A technical note: if you take apart and examine the entire body of such an email (plain-text AND html) you'll see that both parts are contained inside a single email package. Some mail readers are trained to see only one part or the other, but many readers see both, which is a pain. Our listserve sofware sees them as an email containing HTML, which it rejects. One thing for sure, the text-only postings have really cleaned up Maplepost-digest. It's much more readable now.

Louise, Jane, Bill et al certainly make a valid point, and make it very well. (Hi Jane, long time!) I guess my real concern is that a number of people who *are* familiar with the artists will look at the ads and other promotion, and will decide *not* to go because they *think* it's going to be a "tribute band" type of show. It is, of course, an unqualified very good thing if new people get exposed to these artists, by almost whatever means. Um, by the way, when and where is the event again ?

A sold-out crowd of Canada's best blues artists and their fans are expected to be on hand for the presentation of the 5th annual Maple Blues Awards, and the wide variety of nominees indicates that a hot blues scene continues to thrive in a cold northern climate. The event is being held Tuesday January 29 at the Phoenix Concert Club in Toronto. A limited number of tickets are available by calling the Toronto Blues Society at 416-538-3885. It's likely to be a special night for Paul Reddick and The Sidemen; the Toronto-based blues quartet, its leader, and its members are nominated for no less than nine awards - which equals the previous record, set last year by another Toronto band, Fathead. It's likely to be an exciting night, too, for Fred Litwin, who founded a new label, Northern Blues, a little over a year ago. In addition to The Sidemen, other artists on Northern Blues are also nominated - Rita Chiarelli's name is attached to six nominations, and Harry Manx and the JW-Jones Blues Band are also nominated. Litwin will also receive The Blues Booster Award, chosen by the directors of the 500-plus member organization, in recognition of the impact his new label has made in the Canadian music scene. The gala evening will feature and all-star band of Toronto-area blues players, as well as guest appearances by players from across the country. Many of the winners and nominees are likely to jam for the crowds after the ceremonies are over. Other nominees include one of last year's big winners, Ottawa-based guitarist and singer Sue Foley, who earned three nominations, while three musicians in the veteran Downchild Blues Band have also been nominated. Nominees come from many different parts of Canada: Glamour Puss, Isaac & Blewitt, and The Carson Downey Band all hail from the Maritimes: Tim Williams and Ellen McIlwaine are based in Calgary, while Dawn Tyler Watson and Nanette Workman are from Montreal (they join McIlwaine, Foley and Chiarelli as nominees for Female Vocalist of the Year); Michael Jerome Brown is another Montreal nominee. Other nominees from British Columbia (Michael Kaeshammer, Dave Woodward, Tom Lavin as well as Harry Manx), as well as from a number of different Ontario communities. Derek Andrews, president of the Toronto Blues Society, said that the continuing effort to encourage nominations for artists across the country was paying off. "We've built a national awards show for Canada's blues artists," he said. "Even better, thanks to the co-operation of the other blues societies and organizations, we will receive votes from one side of the country to the other." Nominees were chosen by an independent panel of blues radio personalities and music journalists across Canada, except for the nominees for the Blues With a Feeling Awards which were chosen by the directors of the Toronto Blues Society. Mel Brown, Jeff Healey, Tom Lavin, Colin Linden, Big Dave McLean, Jackie Richardson and Ken Whiteley were nominated for the honour. The Maple Blues Awards are presented by the TBS in association with CBC Radio's Saturday Night Blues, The Coastal Jazz and Blues Society, Fredericton's Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival, and blues societies in Montreal, Ottawa and Thunder .

So Jeigh may be right, people who are "familiar" with the artists may NOT go to Lillian's gig based on the fact that they think it's "just a tribute band...." So I guess we would have to think that many of those on this list are not intelligent enough to make a choice? I bet that Lillian's choice of promotion for this show will have been very successful....I saw the movie, loved the music and was very interested when I saw the posting...but of course, I guess that must be because I have the appalling taste to LIKE the odd TRIBUTE band.....

You'll have a chance to hear songs from their brand new recording "Hand to Hand". It'll be a rollicking good time! (I guess that's a third reason!). Those of you familiar with them know that already and for those of you who've never had the opportunity to hear them (you've been deprived!).... well, you'll be impressed and come away with huge grins on your faces! Mark and Tom have been at it a long time. They enjoy the success of being two of the most regular working musicians on earth. They entertain in a wide variety of venues for an even wider assortment of audiences. With their roots firmly planted in tradition, their limbs freely explore the outer limits. Their engaging humor and musicality have made them popular in several circuits. Their ramblings have led them down the highways of Ontario, through the back roads of Britain, along the shores of the Maritimes and into the mountains of New York. They perform a traditional and original repertoire influenced by Celtic, Maritime and North American roots. They have just recorded their third album, "Hand to Hand" after "Foot To Floor" and "Optimist's Jig". They have performed nationally on CBC radio "Jurgin Gogh's Disc Drive", Murray McLaughlin's "Swingin' On A Star"' "Morning Side", locally on "Later The Same Day" and the national broadcast of "The Canadian Old Time Fiddler's Contest" from Shelbourne Ontario. Mark and Tom have also toured England and Scotland playing dates from Portsmouth to Edinburgh and Scarborough to Bath. Venues included folk societies, coffee-houses, pubs, the Boddington Manchester Festival of the Arts and a live performance on BBC's "Into the Parlour". They were comissioned to write arrangements of Canadian traditional music for live shows at the Canada Pavillion, Epcott Center, Disney World, Florida. With stints at Pipers' Colleges, The Woods Music & Dance camp, Harbourfront (for the Borealis Recording Company's 5th anniversary), countless pub & concert venues around Ontario as well as directional involvement in theatre, Mark & Tom continue to delight audiences wherever they go. You ll find them stomping the hardwood and leading the chorus where-ever tunes are played, stories are told and songs are sung. ----------------------------------------------------------- Lillian Aida Wauthier Acoustic Harvest Folk Club: http://acousticharvest.cjb.net Fiddles and Frets Music Ontario Council of Folk Festivals Lillipat - Music for Young Children Mariposa Folk Foundation Email: lillianw@interlog.com Telephone: 416-264-2235/Fax: 264-2168 check out Colin Stewart: http://colinstewart.cjb.net/ "You must ensure, no matter the cost, that the legacy of these great ships is not lost." - John Prince "Well it's alright...

NAACP Resolves Lawsuit With The Adam's Mark Hotel Chain Announces End Of Its Economic Boycotts Baltimore - Kweisi Mfume, President & CEO, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), today announced the resolution of a lawsuit against the Adam's Mark Hotel in Daytona Beach, Florida relating to Black College Reunion 1999. The settlement agreed to by the parties provides for monetary relief for the five individual plaintiffs, the creation of a settlement fund to be administered by the State of Florida to provide compensation for guests of the hotel during the weekend of April 9 -11, 1999 and payments to the four historically Black colleges and universities in Florida. Mfume said: "I am encouraged that the Adam's Mark has stepped forward to do the right thing to resolve this matter. This settlement came about after the Adam's Mark Hotel agreed to resolve the claims of the plaintiffs and other hotel guests. With the dispute resolved and our concerns having been met, it is appropriate for the NAACP economic boycott of the Adam's Mark hotel chain to end." -derek andrews ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ workday mailto:derek@harbourfront.on.ca - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From wrenfolk@interlog.com Tue Dec 4 10:28:53 2001 Date: Tue Dec 4 10:28:53 2001 From: Heath-Rawlings wrenfolk@interlog.com Subject: [mplpost] (Fwd) The Male Bonding Song Hi, Both of these writers have web sites.

Hopefully Bill will reply - he is usually very good about this. I know that both his and Jake's email addresses have changed within the last year, and I'm not sure the Web site reflects this (slapping my own wrists). "The Last Battle" is out of print at the moment. That's the CD with both Ginger Goodwin and the Male Bonding Song on it, and it's a "Best of..." collection from Bill and Jake's first 3 cassettes. Brian Morton (founder of the original cdnfolk list) put together the compilation. A couple of years ago Bill thought all copies of The Last Battle were sold, until he discovered a small cache with Brian or one of the other folks in southern Ontario. They have since been sold out. I have several standing orders for copies of the CD, should Bill ever decide to reprint it. Last summer he was set to do so but ran into some problems. Maybe if enough people ask, it will happen. Certainly it features some "essential" Canadian historical songs, such as The Last Battle, Shadow Boats, Augustus and Catherine...... and deserves to be accessible. There's some more info at the Web site, as Tony pointed out.

I've never met Bill Gallaher & Jake Galbraith, alas, but they've been known to venture out of BC for house concerts, etc. I believe they came to Kitchener a while back thanks to Jack Cole & the Old Chestnuts song circle.

But most importantly, Guy Davis is a bluesman. The blues permeates every corner of Davis' creativity. Throughout his career, he has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many ears as possible through the material of the great blues masters, African American stories, and his own original songs, stories and performance pieces...

A few will also remember another Greg Quill, the gifted, award- winning singer-songwriter in his native Australia and leader of the seminal Australian roots band Country Radio, which scored the Top 10 hits "Gypsy Queen", "Wintersong" and "She Do It To Me", toured the country endlessly, headlined at the Sydney Opera House, and shared stages with many musical icons of the era, including Fairport Convention, Elton John, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Santana, and Stephen Stills, among others...

Then their eccentric chefs will delight you with a full course of original tunes that will take you around the world from Sweden to Bengal.

Brent's early work helped forge the sound of legendary folk/rock group Three's a Crowd. The group recorded a few singles and one album, Christopher's Movie Matinee, produced by Cass Elliott of the Mamas and Papas and Steve Barry on ABC/Dunhill Records. Brent worked with Anne Murray in the studio and on the road, and gave her a successful hit when she recorded his composition, Sing High, Sing Low. His material was also performed and recorded by Glen Campbell, Andy Williams and the Osmonds. He's furnished backup for the likes of Bruce Cockburn, Don Ross, Oliver Schroer and Daisy DeBolt...

