Tim is essentially the Bob Dylan I always wanted to hear. The words all plead with powerful desperation and make you a true believer. His desperate vocal quality has a way of reaching through your chest, gripping your heart and forcing you to remember Shakespeare's words, "To thine ownself be true." ... One thing that distinguishes the quality of a songwriter is whether or not it is full enough to hear it a different way each time it spins. Well, rest assured, you'll find no shortage on the menu here. Tim's included a vast number of instruments, and each song has just the right mix for the mood. The spectrum of sounds includes emotional fiddle and pennywhistle lines, country twangin' dobro, an occasional soulful saxophone, and more.

H. Parsons has been appointed the Music Officer at the Ontario Arts Council (OAC). He will leave his current position as Ontario Regional Director of the Canadian Music Centre to head up one of the largest of the granting sectors at OAC, working with the more than 500 musicians, composers and organizations that apply for funding each year. "We are all very pleased to have David join us," said Donna Scott, O.C., CEO. "We believe he will make an outstanding contribution to OAC and to music in Ontario." Originally trained as a flautist and composer, David has spent the latter part of his career in arts administration. During the almost ten years at the Canadian Music Centre he has worked closely with composers, musicians, professional and community orchestras, choirs, new music presenters, and many others in Ontario's diverse music community. He has a particular interest in arts education having been instrumental in fostering educational outreach initiatives such as Creating Music in the Classroom, Cheapseats, Composers in Electronic Residence and Composers Companions at the Canadian Music Centre. Prior to joining the Canadian Music Centre, David was an administrative consultant for MythMakers, a Toronto arts management and consulting firm. David will start on May 8. He succeeds John Brotman, who is now OAC's Director of Arts Programs. - 30 - For more information, please contact: Kirsten Gunter, OAC Communications (416) 969-7403 or toll free in Ontario at 1-800-387-0058 ext.7403 email kgunter@arts.on.ca -regards, derek andrews ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ toronto blues society - http://www.torontobluessociety.com ontario council of folk festivals - http://icomm.ca/ocff folk alliance - http://www.folk.org harbourfront centre - http://www.harbourfront.on.ca workday email: mailto:derek@harbourfront.on.ca ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ note as of feb.26/2000: NEW HARBOURFRONT CENTRE MAILING ADDRESS: 235 Queens Quay West Toronto, ON M5J 2G3 - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From guitarbabe@usa.net Thu Apr 13 23:56:15 2000 Date: Thu Apr 13 23:56:15 2000 From: GuitarBabe guitarbabe@usa.net Subject: [mplpost] Re: (ethnic ..was'Younger (and older) audiences at folk venues) hi there, i think the one major element missing at the folk fests is local ethnic groups......it's nice to have music from other countries but what i am referring to is Toronto based italian, french or other various diversity... there are quite a few artists that play what i would term ethnic-folk that are toronto born/bread...at the moment, what is termed as 'folk' music appears to be limited to a particular class, gender,...and while this is great material, it doesn't hurt to expand....for example, Mary Black is a fantastic singer-songwriter (although i've not had the pleasure of seeing her play live)...but so is Lillian Allen (who i haven't seen live for some time now).... it would also be progressive to include talented performers with diverse abilities (often left out due to nonaccessible sites)... that's my .02 for the day LEE "Rana N.S.

Billy does say the F word a lot, but for my money he's funnier than Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and Jay Leno put together, and I've had the privilege of working with all of 'em! If you live in Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa, London, Hamilton or Toronto, you MUST buy a ticket NOW (these are all gonna sell out), and be prepared for the funniest one-man show in the world. The Scots already know he's coming (they have jungle drums that tell them the news!), but there's room for you if you hurry! Here are the details, with box office ticket numbers: May 11/12 Centennial Hall, London 519 672-1968 (on sale now) May 14 Hamilton Place, Hamilton 905 546-3050 (on sale now) May 16/17 Centrepointe Theatre, Ottawa 613 727-6659 (on sale now) May 19 Jubilee Theatre, Edmonton 780 461-8000 (on sale April 20) May 20 Queen Elizabeth, Vancouver 604 280-4444 (on sale April 20) May 21 Royal Theatre, Victoria 250 386-6121 (on sale April 20) May 22 Jack Singer Hall, Calgary 403 777-0000 (on sale April 20) May 25/26 Massey Hall, Toronto 416 872-4255 (on sale April 22) Cheers, Richard PS: Of course, I'd better declare my interest and tell you that my office is doing the publicity for this tour!

I think it's worth noting that Jory Nash made it into my "record" list in March. Jory's March total of 78 plays is the second highest for a Canadian act since I began keeping monthly track in March '96.

April 19 Doug Norquay The Oasis 294 College St., Toronto, ON Wednesday, April 19 The act originally scheduled to play the Oasis this Wednesday, April 19th has had to cancel. On short notice, the Oasis is very happy to has arranged for Doug Norquay to fill in. Doug Norquay was born and grew up in Windsor, Ontario. In 1980, he moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where he developed a reputation as one of the most innovative slide guitar players in Western Canada. For thirteen years he gigged around Western Canada, performing solo and with bands such as the Wilma Grueman Blues Band, Spook and the Boogiemen, the Recession Band, the Hot Tamales, the Alley Gaters, and Tom Spike and the Frustrations. In 1993, Doug moved back to Ontario. Norquay draws his musical influences from a number of sources. His guitar playing reveals traces of Fred MacDowell, Howlin' Wolf and Elmore James and his lyrics are firmly rooted in blues story-telling tradition but the dark vignettes that he sketches with his lyrics owe more to the poetic sensibility of Tom Waits or Bob Dylan. Doug Norquay has perhaps the most unassuming stage presence of any performer working today, but his quiet and shy demeanour vanishes when he rips into one of his fiery songs. Passion, intensity and integrity are the hallmarks of any Doug Norquay performance. Doug released his latest recording, Poisonous Road Snakes in the fall of 1999. Previous recordings include two independent releases, the self-titled "Doug Norquay" and the 1992 release, "Cadillac Shoes". Coming Up: Wed. Apr 26 Kurt Swinghammer Fri. Apr 28 Ron Hynes Wed.

(Kurt is responsible for the murals in the Oasis’ back room.) Although he appears on countless recordings, his own musical output hasn’t reflected his prodigious talent. And then, in 1999, Swinghammer released two recordings: "Vostok Six", taking it's title from the Soviet space mission that launched cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova to fame as the first woman in outer space, and "Remote", a collaboration with Ani DiFranco’s former drummer Andy Stochansky. Based in Toronto, Kurt has composed for film and television in addition to performing his songs in concert and on record. Additionally, he has contributed his producing, arranging, writing and guitar playing talents to a growing number of recordings artists such as Tory Cassis, Sarah Slean, Rennan, and Mia Sheard. Peggy Baker, celebrated choreographer, solo dancer and instructor at the National Ballet of Canada, created a solo dance set to the final track of Vostok 6 to be presented at the Premiere Dance Theatre in November, 1999. Kurt’s band for this Oasis show will be comprised of Drew Bersten - bass, Creighton Doane - drums, Mia Sheard and Jennifer Moore - vocals, and Sarah McElcheran - trumpet. Upcoming Fri.

From the New York Times (December 9, 1999): "In the '70s Talley was one of the most eloquent spokesmen for the working man, rural life and the indomitable human spirit, recording one strong album after another for Capitol Records. Fans placed him in the lineage of Jimmie Rodgers, Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan... 'Woody Guthrie and Songs of My Oklahoma Home' is as timeless as his best work and hasn't suffered by the delay. Arranged simply and delivered perfectly in an incisive sing-song storytelling style, the 20 songs on the album not only stand up to the originals but also complete them, compensating for the recording deficiencies that make many of Guthrie's recordings hard to take in large doses." -- Neil Strauss Before, and after, the conversation with James, there's lots of other great music.

Through a new technological interface, local arts councils and multi-disciplinary arts organizations from Timmins to Windsor, Kenora to Cornwall, will be better able to connect to each other and their publics to increase their effectiveness and contribution to their communities. The technology based project will; connect organizations to each other and their publics, provide resources to strengthen the management and volunteer capacity of individual arts organizations and improve the opportunity for communications and dialogue across community arts organizations. ìWe know the biggest need for community arts organizations is to be better able to communicate with each other and share ideas and information,î said Community Arts Ontario President Patti Beckett. ìThis new initiative will allow our members to work more cooperatively with each other through more efficient, less expensive means.î Enhancing technological interconnectedness is a key priority in CAOís strategic plan, a central theme at the upcoming conference in North Bay. ìFor Community Arts Ontario members in more distant corners of the province, this project promises a wealth of new opportunities and resourcesî said North Bay CAO Board member Frank Wheeler. ìThe challenge of distance and cost will be greatly reduced thanks to this project.î Funding for this project is provided by the Government of Ontario - Volunteer @ction.online Program. Community Arts Ontarioís project is being designed and developed in partnership with Culture Connection and The Advocacy Group. Culture Connection creates technology-based solutions for Ontarioís arts and cultural organizations. The Advocacy Group, publisher of The Arts Advocate, is among Ontarioís leading public affairs consultants to the cultural sector.