Two years later, the youngest one was playing the definitive 8 year old's version of "Desolation Row" on his ukelele. He soon abandoned that instrument to teach himself the flute, violin and guitar. Within ten years, and barely out of high school, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full-time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music. Since then, Garnet Rogers has established himself as 'One of the major talents of our time". Hailed by the Boston Globe as a "charismatic performer and singer", Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence - close to six and a half feet tall - with a voice to match. With his "smooth, dark baritone" (Washington Post) his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere...

I'll include bio information below but briefly, I've been playing and singing in bands for a few years (dare I say 20)...The Bird Sisters, Big Smoke, Benji, Crows Feet...and have just come out with my own CD with more than a little excitement. The concerts this weekend at Guelph's Carden St. Cafe on Friday night, Saturday afternoon matinee (3:00 pm) and Saturday night are almost sold out, but for a bit of standing room. Feel free to raise a glass wherever you might be or come on down for the steamy fun of it all. I'll certainly be trying to bring the celebration to a town near you in the future! Many of the folks that played on the album will be joining me for the shows... Lewis Melville on whatever has strings Dave Clark (Woodchopper Assoc., Rheostatics) & Sam Cino on drums and percussion Josh Finlayson (SkyDiggers), Nick Craine & John Charlton (Benji), Murray Ritchie on guitar Jack Walker on dobro Alfons Fear & Brodie West on trumpet and sax Andy Maize (SkyDiggers), Vicki Fraser, Kate Richmond and Susan Smith (Birds) on vocals ..and lots of fine singers from Guelph and beyond... And now for the bio and album info: About Tannis... The release of her debut album "Oak Lake" marks Tannis' first appearance as a solo artist. Her music career began with town hall, church and one-room school concerts in a small farming community in Manitoba. In 1980 she moved to Guelph, Ontario and began a professional career as a musician. Singing in clubs and fronting an R&B influenced band led to her co-founding The Bird Sisters, a three woman group specializing in tight a cappella harmonies. From 1984 to 1995, they played, recorded and toured North America releasing 3 critically acclaimed independent albums. Since 1995, she has co-founded the duo Crows Feet and the roots/rock trio Benji, with whom she has recorded 2 albums. Accompanying herself on guitar and mandolin, Tannis writes and sings about her unique Canadian experience. Vocal harmony continues to be her passion and remains the focus on her debut album. About the album "Oak Lake"... "Oak Lake" is affectionately named after her hometown on the Canadian prairies. The songs on this folk rock offering are a lyrical and musical narrative describing the transition from a family farm in Manitoba to a city in southern Ontario. The album features guest performances by many musical friends including Andy Maize (SkyDiggers), Jeff Bird (Cowboy Junkies), Gwen Swick (Quartette), Dave Clark (Rheostatics) and bluesman Harry Manx. The choir of 26 singers from the Guelph community on "There's A Lift" reflects Tannis' love of audience participation at live performances. Tannis co-produced Oak Lake with Lewis Melville, Josh Finlayson (SkyDiggers), Nick Craine (Black Cabbage), and John Charlton (Benji), with mixing assistance by Scott Merritt and Chris Marks. The album artwork includes a number of commissioned paintings from local artists as well as a collage of photographs of her life in Manitoba (including her farmhouse purchased from the Eaton's catalogue in the 1920's and her first one room school house). More information (including album availability) can be had by perusing Tannis' website at http://www.tannis.ca If any media or radio folks would like a copy, please send a note to tannis@tannis.ca Thanks for listening!

Hopefully Bill will reply - he is usually very good about this. I know that both his and Jake's email addresses have changed within the last year, and I'm not sure the Web site reflects this (slapping my own wrists). "The Last Battle" is out of print at the moment. That's the CD with both Ginger Goodwin and the Male Bonding Song on it, and it's a "Best of..." collection from Bill and Jake's first 3 cassettes. Brian Morton (founder of the original cdnfolk list) put together the compilation. A couple of years ago Bill thought all copies of The Last Battle were sold, until he discovered a small cache with Brian or one of the other folks in southern Ontario. They have since been sold out. I have several standing orders for copies of the CD, should Bill ever decide to reprint it. Last summer he was set to do so but ran into some problems. Maybe if enough people ask, it will happen. Certainly it features some "essential" Canadian historical songs, such as The Last Battle, Shadow Boats, Augustus and Catherine...... and deserves to be accessible. There's some more info at the Web site, as Tony pointed out.

Anyone not interested in getting a virus but also not interested in switching to a Mac or unix system should simply use another e-mail program than Outlook or Outlook Express. Netscape Messenger is very difficult to infect because unlike the Microsoft mail programs, it cannot be bidden to automatically run an attachment. So when you find an attachment you don't know or aren't expecting or aren't sure about, just delete the mail and the virus is gone. This does not, however, mean that you shouldn't take other precautions. - Use a good antivirus program (Symantec's Norton Antivirus and McAfee are the most common, and are affordable, but there are lots of other good choices too). - Whenever you read about a new virus, give it a few hours and then do your "live update" or whatever your antivirus program needs to update the "signature" files (that recognize the latest viruses), and then run the antivirus program to scan the system. - And _always_ keep your scanner on. From the day job side ... Jay P.S. To Anne: There is no need to delete a quarantined file. The quarantined file is being kept out of harm's way and is not where it can do you any damage. Do _not_ delete kernel32.exe -- your system should by now have rebuilt a healthy version of it and it is your operating system's core. If you delete the wrong one, you no longer have an operating system.

The Acoustic Harvest Folk Club Presents an "O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU" tribute show. Date: Sat. Dec. 8th Time: 8pm Location: Birch Cliff United Church, 33 East Rd. (corner of Kingston Rd. & Warden Ave.) Admission: $16 Info: 416-264-2235 __________________________________________________ Performers: THE BACKSTABBERS THE RICK FIELDING BAND CHRIS QUINN, DAN & JENNY WHITELEY, JOEY WRIGHT, MARC ROY BALL & CHAIN (MICHAEL BALL & JODY BENJAMIN) In a significant departure from our seasonal programs of previous years, we are pleased to present a very special evening for fans of old timey and country music. If you have seen the highly acclaimed Coen Brothers movie, "O Brother Where Art Thou", you will remember the wonderful old time music that made up the soundtrack. We are now bringing some of that stirring music to our concert stage in our "O Brother" Tribute. The music will be presented by a number of groups who are committed to keeping the old time and country music alive. These include: The Backstabbers: A Toronto based country stringband who are rapidly gaining a devoted following, they often perform grouped around a single microphone to maintain that authentic old time feeling. The band consists of Tony Allen on fiddle, Bob Hannan on guitar and lead vocals, Tom Parker, aka "The Colonel" on mandolin and harmony vocals, James "Jimmy Jazz" Thomson on stanup bass and Oliver Bielefeld on accordian. Together they are dynamite. The Rick Fielding Band: Rick is well known to many and has been a mainstay of the Toronto folk music scene for more than 30 years. With a wealth of traditional material and a group of talented local musicians to back him, Rick's performances are always homey, informative and musically diverse. His seemingly effortless virtuoso playing belies the years of performing which allowed him to develop his unique style. Ball and Chain: Ottawa's duo of Michael Ball and Jody Benjamin revive the roots of old timey country and blues tunes with equal doses of respect and good humour. Sometimes performing with the Great Canadian Theatre Company, Jody sounds like she was born to sing these wonderful hurtin' tunes. Crazy Strings (or part thereof)-Chris Quinn, Dan & Jenny Whiteley, Joey Wright and Marc Roy: They are all young, dedicated proponents of old timey and bluegrass music, and all superb musicians with numerous festival, concert, club appearances, studio work, CDs, even a Juno award (Jenny) to their credit. These groups will be performing music from the "O Brother" movie as well as their own material. All together, it's an ambitious program full of memorable music. If you haven't been exposed to old timey music, you are in for a treat. If you have, then you already know that. Don't miss it!

Thanks to Gene for catching it! Mark Smith, Whitehorse..... Here are the jury results from the 46 fabulous submissions by artists who wished to showcase for Folk Alliance Canada in Jacksonville next February. Six acts were chosen, and six alternates. The confirmed showcasers are featured in the ad below: _________________________________________________________________ Folk Alliance Canada Presents Six Hot Artists from the Frozen North 11.30 p.m. Saturday evening In City Terrace 8 11.30 PM. SwingSoniq Greg Leskiw has been part of some Canada's best bands, from The Guess Who through Crowcuss and Kilowatt. This is gentle, wry music by a lively trio - a hint of Louis Armstrong, a grand way with a classic, and some great original songs. 12 Midnight HARRY MANX A guitar genius who mixes the blues with Indian music, and pulls off a startling mixture of Muddy Waters and V.M. Bhatt. In addition to wicked slide guitar, he also plays the Mohan Veena (call it an Indian slide guitar with 20 strings!) and harmonica. The most intriguing instrumentalist you'll hear all weekend. 12.30 AM, NOROUET The future of traditional music is in good hands. This three-piece band plays a rich and subtle mix of Celtic and Scandinavian music, with just a hint of jazz, and everything they play is filtered through their Quebecois perspective. Stépanie Lépine, Eric Beaudry and Patrick Graham represent French Canada's best young talent. 1.00 AM, DAVID FRANCEY David broke through last summer, and came close to stealing every festival he played across Canada. James Keelaghan calls him "the best Canadian folk writer that I've heard in 20 years". Kieran Kane heard "words of eloquence, beauty and charm, hung on a jewel of a voice." He's likely to be a major discovery for everyone who hears him. 1:30 AM, NICKY MEHTA "My songwriting deals with finding hope and happiness in difficult circumstances," says this singer who emerged from Winnipeg to make a stunning Toronto debut at FolkMeet (Folk Alliance Canada's inaugural conference, wonderfully main-hosted by OCFF) last October. A fresh voice, thoughtful songs, and a winning, witty stage presence. 2:00 AM, THE WYRD SISTERS One of the most popular folk groups to emerge from Canada in recent years, The Wyrds - Kim Baryluk, Nancy Reinhold and the newest member, Kiva - offer songs for the heart and the head, delivered with passion and panache. A must-hear group, and a fitting climax to an evening of unique Canadian Music. We thank our sponsors for helping us introduce this music to you: (SOCAN logo) (FACTOR logo) (Manitoba Film & Sound logo) ___________________________________________________________________ The alternates are: Mike Stack, Tannis Slimmon, Celtitude, Michael Jerome Browne and Tim Harrison. For the 'Duly Diligent & Politically Correct' among us, the above mix of 12 top finalists out of the 46 submitted gave us... male-female, east-central-west, roots-blues-tradPQ-Celt-singsong -- and groups that are allfem-allmale-mixed. Oh yes, they ALL are talented, too! None of this was an easy process, and we collectively thank all those who took the time and effort to submit their material for consideration.

It was as if each instrumentalist was telling a story, and what a tale unfolded!" That is what we thought of the concert last May. We thought it was only appropriate to bring them back. "Fiddlesong weaves a dynamic musical tapestry out of many of the voices that shape this country." Anne Lederman returns with her inspiring blend of "wild and dangerous" fiddling and her strong traditionally-based singing, with The Fiddlesong Trio. Tom Leighton and Debashis Sinha round out the trio. Tom - well known with his performances with Mark Haines, plays accordian, keyboards +…, while Debashis, a member of Doula, brings forth all his percussionist skill. This is a combination too interesting to miss - traditional and original material drawn from the interconnected wellsprings of Canadian life. On voices, fiddle, feet, bones, jawharp, accordion, piano, citterns, and too many drums to count, The Fiddlesong Trio promises to be an act to keep your ears on for some time to come.

They are joining forces to bring the best in original Canadian folk/roots music to your community. There are still opportunities to book this duo in southern Ontario between March 7th and March 20th when they're playing their way west to Manitoba. Please call Liz Harvey-Foulds at By the Bay Productions if you're interested in discussing booking a concert for your venue. Although Ian and Rodney's life journeys have taken them down very different paths, they both spent their formative years in Thunder Bay and this has profoundly influenced the music they create. It matters not in which direction each may have branched out - northern roots remain strong! Ian Tamblyn has been called an icon of Canadian folk music. He is responsible for the birth of classic folk songs like "Woodsmoke and Oranges", "All Around the Campfire Light" "One Horse Town", "Higher Plane" and "Once Upon a Railroad". His songs have been covered by the likes of Colleen Peterson, Tamarack and Sylvia Tyson. An intrepid traveller and adventurer, Ian has brought his experiences from the far corners of the world home and incorporated them into his music. With an honorary doctorate from Lakehead University, a JUNO award and a Japanese Folk Award (only a few of his accolades) to his credit, Ian's talent has not gone unrecognized. Ian has produced more than 25 albums for musicians of various genres and has earned a stellar reputation in this capacity. He has also recorded and produced over 100 soundtracks for theatres across Canada. Both as a musician and as a producer Ian Tamblyn has made an indelible mark on the Canadian folk/roots scene. Rodney has remained in the north, tenaciously choosing to pursue his career from Thunder Bay, even when logic dictated a career enhancing move to a larger centre. Establishing a national reputation from a relatively isolated community means intensive touring. However, after almost two decades of crisscrossing the country, family commitments necessitated taking a break from the road. Thus Rodney has made diversity his stock and trade. He has gained a reputation nationally as a children's entertainer and in this guise has recorded three albums. He has continued to front local bar bands playing everything from traditional celtic, classic rock, country; folk and reggae. Rodney has been commissioned to write songs for plays, radio and television programs, festivals and corporate and government media campaigns. He tours his "Merry Christmas to You" show annually and has continued to write and perform his original material in concert both as a solo artist and in conjunction with other artists. Songs like "Northern Winds", "The Freight Train Derailed" and "Jack of Clubs Hotel" have been covered live and recorded by musicians like Tom Jackson, Daisy DeBolt and and Kim Deschamps. In concert together, Ian Tamblyn & Rodney Brown weave vocal and instrumental harmonies, while painting pictures of life in the north and exploring universal themes. Piano, guitars, harmonica, dulcimer and percussion find a place in their performances. Both musicians have new releases; songs from Voice in the Wilderness and Into the Woods will be featured alongside old favourites.

In short Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, was originally conceived when Linden and Fearing, almost simultaneously decided to record a Willie P. Bennett song. They placed one quick call to Tom Wilson, a known Willie P. fan, and "Blackie" was formed. The enthusiasm, creativity and experience this group brings to the stage is a testament to their inspired musical commitment as they infuse their music with a rare, tangible, sonic quality --the results are simply magic. The sheer fun these guys have as "Blackie" is infectious, and this is a rare show not to be missed.

So, some quick recommendations: 1) Get a Mac. 2) Get anti-virus software. 3) Talk to your computer dealer about viruses and how to deal with them. 4) Read your local newspaper - they give chapter and verse on every virus that goes the rounds. 5) Presume that computer users know what viruses and how to deal with them. 6) Find the websites that deal with these things and check them regularly. 7) Stop sending out virus warnings. The readers either know about them already, don't care (I'm in that group), have a computer that's already crashed, or have enough savvy not to open attachments (or e-mail, for that matter) from folk they don't know, or always wear a condom (i.e., viral protection)....

Anyone know who wrote this - was it written for the movie or does it pre-date that?" It's a fairly well-known song in the bluegrass world and was been recorded by quite a few artists long before anyone including the Coens ever thought of the O Brother movie. I can't look right now for any of the recordings, but I would think it's one of those "trad" things by now. Or the wonderful category of "arranged by". The song appears on the Mountain Soul album by Patty Loveless with the title "Soul of Constant Sorrow". The claim is made that it was written by Patty and producer (hubby too, I think) Emory Gordy Jr. I have no idea how it is that they claim it as theirs.

In that post, which was longer than the first, he discusses anti-virus options. When I first got on this list, I was pretty happy to find it. There are a lot of people on here that have made some serious contributions to Canadian music. Richard is one of them. I knew that I would have to put up with a certain amount of frustration with my own ignorance at what was going on at the other side of the country, but I figured that this was a community--of sorts--of folks--of sorts. As a Canadian musician, playing folk, I figured that eventually, I could become a part of it. I'm not really able to contribute very much in terms of folk-specific news to this list. I have mostly been lurking and learning to this point, and I thought this would be a good place to do it. There are some very good folks on this list, and I have listened to some music, and been to some shows that I wouldn't have if this list did not exist, dragging along other musicians when I can. I received the virus in an e-mail from someone from Maplepost. He had my e-mail address because he posted a question which was slightly off topic for Maplepost, and I thought it best to respond to him directly, and not bother everyone on the list with our discussion. My anti-virus software (I'm saying it out loud right now, just to make you happy) caught the virus. I thought it best to warn others on the list, because if the infected person tried to warn them directly he might re-send this or another virus. My post was long, but accurate. It said at the top what is was about, and to whom it might be of interest. I understand this kind of thing, being a Westerner on Maplepost: 85% of the traffic doesn't directly affect me, so I only read it if I am interested. I've already done a rah-rah post about how this is a good thing. My intention was to help those in the community who might be uninformed. I realise that this topic, similar to the topics of "What is folk music?" "What is Canadian?" "What does it mean to be Canadian and to folk?" and "What's Richard Flohill's mood today?--and why?" have been repeatedly covered in great depth already on the list, but sadly, it appears that some people insist on not knowing everything, or at least not guessing right. I guess I fall into that category, so I guess this list is not for me. Richard's point appears to be: What's the point of helping these ignorant people if it means 6 extra e-mails? Let 'em lash out for a new computer, or new software. This is not the first, and probably not the last, post like this, and to be fair, they are not all from Richard. But regardless, I'm tired of it. I don't think that there is an adequate understanding of how large or far-reaching this community is, or how influential opinions on here can be. As I said, I was expecting to put in an effort to get something out of this list. I usually post, and read the opinions that come back. I may agree or disagree, but that's part of being in a community, and I don't clutter up the list correcting or arguing every little point, just to show who's boss, because that is what little people do. But I'm not willing to hang out with crabby, self-important people who value their own inconsequential inconveniences over the community that supports them. And after this much time, I'm not eating another yard of poop, because I know where it comes from. This next part I mean earnestly. I am not being sarcastic: To everyone, including Richard, thank you for the insight and information you have shared. When it has been there, it has been very useful. To Gene and Derek, thank you for maintaining an excellent resource. To everyone else, and those willing to continue to hit that delete key - happy folking! - ghoti - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From estelle@kos.net Fri Dec 7 15:26:50 2001 Date: Fri Dec 7 15:26:50 2001 From: Estelle Klein estelle@kos.net Subject: [mplpost] Re: "man of constant sorrow" and O Brother. Re Man Of Constant Sorrow information: My search confirms the early text "in a pocket songster hawked by Dick Burnett, a blind singer from Monticello, Kentucky" printed about 1913. The song was later popular in the sixties as sung by Judy Collins and many on the coffee house scene. At that time it was usually heard as; "I am a Girl of Constant Sorrow", and likely was introduced as a traditional Appalachian lament. Sarah Ogun Gunning, a great singer of her own and traditional material, is credited with "recomposition" about 1936 after her husband became fatally ill. S.O.G. was called "the Maid of Constant Sorrow". She has long been a favourite of mine. This information is from liner notes of her recording of that name. The hardship of her family life in coal mining Kentucky, the union organizing history, and Sarah's personal strength make amazing reading. Partial lyrics; Perhaps, dear friends, you are wondering, What the miners eat and wear This question I will try to answer, For I'm sure that it is fair. For breakfast we had bulldog gravy, For supper we had beans and bread. The miners don't have any dinner, and a tick of straw they call a bed. Well, we call this Hell on earth, friends, I must tell you all good-bye. Oh, I know you all are hungry, Oh my darling friends, don't cry.