Both series are at the Tranzac Club in Toronto, 292 Brunswick Avenue in the Southern Cross room (front room on the right) Upcoming features include an Aussie songwriter on Anzac day, groove-along original music, poetry and much more. Both evenings are "no cover", but the club receives needed financial support from beverage and meat pie sales. "Norm's Living Room" on every Saturday evening features Norm and musical friends who are invited to perform a few songs and join in a closing set. There is also a spotlighted performer with an extended set each week. Upcoming are: April 22: Larry Nusbaum, who plays guitar and hand drum percussion and whose music has been described as "earthy blues" and "primal groove". Regulars know you can't help but join in the groove when Larry is playing. He brings a sense of spiritually to his music. April 29: Uncritical Mass, female poetry duo, who were hugely popular at their last feature appearance with Norm, with their ever-changing slants and subjects and spoken word rhythm. If you think poetry is boring, these two are sure to change your mind. May 6: Don Bray, Michael Laderoute and Glen Hornblast - a trio of special guests. Don joins Glen and Michael, who are very popular regulars, both very talented and confident performers. Norm has referred to Michael as "one of the finest singer-songwriters on the planet." The Tuesday open stage also has a feature artist each week. To drop by and perform a couple of songs, come early (around 8pm) to sign up, or risk performing after midnight - this is a popular and talent-laden open stage. The feature artists, with longer sets: April 25: Dennis Kadmon of Melbourne Australia. What more appropriate for Anzac Day than a very talented Aussie songwriter in an Aussie/Kiwi club? Everyone lucky enough to hear his two open stage songs this past Tuesday was wowwed by his insightful songs on Aboriginal views of birth and mother earth, both accompanied by a didgeridoo player (sorry didn't get his name). Dennis will be playing an Anzac event is another room and generously agreed to be the open stage feature for Norm in the Southern Cross room. May 2: Ruth Jenkins has a wide range of guitar styles from Sonny Terry and Brownie Maghee to bluegrassy and slide, with some original songs thrown in - softspoken, but her exciting vocals complement solid guitar stylings. Don't forget Yeltsins and stride piano double header on Thursdays, jazz on Fridays evenings and at Sunday brunch, and Club Django and swing on Wednesdays. Flying Cloud is taking an Easter break, but has a wonderful line-up through the end of May (not all on Sundays). Come out and enjoy some terrific music in a friendly and wheelchair-accessible environment.