Since Estelle brought this up, I thought it would be worth mentioning that Judy Collins's 1961 debut album, "Maid of Constant Sorrow," has recently been lovingly remastered by Alan Silverman and released on CD along with her second album, "Golden Apples of the Sun." It's great to have these wonderful albums FINALLY available on CD, 40 years after their first release!

(Re: [mplpost] Virus warnings/hoaxes, etc etc) I've known Richard since neither of us had any grey. However, when he tells you to avoid viruses by Trick #1 , DON'T LISTEN: Richard Flohil wrote: > 1) Get a Mac. No. You Mac users, just wait until you discover that an infected Mac is *way* harder to fix and clean than an infected Windows box. They're not as vulnerable, but mostly because the virus writers don't bother with 'em much since it's not worth their while: there are so few Macs out there. I recommend Norton Internet Security for Macintosh, which will also help protect you from hacking. I haven't priced it out (I'm not a Mac guy) but it shouldn't be too costly. However, the *current* batch of viruses seems only to be able to target Windows users of Outlook and Outlook Express. So don't panic about badtrans or pentagoner. Just protect your system and you can be just as smug when viruses come out that do affect the Mac . OBfolk: And if you don't want to hear either the antivirus advice or the complaints about it being inappropriately posted, get a banjolin and tune it up and play it. Believe me, neither you nor anyone in the room will hear any of the squabbling, or anything else. It's also good for drowning out catfights, screaming babies and bad singing.

I can easily read mildly infuriating 'Mapleposts' without feeling the need to respond, but sometimes it's simply too good an opportunity to pass up. The configuration of the stars.... when the moon is in the seventh house....or when Dick starts appologizin'...that's good enough for me. Being (A)..old enough to have known him BEFORE he discovered that 'controversy can sell tickets', (B)..one of those 'good' musicians who are part of the "Oh Brother..." concert at Acoustic Harvest on Saturday night (We didn't NAME the event, kiddo!), and (C)...someone, who because of age and Harry Potter-like wisdom, often gets tons of e-mails from pickers and musical friends, panicking when they think someone has played "promotional dirty pool": My response to them is darn similar to what I'd say here. Dick is cursed with wicked ironic humour, (a quality highly valued in Britain, from whence he was thrown out for unrelated reasons about 75 years ago) and a rapid-fire vocal delivery. A dangerous combination you'll have to admit. Let's face it, admitting to being part of an "ABBA tribute" (Bjorn Again) meant that he had to see the show (at least once) and that would seem punishment enough, for a dozen slips of the tongue. Considering what gets played live, and on recording in this house from daybreak to midnight, the soundtrack from "Oy Brother.." is practically "New-Country"! Endless medleys of rural Southern music are what have kept me sane since teen-age hood, so I was actually able to view the movie very objectively (horrid editing...nice scenery) and hardly notice that some trad music was dropped willy-nilly into the 'plot' like dumplings into a stew. Anyway, just wanted to say that 'both' shows will be fun, Dick knows a hell of a lot about old time music (although he prefers to hang with beautiful young blonde singer-songwriters, rather than elderly banjo playing pig farmers), he's a nice guy (almost cuddly!) and he really DOESN'T take himself that seriously.

You know that, because he calls me Dick, and I have spent the last 20 years of my life trying to be called Richard. It's really difficult having a diminutive name that is, in current parlance, the noun for the male sexual organ, or a descriprive word for a feckless idiot. The time I made the change, so to speak, followed a fulsome introduction by a VJ on Much Music, who introduced me to several hundred thousand people, live on national television, with the memorable words: "Here he is, our favourite Dick in the music industry!" Several things Rick said about me ARE true. Yes, I do like to hang around blonde singer-songwriters (shoot, I knew Joni Mitchell - very slightly, alas - when she was Joni Anderson), and I've actually worked with one or two of them over the years. Mind you, Loreena McKennitt's a redhead, and kd lang is the least blonde person I've ever met. But I will fess up to Stacey Earle and Dar Williams and (very recently) Nanette Workman, but she's a blues singer. And, yes, I did come from the UK a long time ago (but, hey, not 75 years back, tho I now realise, to my horror, that it actually is close to 45 years - damn, where did my life go?). Oh, one more thing. I don't think Rick's right about the music in O Brother being "dropped willy nilly into the plot." As he well knows, most movie makers think about the music in a desperate last-minute panic, and they either get some hack like John Williams or Ennio Morriccone to cobble together a score in two weeks flat, or yell at some hapless music publisher and licence a bunch of old songs, thus making composers a healthy whack of money often when they least expect it. In the case of this film, however, ALL the music was written (or adapted) and recorded in its final form before an inch of film went through the cameras. The music is central to the film, the film is great fun, and that's why - with terrific word of mouth - both the movie and the music have been so staggeringly successful. So successful, in fact, that Rick's taking part in an O Brother tribute concert, and I'll bet anything that no-one's more surprised than he is. And if this wasn't meant to be a folk list, I'd tell the true story of my involvement with Bjorn Again, one of the best clone/cover/"tribute" acts I've ever come across, great fun to hang about with, and one of the better things I've come across to pay the mortgage. Smile, folks, Richard. PS: Oh, yes, and I've done publicity nfor not one but THREE national tours with Nana Mouskouri, and if I had a nickel for every time someone's told me that she's their mother's favourite act, I would have been even better paid than I was. And, anyway, Ms. Mouskouri is a blast to hang with, loves her single malt Scotch, does lots of good works, and entertains a thousands of people all over the world with utter professionalism, integrity and a whole lotta class. Not at the top of my musical hit parade, but if she asks me I'll do her publicity again at a second's notice. -- - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From rtwright@grassrootsgroup.com Fri Dec 7 22:52:27 2001 Date: Fri Dec 7 22:52:27 2001 From: rtwright@grassrootsgroup.com rtwright@grassrootsgroup.com Subject: [mplpost] Virus warnings/hoaxes, etc etc Further to Flohill: And, get a virus checker from your ISP.

Shoick! Horror!!! Apologies in order!!! Then Val Cormier distances herself from my long (and I thought mildly funny) post by saying "Blah blah blah" and 'fessing she's stoned. Tut, tut! Drug use!! Say NO to drugs!!! And the only point I want to mention, in response to Rick's tale of being introduced by Hlobal TV host Bob McAdorey (never the brightest spark in the firework box) as Rick Neufeld, is that Neuf is alive and well and driving the Guess Who's tour bus. I had a coupla beers with him in September, when Burton and Randy and the boys were playing a giant rock/country festival was I hyping in (of all places) Walkerton, Ontario, which now has the safest-to-drink water in the whole country. Rick has long been in the tour bus game, which is now in overdrive (pardon the pun) because NONE of the touring bands are flying any more since Sept. 11; you can't find a tour bus for love or money; they're ALL being used). He's still amiable and rumpled and funny, and he has better stories than I'll ever have about the rock and roll game, and his hit, Moody Manitoba Morning. still gets him the odd modest check from SOCAN. Cheers, Richard (carefully not saying f---, certainly not stoned, and in an unseasonably good mood considering I still have to go get my first coffee and its effing freezing out there. Now I'll press the RIGHT botton and get outta here) -- - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From Peter@NutshellMusic.com Sat Dec 8 09:36:58 2001 Date: Sat Dec 8 09:36:58 2001 From: Peter MacDonald (Nutshell Music) Peter@NutshellMusic.com Subject: [mplpost] Folkie Christmas Albums At 07:52 AM 12/8/01 -0500, you wrote: >This is an informal poll.

Now two of those members along with former members of previous incarnations of Rumi have been working under the name Kallawaya (Medicine Man) for the past few years. They are wonderful entertainers. And they would like to come to Canada, and have asked me about hitting the festival circuit et al. As they come from Bolivia, which is as usual on very hard times, they are also looking for travel grants, etc.. If anyone has any advice as to how I can help get these fine folks up to Canada for the 2002 season, I can be reached at 204-586-8418 or abrowne@autobahn.mb.ca. I can get my hands on videos of performances as well as discs, photos, bios-the whole schmear. A little more info can be found at the following websites-check out the fantastic costumes: http://www.tumi.music.ndirect.co.uk/english/kallawayaspan.htm Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer me.

Ah, my favorite topic rolls around again. I think we need some Christmas music playing to get us in the mood. Especially when I look out the window and see green grass instead of the 2 feet of snow we usually have at this time of year! Here's one for you Harvey Reid's "The Heart of the Minstrel on Christmas Day" - very beautiful stuff. Harvey is an amazing example of how to be completely independent and make a great living. You can only get the CD from him. (www.woodpecker.com ) Here's the description for it if anyone's interested. "A masterpiece of beautiful and spirited Christmas instrumentals on guitar & autoharp. Just the unadorned beauty of this timeless music and one of today's finest layers, and one of Harvey's most popular and enduring recordings. Many of the cuts here were originally recorded in 1984 and released on a limited-edition cassette titled "The Christmas Project". The additional cuts were added in 1987 and again in 1990 when the CD was released" Beth Girdler bgirdler@attcanada.ca www.davidfrancey.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 vicbell@telusplanet.net Sat Dec 8 14:04:08 2001 Date: Sat Dec 8 14:04:08 2001 From: Vic Bell vicbell@telusplanet.net Subject: [mplpost] Folkie Christmas Albums Only on vinyl I think...Bim (Roy Forbes) & Connie Kaldor, A Christmas Album. cheers, Vic - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From cgrass@shaw.ca Sat Dec 8 14:17:02 2001 Date: Sat Dec 8 14:17:02 2001 From: Laurie Mills cgrass@shaw.ca Subject: [mplpost] folky 'grassy Christmas 2 When I sent the note about the Sugar Hill "Sugar Plums" CD I forgot about these: Tony Trischka - Glory Shone Around - Rounder (bluegrass-old time).

Some Christmas recommendations, but many will be hard to find now: * ALBION BAND: A Christmas Present from the Albion Band * VARIOUS ARTISTS, but mostly PAMELA MORGAN and ANITA BEST: Amber Christmas * THE TRACTORS: Have Yourself a Tractors Christmas (killer record from a little-known Omaha country band, well outside the mainstream) * BUTCH THOMPSON: Yulestride (stride piano workouts on carols and the likes - lovely dinner music for the Christmas turkey) * ARROGANT WORMS: Christmas Turkey (someone already mentioned this, but watching my nine year old grand-daughter fall about while listening to "Santa's Gonna Kick Your Ass" was a highlight of my life) * There are fine Christmas blues collections on the Stony Plain, Alligator, and Bullseye labels. * CHARLES BROWN: Cool Christmas Blues (the late Charles Brown wrote Merry Christmas Baby and Please Come Home for Christmas) * Bim and Connie Kaldor: New Songs for an Old Celebration (this'll be hard to find, but there are great songs here, and, of course, terrific performances) * QUARTETTE: It's Christmas (damn, I still miss Colleen) * Various Artists: Home for the Holidays (A BMG/RCA country sampler, which includes Prairie Oyster's version of Christmas in Jail. And some favourite "singles" included in other albums: * SOLOMON BURKE: Presents for Christmas (over the top classic r&b by one of the very best) * Y'ALL: Christmastime in the Trailer Park (gay duo, surviving in Nashville, make some of the sweetest, most loveable music anywhere) * ROBERT EARL KEEN: Merry Christmas from the Family (how disfunctional a Christmas Day do you really want?) *BILLY CONNOLLY: The Queen's Christmas Party (a classic from his old album Get Right Intae Him; Her Majesty may not be amused) * LONG JOHN BALDRY: On a Christmas Day (from his new Remembering Leadbelly album on Stony Plain. Oddly, I don't think I have the Leadbelly version, but I do have the one John copped this from, released in the late '50s in the UKby trad jazzers Chris Barber and Lonnie Donegan) Good luck finding some of these these.

If ever he does want to work with the vinyl, I'd recommend the amazing skills of Peter Moore (best known for his production of the early Cowboy Junkies record) - he did the reissue of Ian & Sylvia's Great Speckled Bird for Stony Plain, working with second-hand vinyl (and not in great shape, either) and he somehow managed to mix the vocals more upfront than on the original. Todd Rundgren produced the original for Bearsville in Woodstock, and nobody's been able to find the original tapes since...When it comes to resurrecting old vinyl, Peter's Moore's a master! Incidentally, there are so many good songs on the Bim/Connie record that I'm surprised some enterprising publisher hasn't taken them round Nashville to all those country acts who put out Christmas records every year, and use the same tired old repertoire.

For an unusual and beautiful approach try "Frost & Fire, A Calendar of Ceremonial Folk Songs" by The Watersons. This recording is not limited to Christmas but moves through a year's calendar displaying songs that accompanied very old ceremonies ... some predating church rituals. There are about four which directly relate to Christmas. The singing is remarkable. I have a feeling this is a difficult recording to find! Queries to The Watersons or Martin Carthy might help. I'm not up to date on the current situation of Topic recordings. Info; recorded in 1965 and issued by Topic Records. Wonderful notes by A.L.Lloyd.

It's very gratifying to see how much this music means to so many of you, judging by the vociferous, appreciative audience response. So thank yous to: Col. Tom Parker and all The Backstabbers who took us on a most joyous journey, to Rick Fielding who gave us his all-encompassing warmth, wit, humour and stories and showed us his seemingly effortless prowess with a flat-pick, to his skilled band - Eddie Baltimore (guitar), "Pineapple" Frank Barth (dobro) and Greg Monk (banjo, mandolin) and to Jenny & Dan Whiteley, Chris Quinn, Joey Wright and Marc Roy, all incredibly gifted artists and surely just about the hottest pickers on the Planet! This was a night to remember! The music was marvellous - it would have made a great soundtrack!

Featuring Jah Ire Artists Rave Music Kingston Jamaica 1981. Yes I got it in Jamaica, but there are copies around. Great tunes, reworked standards and happening originals. Rootsy? You bet. 2) Christmas with John Fahey VOL 2. Tacoma records 1975. Fine instrumental tunes for guitar nerds and other folks too. 3) David Grisman's Acoustic Christmas. Stony Plain. It has been around for awhile now, and stands the test of time. 4) Bonanza. Christmas on the Ponderosa. Original TV Cast. RCA. A zellers bargain bin special. Pa and Hoss and Joe and Adam have us and all the neighbours over for some festive fun, seasonal stories and music. There's a band in the corner that strikes up when each of the boys take a turn at singin'. You can see it all happening by the big fireplace at the ranch. 5) Kirk Elliott. Wintersong. A compilation of 10 years of music that Kirk has written and recorded for the Canadian Children's Dance Theatre's annual Christmas performance. Not just for the Noel season, but Winter music from the middle ages and Kirk's own inspiration. Singles? 1) Honkey the Christmas Goose. Johnny Bower. He was a goalie, so was I, I guess my roots are showing.

Ten years ago a bunch of Riverdale artists came together with some business people and some energetic volunteers in the neighbourhood and put on the first show. Henry Heillig, Elaine Overholt, Robert Priest, Robert Missen, Bruce Moffat, Lois Lillienstein and me performed that first year to a small but enthusiastic crowd. Ten years later, the sold-out concert has grown to become Riverdale's landmark holiday season event. Each year hundreds of volunteers put on a two hour show that excels because of its mix of the "famous" and the "yet-to-be-discovered" and its old fashioned small town spirit. There's an all-star 8 piece band with three horns and a nine piece string section holding down the back line while over the years folks like Luba Goy, Theresa Tova, Moxy Fruvous, Louise Pitre, Richard Ouzounian, Phil Dwyer, Terry Hatty continue to do solo spots up front. Then there are the audience carol singalongs "conducted" by Wayne Strongman and heart-stopping moments when the Jackman School Choir joins in on John Lennon's "So This is Christmas". This year also features 'jive' dancers from Rosedale High School for the Arts and a 20 piece African Dance and Drumming ensemble from Danforth Collegiate. It's the best gift we can give to our neighbours. Our goals have remained constant from the beginning: to create a community celebration that is inclusive to all while we raise funds and food for families in need in our neighbourhood. Tickets are only $7 but over our ten year history we've raised and donated about $100,000 and quite a few tons of food to local organizations that work at all levels with families in need. Tickets are available at the door but it always sells out (1200 seats) so if you're in the Riverdale neighbourhood you can buy in advance at the Big Carrot, Toy Circus or It's My Party on the Danforth. Showtime is 3pm sharp. Doors open at 2:30pm. Hope to see you there. Come say hello.

Local artists performing that night include Jacob Moon, Jamie Oakes, Lisa Winn, Rob Lamothe, Steve Strongman, Adam and Annette, Melissa McClelland, Mark McIntyre, Danny Lockwood and more. Each musician will perform their holiday favourites with the very capable house band of Jacob Moon, Danny Lockwood and Mark McIntyre. Tickets for the show are set at a minimum $5 donation at the door. The event is being spearheaded by local artist Jacob Moon, who participated and was inspired by last year's benefit concert organised by musician Mike Daley. "As I see it, there were two great things about the idea" says Moon "One -- that we were getting together as musicians and playing for and with each other, which is a very good thing that doesn't happen often enough; and two -- that we could help bring awareness and support to a local charity, which in this case is Wesley Urban Ministries." Wesley Urban Ministries is a broad based downtown organiztion devoted to meeting the needs of high risk people living in the core. They offer many services including meals, employment services and a Christmas Toy program. For more information about this vital ministry, call Adele Tighelaar, Fundraising Coordinator (905) 528-5629 ext 244.

Come early and sign up to play a couple of songs or just come out and listen to the talented musicians. This will be the last Jam until January 8th 2002 so you won't want to miss it. 2. Think Hugh's Room is just a great place to come and listen to music? Well, it also happens to run one of the finer open stages around town. Host Trevor Mills brings warmth, fun and enthusiasm to the open stage every Tuesday night. The music gets going around 8pm and the sign up is strictly first come first served. A signup sheet is put out at 7pm. If you want to play early, show up between 7 and 7:30. The music usually runs until 12 or 12:30. A unique thing that you'll find at Hugh's Room open stage is a complete sound system and a professional sound person working the board. We have enough microphones and direct boxes to handle anything. The only thing we ask is that you bring your own patch chord. Unfortunately, we don't have a piano. However, Trevor usually brings his bass along and is always looking to play. In fact, there's often opportunities for performers to get up on stage together in song-swapping-in-the-round style workshops. Performers get two or three songs depending on how busy the evening is. 2261 DUNDAS ST. WEST, TORONTO, ONT.

After just one listening, I find myself completely without words to describe what I just heard. (For those who know me, that is atypical to say the least). I live in New York -- on Long Island, to be precise. For eight years, I worked either within a few blocks of the Trade Center, or directly across the Hudson, with the most spectacular unobstructed view that anyone could want. The songs spoke to me in a truly profound way, far more than I had expected. This CD needs to be played here. Unfortunately, our radio stations are commandeered by what is popular -- is a metropolitan area of some 20 million, we have only two stations that play classical music, one that plays jazz (and it is in Newark, not New York) and none that play anything resembling a reasonable diet of folk (no Gene Shay [sp?] or Jim Blume here). There is, however, one program that I do believe will air it, in its entirety. WFUV, the Fordham University station, airs a program called "The Folk Songs of Woody's Children", hosted by Bob Sherman. This program originated on WQXR about 30 years ago and moved there recently. Bob plays a very eclectic mix of music, ranging from traditional folk to the repeat program he aired last night about Hanukkah. I suspect with, sufficient encouragement, he would be very receptive to airing the CD in its entirety (which is the only way to listen to it). I sent Bob an e-mail (his address is bobsherman@wfuv.org). If, however, anyone out there knows Bob or has some connection to him, I strongly urge you to communicate with him to get the CD played. Both the work and the musicians who contributed to it deserve to be heard here, and anything anyone can do would be greatly appreciated.