In Shirley's post of upcoming musicians at Norm's Living room, she mentioned that Don Bray is performing with Michael Laderoute and Glen Hornblast on MAY 6, at the Tranzac Club in Toronto. I thought I would take this time to sing the praises of my friend and fine singer-songwriter, Don Bray. Don lives in Barrie, and works in Toronto. His debut album, Decisions, released in 1998, is a bluesey folk treasure which is always near my cd player. His website is at http://www.bconnex.net/~donbray/INDEX.HTM Last weekend I was at a Don Bray concert at Don's Coffeehouse in Hillsdale. I wrote a review of that show for the Don's Coffeehouse and Orillia Folk Society Newsletters. It follows below. Bray Bash Banishes Birthday Blues On April 16, nineteen fift--- (NEVERMIND!!) a unique individual came harmonizing and dancing into this world. On the occasion of her fort—(NO YOU DON’T) birthday, about 40 of Jennifer Ives’ friends gathered at Don’s Coffeehouse to celebrate this auspicious occasion. Music for this celebration was provided by our very own Don Bray. Don began the evening by thanking Don’s Coffeehouse for providing him a venue when he was just returning to performing after a decade long hiatus. Don began the evening with a new composition, a rollicking anthem for stalkers everywhere, entitled I believe in Heaven. As the evening unfolded, Don unleashed a set of old favorites from his album, and new songs which are sure to be destined for the next one (hint, hint). As usual Don’s vocals and guitar playing were extraordinary, but he shines in his lyrics. The Don’s Coffeehouse Knackered-table choir harmonized to Rolling Him on Home. From the far corner of the room, Paul Court broke into the bagpipe solo at the end of the song on his penny whistle. There was truly Magic in the air. Next, Don invited the Birthday girl up to accompany him on Don’t, which he described as, " … another song about keeping on keeping on.". Don’s songs are populated by real people, with real hopes, dreams and disappointments. There’s Dorothy, the proverbial stripper with a heart of gold, for whom nothing ever goes right, but who ends up getting her reward. here are songs which relate the immense rewards of love if one will only risk it Real Big Man), and odes to the unfortunate who have loved and lost (It’s Amazing what a Suitcase Holds). Mama Ain’t Too Happy That I’m Gone, All That We Can Take, and Decisions explore the painful and peaceful decision to leave or stay. Regardless of all the hurts and heartache life throws at them, the protagonists of Don’s songworld continue to dream, continue to work, continue to love, continue to lose, but most of all they continue to hope. This unstoppable triumph of the human spirit is an underlying theme of Don’s work. The evening continued with a mix of old Don Bray favorites, and new material in which Don pleased the crowd with blistering guitar work, sweet vocals, and beautiful melodies. It was here at Don’s Coffeehouse, that Don made the decision to pursue his muse, and we are real glad he did. His musical journey is beginning to take him farther and farther from home. He has been a featured performer at folk clubs and house concerts throughout Ontario and Quebec. He has won the OCFF Songs from the Heart Competition, and The Great American Songwriting Competition. This summer he is scheduled to play at a number of Festivals in Oakville, Dryden, and Mariposa in Orillia. He is awaiting a response to his application for the Kerrville Songwriter’s Festival in Texas. No matter how far he travels, Don Bray will always have a home at Don’s Coffeehouse. ¨ Sean McGaughey ___________________________________________________________________ To get your own FREE ZDNet Onebox - FREE voicemail, email, and fax, all in one place - sign up today at http://www.zdnetonebox.com - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From gormorse@sentex.net Fri Apr 21 09:51:39 2000 Date: Fri Apr 21 09:51:39 2000 From: James Gordon gormorse@sentex.net Subject: [mplpost] GIGS:ON James Gordon Hi folks: coming up: April 28th- I'll be in Stratford On.

Not my daughters, but half a dozen of my songs. They're being used in a show called "Mama Mia! Me a Mama?" at the Varscona Theatre (10329- 83rd Ave. in Strathcona), May 4-20. The show is written by actor-writer Cathleen Rootsaert, known to CBC radio listeners for her work with Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. She stars in it along with Leona Brausen and Caroline Livingstone. Paul Morgan Donald is musical director/accompanist, and Andrea Rabinovitch directs. They're using several songs from "Momnipotent:Songs for Weary Parents" (including "Daughters of Feminists" and "I'm Babbling", which I had to update for them -- a gruesome job which I'd be happy to tell you about endlessly at some point) and a newer song called "My God, My Mom", which I wrote for my own daughters to sing at a Mother's Day benefit last spring. I decided to cash in my air miles and my daughter Maddy and I are flying out for the opening, March 4, my brother Jim's birthday,actually. Tickets to "Mama Mia..." are $10 and $12.

It's Cohen 2000, a conference in Montreal devoted to the oevre of Leonard Cohen. May 12-14 at McGill. It's being organized by Bill VanDyk of Kitchener, and is attracting delegates from all over the world. I'm doing a concert there the evening of May 12 at Moyse Hall with Bob Johnston. I'll be doing some Leonard songs, some songs about Leonard (including my favourite, "Leonard Cohen's Day Job", by the Texas Lounge Lizards), and songs of mine that I can somehow connect with Leonard ("He Wrote Too Many Songs About His Girlfriend", for instance!). After that they're showing a movie called "Leonard Light My Cigarette". There will be panel discussions, a poetry jam, a guided tour of Leonard Cohen's Montreal (don't go there,girlfriend!), and much schmoozing. Leonard's manager is bringing a tape of three of his new songs for us to hear. Everyone wants to know if the man himself will be there. Last I heard was that he had been invited but had neither accepted nor declined. The conference fee is just $100, and you can get a room at McGill for $38, and some nearby hotels are offering special rates. All, or at least much, is revealed on the website: www.Cohen2000.com. You can also check out the excellent and very deep Leonard Cohen website out of Finland: www.leonardcohenfiles.com. There, in a section called theBlack Pages, Mr.Cohen deposits many of his new poems. I particularly like this short one: MT.BALDY MONKS After listening to Mozart we go around with pianos strapped to our backs. So shall I be seeing you in Montreal? Sure hope so. Nancy W.

The concert, on May 6th, is the 4th annual one, and the successful efforts to date have provided the funding see a beautiful garden built this year to provide solace for Cancer Patients at the Deaconess-Waltham Hospital. Featured Canadians will be Ian Tamblyn (who accompanied Beth Ferguson last year), Rick Fines (a perennial performer), Cindy Thompson, and Marion Linton. Among the featured statesiders will be the trio of Cindy Kallet, Ellen Epstein, and Michael Cicone, and fiddler/guitarist extraordinaire Matt Leavenworth.

Gregg Lawless Sat. April 29th Capitol Theatre Port Hope, ON 8 p.m. tix/info: 1-800-434-5092 For assorted hype, read on... "With decent airplay this could be a huge success. It certainly deserves to be". RPM Chart Weekly "... wonderful stuff ... great range ... love the voice, love the lyrics ... a great talent". CBC Stereo "... exceptional songwriting skills ... a more than generous helping of melodious, hook-laden compositions ... one hell of an album!" Rock 'n' Reel, UK The "Wicked little buzz" about Gregg Lawless Gregg Lawless just may be the best singer/songwriter you've 'never' heard. Maybe it's because he has made unconventional career choices. For one thing, his musical tours have taken him far from the bright lights of the big city to rural Ireland and remote regions of Africa. Maybe it's because he has spent the past 5 summers not playing music festivals, but running songwriting workshops as musical director for Camp Trillium, a camp for children and families affected by childhood cancer. Maybe it's because he's self-managed, self-promoted, self-booked, self-produced and self-distributed. Whatever it is, audiences and critics alike love it. The people who hear Gregg hire Gregg. He has gone from playing small bars and coffee houses to playing some of Canada's biggest theatres and concert houses. Reviewers have celebrated his diverse songwriting, drawing comparisons with James Taylor, Elvis Costello, Crowded House and Tom Petty. Audiences describe his live performances as "riveting," "charismatic" and "absolutely stunning." Gregg's debut CD, "Greggorian Chance", without the benefit of major label distribution or masses of hype, has sold thousands of copies. The disc has also enjoyed extensive airplay across Canada on CBC, commercial and college radio, as well as in the U.S., the U.K., the U.S.S.R., Norway, Argentina and South Africa. With his new CD, "Wicked Little Buzz", Gregg Lawless breaks the mould again. Showcasing his trademark range of musical, lyrical and emotional depth, "Wicked Little Buzz" is a focused feast of rootsy pop played by outstanding musicians, with Gregg's soulful vocals front and centre. From witty wordplay to sober reflections on the experiences of life and love, "Wicked Little Buzz" is an affirmation of Gregg's continued growth as a songwriter. In his own words: "Travelling throughout rural Ireland and Africa - not to mention spending months at Camp Trillium - gave me the distance and clarity that I needed to write songs that were both uncomfortably honest and original in their perspective." Gregg Lawless just may be the best singer/songwriter you've 'never' heard. But that's about to change. Catch the buzz: "Wicked Little Buzz". - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From ckutfolk@montrealonline.com Tue Apr 25 07:17:34 2000 Date: Tue Apr 25 07:17:34 2000 From: Mike Regenstreif ckutfolk@montrealonline.com Subject: [mplpost] Thursday on Folk Roots/Folk Branches: Tony Babinski Folk Roots/Folk Branches with Mike Regenstreif Thursdays, 9-11:30 am (EDT) CKUT (90.3 FM) in Montreal !!!!Hear Folk Roots/Folk Branches in real time via RealAudio!!!! http://pages.montrealonline.com/ckutfolk Thursday April 27, 2000 My guest this week is Tony Babinski, a film maker and composer from Montreal.