What a shame. It was an absolutely fantastic experience working with Mr. Wrycraft and with the guy who engineered all of the tracks (I think) - David Travers-Smith. David was lightning fast in the studio and a pleasure to work with. It was wonderful to record a track with Taxi Chain on that CD and it was fantastic to listen to the end result created by each and every artist or group. It was a unique, sometimes quirky soundtrack to the holiday/winter season in this great land of ours. Leave it to Wrycraft...

I own a CD called "Jingle Cats" Meowy Christmas (real kittens sing 20 holiday classics) - if there's anyone you really don't like buy it for them for Christmas. It consists totally of cats meowing, yowling etc different notes to compose songs. I don't know if I'm accurately describing how annoying this CD is. Aengus Finnan if you're out there you will likely recall the Moosonee Christmas party where the cd was removed from my player by irate guests and tossed into a large snowdrift in the back yard. Fortunately there was another one wrapped and under the tree which I was able to play to torture friends, family and loved ones until daylight allowed me to dig and tunnel and retrieve the original disc. Why do I play such a irritating cd? I'm not sure but I'll ask my therapist next visit and get back to you when I figure it out.... Then there's always the Chipmunks Christmus album or how about Sooby Doo' s Christmas we have that on vinyl... ************************************************* Liz Harvey-Foulds "Live From the Rock" Blues & Folk Society By the Bay Productions Box 119, Red Rock Ontario.

Someone gave me the one sung by frogs a few years back. Pretty gruesome. But, oh, I heard the ABSOLUTE WORST Christmas song the other day on the radio. I don't know who wrote it or who sang it because I missed the intro and it wasn't extro'd. But it's called "Christmas Shoes", and you could just picture a couple of writers in Nashville trying to think of the most maudlin and annoying story they could come up with. Little kid with no money comes into a shoestore and picks out a pair of shoes for his dying mom, cause he wants her to be well dressed when she goes to meet Jesus that night. Kid panhandles a kindly stranger for the dough, and the stranger (who sings the song) learns a great life lesson. My kids and I were howling as we listened to this astonishing piece of music. Only thing in its favour was that it wasn't sung by cats or frogs. Oh my god, I hope it wasn't written by one of you!!!! Surely not. A Canadian song wouldn't get programmed on a pop station. I was also groaning at Meryn Cadell's song about the cat that saves the life of a mouse (hello!) on Christmas Eve. I'm hoping it was a joke song. It even had lines where a rhyme should be, and there wasn't one. She's got to have recorded it as a satire on awful, sentimental Christmas songs, cause she's usually such a witty writer. My favourite Christmas album is Maddy Prior's "Tapestry of Carols", which I'm sure has been mentioned already. It's gorgeous. But the album we play most is "Holidays in Dementia", a Dr.Demento compilation which is quite hilarious.

Well, I rarely watch TV but a couple of nights ago while travelling, I caught the news. A Vancouver broadcaster was talking about his favorite Christmas song - he was even kind enough to sing a few lines of "The Little Donkey" - well -- I'll nominate that for song I least want to ever hear again. The song I have't heard yet this year that makes me smile is Rolf Harris' Six White Boomers..pathos without drip... and my fav album -- is a tie between Nana Mouskouri's Christmas and Bony M's Christmas Album.

Just when I thought I might be overdoing it with these weekly updates, I have been encouraged to hear from many folks this week that they enjoy receiving this blatant self-promotion (I don't know if you can call it promotion when it doesn't get out till the absolute last minute) Anyway... My guest TOMORROW NIGHT (Thurs, Dec 13) will be the great young guitarist DYLAN WICKENS - as a concession to our acoustic theme, he'll be bringing his "hollow body" electric guitar instead of his beloved Strat. But make no mistake, he's no Stevie Ray wannabe - he's got a style all his own. Come on down and check it out.

What a great night!!!!! We've been so busy lately, we haven't been able to get out to the Tuesday night open stage at Hugh's room. However, when we heard Nonie Crete was hosting the event on December 11, we made special arrangements to be there; it was worth it. The fun started when Nonie and sidekick, Eugene Rea, opened up the night with a couple of numbers. As usual they got an enthusiastic round of applause. Then Nonie began to get people up. She and Eugene were nice enough to act as back up player for one party who sings but can't play. The entertainment value was great. We enjoyed everyone we heard and were really delighted at the variety of styles. There was Wayne of Accoustic Traditions in Fergus, showing off his grand voice and style with a little bluegrass. A charming young lady from New Zealand with a kind of quirky jazzy sound. Some good looking and talented gentlemen, one after the other, singing and playing some great original material....and then came Tatervox. Tatervox are not what you'd normally expect to hear at Hugh's Room, but they were GREAT!!!!!! It sure was neat to see this great wack of people getting up, I think there were 10, and they were so coordinated and so melodic. And boy did they ROCK! They played all original material (which was really good) they reminded me a bit of several groups, one in particular a wild and crazy group from Holland from the 80's called Gruppo Sportivo, and maybe just a little bit ABBA..... Nonie is just the nicest host and was really great with all the performers, putting people at ease, teasing a little, encouraging, complimenting. But then to those who know and love her, that's hardly a surprise....Nonie is just a great all 'round person and a fabulous entertainer. Anyway, for us it was a fabulous evening out and a nice break from the work thing.

I was visiting in the TO area in November (from Winnipeg) and decided I'd see what all the raving was about at Hugh's Room. It was a tremendous evening and it's a great venue. I envy you having such a place to perform available on a regular basis. I was made very welcome by Trevor and the folks both listening and performing, (dashing all those notions ((I've never truly believed.. no really!!)) about westerners and the big white way.) I'll be back in the new year for more! Cheers and blessings of the season to all!

His unique blend of music and story- telling combined with his quick sense of humour is guaranteed to make his show an event that will not be forgotten. Today, 10 albums and and 28 years later, he is not only the roots for the new generation of Celtic musicians, he is also their comtemporary. The music, like its godfather has come full circle. For the first time in decades, young people, their parents and their grandparents are flocking to the same concerts. They're loving it, thriving on it, and buying it, both live and recorded. John Allan's appearances at major events like the Fort Nights concert in Halifax with such groups as Rawlins Cross and the Barra MacNeils, and as Grand Chieftain in the Fergus Highland Games, proves that he is in the middle of this Celtic Explosion. No matter what size or type of crowd, they all have one thing in common . . . John Allan gets 'em on their feet. - - - - - - - Bob Snider "A National Treasure. "[His songs are] brilliant in their simplicity, rawboned gems that resonate with honesty, clarity and wry social criticism." -- Edmonton Sun Toronto (& former Nova Scotian) singer-songwriter, Bob Snider, has been called "a living legend", "a talent not to be missed" and "author of some of the best Canadian songs of the decade". Bob's start came in 1986, busking on the street corners of Toronto, enjoying the audiences for his wry and often sardonic folk songs. Here he was discovered by local musicians, many of whom offered him opening slots at their performances. By 1991, Bob had become a well-liked figure and respected songwriter on the local scene, and had released two independent cassettes, "You" & "Live At The Free Times Cafe". In 1995, Bob signed a recording contract with EMI, releasing "Caterwaul & Doggerel" to unanimous critical acclaim. That same year, he received two nominations for the East Coast Music Awards! Bob's songs have been covered by several artists; most notably "What An Idiot He Is" was a featured track on the debut double platinum international release "Hi, How Are You Today", by fiddler, Ashley MacIssac. You may have seen him on one of his many appearances on national, regional and local television programs, including CBC's "Rita & Friends", "Ear To The Ground", "Petrie in Prime", as well as Much Music and Country Music Television. Bob's been no stranger to Canadian radio either, with special features on CBC's "Swingin' On A Star", "Morningside", "Gabereau" and "Definitely Not The Opera". If you've had a taste of Bob from these shows (or not!), you'll want to hear him live, performing many gems and delighting us with his wry social commentary and great wit. --------------------------------------------------------------- CONCERT CALENDAR Tue-Thur - Jane Siberry Dec 18-20 $25 Fri Dec 21 - Quartette $22 Sat Dec 22 - Blackie & The Rodeo Kings $18adv/$20 Fri/Sat - Julie Michels/George Koller Dec 28/29 $10 Mon Dec 31 - New Year's Eve w/ Sandy MacIntyre & Steeped In Tradition $55 - incl. 4 course dinner, concert, glass of champagne, party favours, tax & gratuities.

The National Arts Centre¹s Fourth Stage 8:00. P.M. Tix: $12.00 at the Folklore Centre. Penny Lang emerged on the North American music scene in the 1960s. Her powerful interpretations and originals in folk, blues, country and gospel styles have gained her a large and devoted following among musicians and music-lovers alike. Penny's reputation as "first lady of Canadian folk," is a-well deserved tribute to a woman who has sung the blues and paid her dues. Her new album "Gather Honey" is a collection of never released live and studio recordings that span almost two decades. Beginning in the early sixties with the traditional "Black Girl" to Penny¹s own "Senses Of Your Leave" the CD not only traces Penny¹s career but in many ways shows how folk/roots music has developed in Canada. At the age of 39, Michael Jerome Browne has already established himself as a veritable high priest of American traditional music and blues. Born in South Bend, Indiana, Browne picked up his first instruments - harmonica and guitar ­ at the age of nine. He is considered an expert banjo, fiddle and mandolin player and is heralded as a virtuoso in a myriad of American folk music styles ­ old time country, cajun, western swing, early jazz, R&B and electric blues. Michael¹s new album "Drive On" on Borealis Records proves beyond doubt that this man is a master folk musician.

I've forgotten the title. It's about a cat that gets put outside on Christmas Eve, then is forgotten. As the cat slowly succumbs to intense cold she sees a little mouse even worse off than she is. The cat shelters the mouse with her furry body and dies protecting him. Along comes Santa and sees the still-living mouse and the noble, self-sacrificing cat. I can NOT believe how sappy, maudlin, and sugary the song is, and the person I heard singing it had trouble carrying a tune, too.