The Acoustic Harvest Folk Club presents: TOM LEWIS Date: Sat. May 6/00 Time: 8pm, doors open 7:30pm Place: Birch Cliff United Church, 33 East Rd. at the corner of Kingston Rd. & Warden Ave. in east end Toronto Admission at the door: $12/10 members (students & seniors half price) Info: 416-264-2235 ****************************************************** Acoustic Harvest is pleased to bring you that former submariner, Tom Lewis, who has carved out a niche in the increasingly competitive world of folk music. Tom is a 25 year veteran of Her Majesty's Royal Navy, although now he's comfortably located on dry land in British Columbia. Since leaving the Navy, Tom has garnered much acclaim and a steadily growing following as a raconteur of nautical lore, both in story and songs. His many appearances in concert halls, folk clubs, and festivals across North America, in Europe and a recent tour of Australia, continue to win him new friends and fans. Tom has four albums to his credit, in addition to a collaboration with William Pint and Felicia Dale. His latest release, Mixed Cargo, on the Borealis label, continues to demonstrate his love of songs about the seven seas, but also shows his concern for social issues as he sings about miners' strikes, picket lines and the barricades of Belfast. And he even includes a big hit from the Sixties. If you like songs and stories of the sea, new and old, you are sure to love tom's works and his singing. There are songs which are stark in their simplicity and songs which are boisterous (complimented by Tom's big, booming voice), uplifting and harmonious. Many are traditional, others written by Tom and other contemporary writers. For an enjoyable evening full of wonderful choruses, great singing and hilarious and ribald stories, you must put this concert on your list of 'must sees'... Cheers, Lillian, Sue, Dave & Matthew; Lydia & Jason (sound crew). ----------------------------------------------------------- Lillian Wauthier: Acoustic Harvest Folk Club Fiddles and Frets Music Borealis Recording Company Mariposa Folk Foundation Music On The Move Email: lillianw@interlog.com Telephone: 416-264-2235/Fax: 264-2168 "You must ensure, no matter the cost, that the legacy of these great ships is not lost." - John Prince ----------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From sodhi@ecf.utoronto.ca Tue Apr 25 09:06:31 2000 Date: Tue Apr 25 09:06:31 2000 From: Rana N.S.

A founder of the seminal group Pentangle, Renbourn's music fuses British and Celtic folk with blues, jazz, British early music, classic guitar and Eastern styles. As a teenager, Renbourn played folk and blues guitar in his hometown of Torquay before studying classical guitar at the George Abbot School in Guildford. In 1964 a twenty-year-old Renbourn moved to London to break into the Soho folk circuit and to record solo albums for Transatlantic Records. There he met many other musicians, including Paul Simon, Davey Graham and most importantly, Bert Jansch, a guitar player whom Renbourn greatly admired. In 1967, they, along with singer Jacqui McShee and bassist Danny Thompson, formed the seminal British folk-rock ensemble Pentangle, which existed until 1978. Pentangle's pioneering combination of traditional folk melodies with jazz improvisations created an influence that continues to inspire musicians around the world. John continued as a soloist, recording memorable albums like The Hermit and The Black Balloon, before forming the John Renbourn Group, which integrated Indian tabla with guitar and jazz reeds. A subsequent partnership with Stefan Grossman yielded several albums and world tours. Ship of Fools, a return to the ensemble format, explored John's interest in Celtic music, as does his latest recording Wheel of Fortune, with Scottish harper and storyteller Robin Williamson. Both Wheel of Fortune and the John Renbourn Group's Live in America were nominated for Grammy Awards. A John Renbourn concert takes the listener into a rich musical landscape of warm vocals and witty asides about the history of the songs. At the core is a revolutionary guitar style that explores the instrument's potential in unusual and beautiful ways, created and performed by a consummate master.

Penny was in St. John's, Newfoundland when she realized things were not quite as they should be. She spent several days in hospital and is now back home. Penny wishes to convey her appreciation for the wonderful care she received in St. John's. Anyone who knows Penny will understand how difficult it is for her to have to slow down. Since the release of her sixth and, arguably, strongest recording, Somebody Else; Penny Lang has been enjoying terrific critical and public acclaim. She was preparing for a long tour across Canada and Europe - those dates will now be rescheduled for later this year. Penny Lang has an indomitable spirit and joy of life, and those around her will have their hands full keeping her quiet! Undoubtedly, one of the positive aspects to this is that Penny's second grandchild, Megan is due in a couple of weeks and will be able to spend time with her grandmother.

For anyone thinking of transitioning from Interlog to another provider, you may want to approach this as a staged move if you have a lot of correspondents who know your Interlog website and email address. When you move to another ISP, switch your Interlog account to Bronze if it isn't already. (This is their cheapest plan.) Move your website first, leaving a few redirect pages on your old Interlog site that point folks to the new site. Don't redirect automatically. Instead use the redirect page to explain that your site has moved and suggest to folks that they update their bookmarks. Put a standard link on the redirect page that points to your new site and make the URL visible, e.g. www.NorthernJourney.com For email, find out how to telnet directly into your account (check the Interlog website or, god help you, give them a call) and create a .forward file to forward your Interlog email to your new account. Notice the period (.) in front of the word "forward". To avoid having to learn a Unix text editor, type the following at the command-line prompt when you get logged in (the "njo" is my Interlog account name): shell1-njo {1} echo "mynewname@mynew.isp.com" > .forward Press Return or Enter at the end of the previous line. In my particular case this would look like: shell1-njo {2} echo "gwilburn@home.com" > .forward Type "exit" plus Return to log out and all your Interlog mail will now be forwarded to your new account. When you feel enough time has passed and you've been able to communicate your new email address to most of your correspondents, you can pull the plug on your Interlog account (and for six months you'll still be getting your email forwarded). If you don't need the extended transition period, you can do the above just prior to pulling the plug on Interlog and still get some overlap time. Don't forget that you'll need to unsubscribe from any mailing lists (such as Maplepost) from your Interlog email account and resubscribe under your new email address in order to post messages. See Maplepost unsubscribe instructions at the end of this message. To resubscribe to Maplepost , send a message from your new account: To: majordomo@icomm.ca and in the first line of body text write subscribe maplepost --------------------------------------------- Note: I'm not a support person for cdnfolk-l (I can't help you out if things don't work there) but I'll provide basic instructions for that list too since many folks here are cross-subscribed: To unsubscribe from cdnfolk-l send an email from your Interlog account: To: majordomo@ican.net In the first line of body text write: unsubscribe cdnfolk-l To subscribe from your new account, do the same thing but change the wording to "subscribe" ------------------------------------------------ Hope that helps.

I went last year (when Canadians Rick Fines, Suzie Vinnick, Bill Bourne, Beth Ferguson, Ian Tamblyn and Chris White were featured) and it was an amazing concert. It was a treat to hear many fine American performers as well and I'm greatly looking forward to attending (and helping out if I can) again this year. Terry is to be commended for his love and dedication in bringing this project to fruition and for his respect and admiration for our fine Canadian talent; he goes out of his way to make every detail of their visit a pleasurable and meaningful venture and a financially successful one as well, as he makes every effort to provide them with paying gigs for the better part of a week. I hope that sometime we can endeavour to bring some of those good Am. musicians up here to perform for us - LAW _____________________________________ If you're planning on being in the Boston, MA, USA area the first week in May, there is a benefit concert that will feature both Canadian and U.S. performers. The concert, on May 6th, is the 4th annual one, and the successful efforts to date have provided the funding see a beautiful garden built this year to provide solace for Cancer Patients at the Deaconess-Waltham Hospital. Featured Canadians will be Ian Tamblyn (who accompanied Beth Ferguson last year), Rick Fines (a perennial performer), Cindy Thompson, and Marion Linton. Among the featured statesiders will be the trio of Cindy Kallet, Ellen Epstein, and Michael Cicone, and fiddler/guitarist extraordinaire Matt Leavenworth. The musicians have heartwarmingly embraced the project, adding a wonderful feel to the exceptional talent they bring on stage. For a more complete itinerary of the May 6th event and surrounding opportunities to hear some of my favorite performers, you can link up to http://www.teagan.com and click away.

It's true that a personal ISP account doesn't allow server side scripting and so on. But it is possible to have a subdomain URL, like www.rickwhitelaw.com or www.steelrail.ca, point at your personal web page (and get e-mail as well). Many ISPs don't offer this, presumably because they want to bundle the domain name services with other services (like serverside scripting, extra space etc.). So you may have to go to someone other than Symapatico to get the name forwarding services (you could still use Sympatico as your ISP, and have a name forwarding service point at your personal web page, i.e. www.yourname.com would be redirected to www.sympatico.ca/yourname ). There are some down side aspects to this scheme. For one thing, you have to take all the responsibility to register your site with search engines and so forth. And you may outgrow your space or permitted transfers etc. But it can be a cost-effective way to get going on the web, without having to change your URL (web address) later on. Unless I'm missing something, I'm not sure that Gene's advice about web site forwarding applies in Rick's case, since he will be using the same URL once he moves his web site (i.e. folks will still be accessing www.rickwhitelaw.com). But for sure if your URL is changing (or if you had a web page under a different URL at some time in the past), then you must do what Gene suggests. We're still counting on our old web page at www.valleygrass.ca to redirect folks to our new web site. By the way, congratulations Rick on your new CD and web site (I've been a fan for a long time), and thanks to Gene for the great Northern Journey web site.