Last week's Spring has gone, Winter's here, come on down to the Beach, take the chill off and get your toes-a-tapping tonight! Fiddles & Frets Music Presents MARK HAINES & TOM LEIGHTON Opening Act: JOANNE CRABTREE Date: Dec. 15th Time: 8pm Location: Bellefair United Church corner Bellefair Ave. & Queen St. Cost: $15 Info: 416-264-2235 ____________________________________________________ Please come and join us for a special concert, for two good reasons - to help me keep my series going at Bellefair and because it's not often that Mark Haines is up from PEI, so you want to catch him when you can. You'll have a chance to hear songs from their brand new recording "Hand to Hand". It'll be a rollicking good time! (I guess that's a third reason!). Those of you familiar with them know that already and for those of you who've never had the opportunity to hear them (you've been deprived!).... well, you'll be impressed and come away with huge grins on your faces! Mark and Tom have been at it a long time. They enjoy the success of being two of the most regular working musicians on earth. They entertain in a wide variety of venues for an even wider assortment of audiences. With their roots firmly planted in tradition, their limbs freely explore the outer limits. Their engaging humor and musicality have made them popular in several circuits. Their ramblings have led them down the highways of Ontario, through the back roads of Britain, along the shores of the Maritimes and into the mountains of New York. They perform a traditional and original repertoire influenced by Celtic, Maritime and North American roots. They have just recorded their third album, "Hand to Hand" after "Foot To Floor" and "Optimist's Jig". They have performed nationally on CBC radio "Jurgin Gogh's Disc Drive", Murray McLaughlin's "Swingin' On A Star"' "Morning Side", locally on "Later The Same Day" and the national broadcast of "The Canadian Old Time Fiddler's Contest" from Shelbourne Ontario. Mark and Tom have also toured England and Scotland playing dates from Portsmouth to Edinburgh and Scarborough to Bath. Venues included folk societies, coffee-houses, pubs, the Boddington Manchester Festival of the Arts and a live performance on BBC's "Into the Parlour". They were comissioned to write arrangements of Canadian traditional music for live shows at the Canada Pavillion, Epcott Center, Disney World, Florida. With stints at Pipers' Colleges, The Woods Music & Dance camp, Harbourfront (for the Borealis Recording Company's 5th anniversary), countless pub & concert venues around Ontario as well as directional involvement in theatre, Mark & Tom continue to delight audiences wherever they go. You'll find them stomping the hardwood and leading the chorus where-ever tunes are played, stories are told and songs are sung. ----------------------------------------------------------- Lillian Aida Wauthier Acoustic Harvest Folk Club: http://acousticharvest.cjb.net Fiddles and Frets Music Ontario Council of Folk Festivals Lillipat - Music for Young Children Mariposa Folk Foundation Email: lillianw@interlog.com Telephone: 416-264-2235/Fax: 264-2168 check out Colin Stewart: http://colinstewart.cjb.net/ "You must ensure, no matter the cost, that the legacy of these great ships is not lost." - John Prince "Well it's alright...

What amazing feedback you've gotten too; thanks to everyone for taking the time to pass on the messages. On a personal note, I have been so happy to see the open stage at Hugh's Room develop over the past 7 months. The performers that come out are just so amazingly warm and talented and every single week I am invariably surprised by something or someone that just exudes spirit. Recent highlights for me are Willow the Pine (Jacqui Tracy) dressed as a pine tree singing christmas songs; Sista singing some of the most amazing a capella I've ever heard; the unwaiveringly classy Peter Boyd closing off evenings with soulful guitar and voice; and a wonderful way to close the year for me, having a chorus of harmonious backup singers accompanying me on The Beatles' Oh Darlin'. This doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the wonderful talent that's been coming out and making the open stage such a wonderful event. I suspect we could (and maybe we should) devote an entire thread to singing praises of the unheard talent that is defining a new folk music right now. Folks like Nathan Caswell, Claire Jenkins, Richard Burnett and Nicole Dueck pop to mind for me, all of whom I've gotten to know at Hugh's Room. Here's to what may be found and heard in 2001. Cheers Trevor p.s.

After all, authors, who are, arguably, much more solitary and independant by nature even than musicians, have, over the last 20 years, succeeded remarkably in doing this with Canadian literature. I believe our roots music is as important to us as a nation and to our understanding of who we are as is Canadian literature, and I am frustrated, as I'm sure are most on this list, by the ongoing lack of media presence it has. This campaign could take many forms, from simple enquiries in your local Chapters about where the Canadian music section is, to pressure on local papers to publish reviews on Canadian roots music, to whatever we can think of. The Globe and Mail, for example, our "National" newspaper, to my knowledge does not ever feature Canadian music separately from its general reviews, and only occasionally includes FOlk, Roots, Blues and World categories at all, whereas Classical, Jazz and POp are standard. (I'm sure this cannot be justified by sales in the case of Classical and Jazz, but even if it could, it's a chicken and egg argument). Many people would, I think, want to "buy Canadian" for Christmas, if they, firstly, knew about it, and secvondly, could find it when they went to the store and didn't have to go on an intensive campaign to order it specially. While it is too late for this year, if we started pointing out the problem now to stores and the media and making them aware of our interests, perhaps we could see a significant improvement next year. To this end, I have written a note to the Globe's Music Review Editor, Robert Everett-Green, and the Star's editors Geoff Chapman and Greg Quill, as follows: I am very interested in supporting Canadian musicians by buying CDs for the various interests of the people in my life. In my busy life working and raising children, I am not always able to read the paper every day and wonder if you could tell me when you might have published a review section over the past month devoted to Canadian music of all genres - jazz, classical, pop, world, folk/acoustic/traditional. I know reviews of Canadian musicians are part of your general sections, but surely in this leadup to Christmas, you must have featured Canadian music at some point which I missed? Please let me know.

In short Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, was originally conceived when Linden and Fearing, almost simultaneously decided to record a Willie P. Bennett song. They placed one quick call to Tom Wilson, a known Willie P. fan, and "Blackie" was formed. The enthusiasm, creativity and experience this group brings to the stage is a testament to their inspired musical commitment as they infuse their music with a rare, tangible, sonic quality --the results are simply magic. The sheer fun these guys have as "Blackie" is infectious, and this is a rare show not to be missed.

Don't want to be a pain in the butt, but she singled out three writers (one on the Globe, two on the Star) all of who do a VERY good job of covering Canadian artists, even though one of them (Geoff Chapman) only covers blues and jazz. Wrote Anne, in part: > I am frustrated, as I'm sure are most on this list, by the ongoing >lack of media presence it > has. This campaign could take many >forms, from simple enquiries in your local > Chapters about where the Canadian music section is, to pressure on local >papers to publish reviews on Canadian roots music, to whatever we >can think of. In fact, I think that "roots music" has quite a bit of media presence, even though it's not labeled as such. Its presence is at least equal to its sales importance - and live performances are often previewed/reviewed. Daily nnewspapers, in particular, are under the gun to appeal to younger audiences while not losing their older readers - they have to cover current forms of pop music, and thank God they do; I remember a time when ANY pop music coverage in this city was a miracle, and thank the pioneers, Ritchie Yorke and Peter Goddard, for kickstarting the sort of coverage all kinds of popular music receives now. >The Globe and Mail, for example, our "National" newspaper, to my >knowledge does not ever feature Canadian music separately from its general >reviews, and only occasionally includes FOlk, Roots, Blues and World >categories at all, whereas Classical, Jazz and POp are standard. ( I'm really sorry, but I think Anne's dead wrong on this. Robert Everett Green (a man with an amazing understanding of an enormous range of music) has certainly covered roots music, so has their ascerbic and highly intellectual Carl Wilson (he especially likes alt-y country stuff), and Brad Wheeler is covering blues consistently. Mark Miller is probably the best-respected jazz writer in Canada. On the Star, Greg Quill (himself a roots singer-songwrtier) and Vit Wagner both cover rootsy artists all the time; and, in fact, Greg's record reviews are clearly labeled "Roots". On the National (Com)Post there is no real arts coverage of anything, and The Sun doesn't have a writer who's prepared to go to bat for "our" sorta music. However, Anne's structures against the Globe and the Star are seriously mis-directed. Elsewhere in Canada, there's TONS of roots coverage. Norm Provencher and Pat Langston in Ottawa, John Kendle in Winnipeg, Peter North in Calgary and folk in Calgary all cover roots with quality writing and a solid understanding in the daily press. As to separating "Canadian" music from everything else, I prefer to have Canadian stuff stand on the same grounds as everything else - Anne knows which artists are Canadian, and which ain't.

All the best, Lisa Weitz -------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Dec 21 - Quartette 8:30, $22 "There have been few musical moments more exciting than the appearance and performance of the four women who make up Quartette." Peter Gzowski, Morningside, CBC Radio Since their first appearance at Toronto's Harbourfront venue in the summer of 1993, Quartette has quickly become one of the most electrifying collaborations on the Canadian music scene. The four women - Sylvia Tyson, Caitlin Hanford, Cindy Church, Gwen Swick - combine formidable individual talents into an astonishing whole. The soaring harmonies and unique arrangements create a musical mosaic with flavours of R&B, swing, Cajun, bluegrass, and gospel, all solidly rooted in traditional country music. During their inaugural year, these four talented singer/ songwriters were featured on CBC's popular national radio show, Morningside with host Peter Gzowski, appeared twice on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion, and toured across Canada playing festivals and concerts. Requests for bookings were non-stop. In September of 1994 they received the Canadian Country Music Association's award for best vocal collaboration, and in 1995 & 1996, they received a Juno nomination for best country group...