If you already have a way of accessing the Net, either through a dialup or high-speed access, but don't have enough space for your site, or enough facilities for CGI, etc, you could consider vex.net which bills itself as the "Unfriendly ISP" (tongue in cheek). It's an ISP that doesn't provide dialup access, but does provide good facilities. It's a techie-oriented ISP. You can read more at: http://www.vex.net/individual.py Anyone else on the list have some suggestions of good local ISP's in the GTA?

If you gave Bruce Cockburn a nice warm meal and a comfy bed to sleep in for a few weeks, he might start sounding like Sam Baardman" quips the Winnipeg Sun. 'Lush', 'cool', 'pure' and 'strong' are some of the adjectives that come to mind when you listen to this Winnipeg SingerSongwriter. Dirty Linen compares him favourably to Ellis Paul and Pierce Pettis, while the Winnipeg Free Press calls him "one of the city's strongest and most literate songwriters." His first album, Kicking Stone Home, has received critical acclaim for songs that are original and unique, yet somehow familiar, making a beeline for your heart. what people are saying about sam: A virtually unheralded Winnipeg troubadour, Baardman has emerged as one of the city's strongest and most literate songwriters. . . . Baardman's world is all about contrasts and realizations. The singersongwriter speaks to the human condition, to the age old quest for happiness and fulfilment in a world so confusing that one can rarely know one's own mind. This album deserves a listen.  John Lyons, Music Critic, Winnipeg Free Press Baardman is writing about the human experience, its home. His songs have a remarkable clarity to them, like the true, simple ring of a tuning fork.  Mitch Podoluk, Artistic Director, The World Next Door Festival, Founder of the Winnipeg Folk Festival This album is so good I had to call Sam at home to tell him. I'm giving it a lot of airplay on the drive home show.  Barry Mercer, CBC Radio Host, Points North, Sudbury, Ontario Sam Baardman is a powerful new voice in Canadian music. . . intensely poetic . . . dramatic and original. I highly recommend you listen to this rising star!

I feel a bit strange to delurk when the first thing I'm writing about for a long time is not a music question, but it is fundamental to the way we communicate... I had renewed my account with interlog early in April somewhat recklessly but I didn't really want to deal with changing to a new isp. Then a couple of days ago I got another one of their seemingly random bills. I phoned them yesterday and they have no record of my last payment... The phone numbers keep changing, there are constant mail and other problems and everybody else I've talked to about interlog is annoyed. I happened to be talking to a computer company helpline the other day - the rep was a former interlog employee who told me that all the interlog staff were fired when PSI took over. By the way, there is a Basic plan similar to the old interlog bronze. So - we're probably out of there too. Any recommendations? Is the sympatico thing lots of money??? Charlie Roby still playing guitar etc, writing new songs and music, fine-tuning my recording studio, working on a world/fusion/groove thing with a co-conspirator and plotting a return to live playing and a new cd.... when my small children give me enough time... - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From gnwind@bigfoot.com Sun Apr 30 15:49:27 2000 Date: Sun Apr 30 15:49:27 2000 From: Steve Fruitman - The Great North Wind gnwind@bigfoot.com Subject: [mplpost] Interlog (Toronto) --=====================_6634938==_.ALT Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed I changed to echo online (who apparently hired some of the old interlog tech staff) and have had absolutely no problems.

Cate Inspired by Cate's posting, but not by an inspection of her home page, I offer the following to the general "you", not necessarily to Cate in particular: If your web page is 12 MB, and if it does not have sound samples on it, then you may be posting pictures with detail that no one will ever see. For example, if you post a picture with an "actual" size of 400 x 400 pixels, intending it to display in a region of 200 x 200, then you're wasting about 3/4 of the information (and consequently of your impatient fans' bandwidth when downloading over phone lines). There are many software products for reducing images to a format appropriate for their intended use; I happen to use Thumbs Plus, but I have not compared it to other products. Howard L.