The band was conceived when Linden and Fearing, almost simultaneously, decided to record the songs of one of Canada’s greatest unsung musical talents – Willie P. Bennett. Following one quick call to Tom Wilson (a known Willie P. fan) the group was formed and the debut album High or Hurtin’ was recorded between December ’95 and January ’96, with Linden assuming the producer’s role. After a JUNO nomination, cross-Canada tour dates, and a wave of critical acclaim for High or Hurtin’, the members carried on with their respective careers; Linden released Raised by Wolves and garnered a Grammy nomination for his work on A Tribute To Howlin’ Wolf’; Fearing released his JUNO nominated Industrial Lullaby and secured a US deal for the record that has yielded great reviews and substantial American tour dates; Wilson and Junkhouse released Fuzz, and had a hit with the song Shine. Last but not least, Willie P. Bennett received a JUNO award for Heartstrings in 1999. Given the exceptional talent that each of these artists posseses, combined with the great enthusiasm and regard for Willie P's songwriting, it is no surprise that this trio is such an inspiring success! The band doesn't play in Toronto often, so you won't want to miss what promises to be a magical night! Real audio and more information is available at . - - - - - - Rae Billing It's Rae's voice that hits you first - strong, passionate and infused with melancholy. With the formation of her band, Crybaby, in 1994, she won critical acclaim with their debut CD, Paintings. Toronto's Eye Magazine placed it alongside offerings from Lyle Lovett and Blackie & The Rodeo Kings as one of the Top Three Country Albums of 1996, with writer Greg Boyd praising "the weary sensuality " of Rae's vocals. The band also elicited kudos south of the border, specifically at Austin's famed South By Southwest festival in 1997. Among the many positive reviews, visiting Nashville Scene writer, Michael McCall, characterized their music as "tangy country soul" and called Crybaby one of the "notable moments" at the festival. After disbanding Crybaby in late '97, Rae retreated from the local club circuit to re-enter the studio of noted Toronto producer Peter J. Moore, whom she'd worked with on Paintings. This sonic sculptor has a well-deserved reputation for getting the best out of strong female voices, such as Cowboy Junkies Margo Timmins, Holly Cole and Oh Susanna. The collaboration was a huge success, with Now Magazine's Music Editor Tim Perlich awarding the self-titled album 4 stars; and Eye's Music Editor Mary Dickie describing it as "fresh as ever... full of wide-open spaces and bittersweet emotions." --------------------------------------------------------------- CONCERT CALENDAR Fri/Sat - Julie Michels/George Koller Dec 28/29 $10 Mon Dec 31 - New Year's Eve w/ Sandy MacIntyre & Steeped In Tradition $55 - incl. 4 course dinner, concert, glass of champagne, party favours, tax & gratuities.

Richard's letter asserted that media were already pro-Canadian in fair proportion to the music's presence. Another perspective. The music industry has been complaining about a drop in sales, if not an outright lack of profit in CD sales. Parallel to this has been the booming growth in off the stage sales of product. This is where the independent artists have been doing well. Deferring to both Anne's and Richard's greater longevity in the industry, I can only say that since 1981, when Rasputin's opened its doors I have watched the acoustic artists move from album to tape, to CD (but sadly Richard I never met anyone who put out an 8 track) with associated production costs rising, lowering, and rising again achieving accessibility of recording and production for even the beginners. The net result has been a flooding of the scene with CDs available at 'live' venues. I would suggest that the target market for acoustic artists are the people who go out to listen to, or dance to, these artists in a live venue. Do people who buy Joe Hall CDs also buy American Pop recordings? I get to hear artists in a wide variety of styles with their companion audiences who in turn appear to have preferred tastes in music. My observation is that artists are often more open minded about music than their fans. Go ahead and pressure media, and CRTC. If it works congratulations. In my mind it is up to the artists to create their own scene. If this means going in non-traditional directions to generate interest, go for it. After all who is better set up to think outside the box? House concerts, CD promos in record stores, festivals, busking, movie sound tracks, music for theater, concerts at Rasputin's, Rogue Folk Club or Hugh's, summer picnics (open invites to your neighbourhood park), guest appearances in schools, churches, old age homes, and out of the trunk of your car. Musicians take their work seriously, as do fans. But the rest of the public will never see music as work; its just play.

One of the first things they asked was "How's Enoch Kent?" Enoch is a legend in Scottish traditional circles, however, after moving to Canada he retired from the scene. Fortunately, Tam Kearney and Jim Strickland bumped into to him at Yorkdale - "You're Enoch Kent - you're playing at Fiddler's Green" Tam is alleged to have said (or such like). Thus a long tradition was started for Toronto folk audiences. Enoch celebrates a milestone birthday today and we want you to help us celebrate. A long time friend and great supporter of the Cloud, he has always come out to save the day when last minute cancellations have occurred, and of course he has always hosted the Burns Night. Thus, we want to show our appreciation by hosting this celebration. Joining Enoch will be Tam and Ian and as many friends and musicians as we can muster. And, James Gordon is coming down to record the show - a rare event indeed!.To quote Enoch from the Burns Night - we'll have a "Stramash" of an evening. Do come and help celebrate! _______________________________________________________ The Flying Cloud meets at the TRANZAC (292 Brunswick Ave, Toronto - between Spadina and Bathurst, just south of Bloor) on Sundays (unless otherwise stated). Concerts start at 8 pm with the doors opening at 7:30 pm. Tickets are at the door, except where advance tickets are available. The concerts are in the Main Hall at the TRANZAC which is smoke-free, though smokers are welcome to use the members lounge should they wish.

One of the main reasons for this, of course, is that the CDs aren't available in stores. There's all sorts of evidence to indicate that for every sale off stage, you can sell two at retail - word of mouth is the best salesman there is, and the person who buys a record at a show that impressed them will, if they do like the record, make a point of playing it and recommending it to friends who weren't at the show, so THEY go off to buy it retail... Where, of course, is probably isn't there. And the buyer gets the new "whatever" record instead. Record stores simply can't afford the shelf space, time, or staff with the knowledge to sell "specialist" music - and the fact that Sam's is no longer with us (but wait for the resurrection, after Christmas ) hasn't helped; the major stores in the chain were supportive of Canadian independent roots artists, even if uncle Sam, in the end, shafted the distributors like Festival who handle this sort of music. But we're talking media coverage here (or we were, anyway); Anne's view is that Canadian artists don't get a fair shake in the media, my view is that - by and large - they do. However, pressuring the CRTC, which Dean mentioned (though I don't recall Anne doing so) is pointless. What that organization, the guardian of the public airwaves, has done is reprehensible. Yes, they've upped Canadian Content to 35 per cent (which I don't think radio can reasonably handle), but in exchange they've allowed the major radio conglomerates to expand from two stations per market each to however many they can buy. Result: Even less diversity on the commercial airwaves; they're ALL playing the same .001 per cent of the music released. In Toronto, for instance, there's not one commercial station covering country - which has had a terribly damaging effect on the entire country music industry in Canada. What no-one has mentioned, but I will, is what a superb job the CBC does in spreading the word about Canadian music. For whatever success "our" music has in this country, God bless the Corp. Flawed though they well may be, they've carried the standard for Canadian acoustic music, folk, blues and a lot of other stuff. We should thank our lucky stars - and any CBC programmer you know!

Alistair Anderson was a founding member of the High Level Ranters, an influential English group of the late sixties and seventies, promoting music from their home area of Northumberland in northern England. He is an excellent English concertina player, and also plays Northumbrian pipes. We saw him in New Zealand in about 1980. Craig Harris, of the All-Music Guide says: "In addition to founding the Rothbury Traditional Music Festival, he helped to form Folkworks, a folk music development agency that has produced numerous festivals and workshops". He is still going strong, and I see he is one of the featured performers at the "Four Fools Folk Festival" somewhere in England next June (as is Tanglefoot, for your information). Hope this helps.

Well ... Nonie & I are at last releasing our holiday CD - literally today! We should have copies of it in Twelfth Night (where Carden Music used to be) in Guelph, within the next day or so, as well as Twelfth Night and Wordsworth Books in Kitchener. Best to phone first to make sure they're in. Below, I've pasted in the press release, that will tell you more about it. Wishing you & yours a peaceful, joyful holiday. Brenda http://www.guelphonline.com/openbookings ------------------------------------ For Immediate Release "Nonie Crete and Brenda Lewis Release a Seasonal CD for All: "Holidays in Harmony" A year and a half ago, Guelph's Brenda Lewis and Fergus' Nonie Crete http://www.noniecrete.com joined their voices to create the distinctive vocal harmonies that audiences have come to expect from them whenever they perform live in concert together. They are pleased to at last be launching their first CD as a duo; a limited edition release titled: "Holidays in Harmony". For this recording, they are calling themselves the "Snow Angels". "Holidays in Harmony" is a selection of songs that befit the wonder of the season and the wish for peace in the world - borrowed from the traditions of gentle Christmas ballads, to haunting Chanukah pieces in Yiddish and Winter Solstice rounds. The spare, lovely arrangements focus on the clarity of Nonie's voice combined with the warmth of Brenda's and are enhanced by the sweet mandolin and penny whistle of Eugene Rea - and of course, Nonie's ever-tasteful guitar and harmonica. As well, there is a very special guest appearance from Nonie's angelic-voiced 11-year-old daughter: Kathleen - her recording debut. The CD was recorded at "Rea Studios" http://www.reastudios.com engineered by Eugene Rea (musician's bio at same website)and co-produced by all three musicians. Huge thanks to Eugene for his dedication to the project and for doing such a fine job! "Holidays in Harmony can be purchased beginning this Friday at the following stores in SW Ontario: "Wordsworth Books" in Kitchener-Waterloo , "Twelfth Night" in both the Guelph and Kitchener-Waterloo locations, and, "The General Store" in Elora. To order copies of this CD, call: 519-843-2960. Some Bio info below. - 30 - ~ Bio for Nonie Crete ~ "Whether she's singing blues or ballads, this is a voice that will knock your socks off! Also a great guitar player and harpist, Nonie is a solid entertainer who impresses everyone who hears her" (Paul Mills aka "Curly boy Stubbs") "Incredible energy. Tremendous force. A strong and beautiful voice. From one small Fergus woman, destined for greatness." (Bonnie Ewen, Editor, Guelph Mercury) Read many more rave reviews & her complete bio on Nonie's website: http://www.noniecrete.com/cretenews.htm ~ Bio for Brenda Lewis ~ (* I don't have my own website, yet!) "Her rich, full-bodied voice is an elastic instrument; especially in songs that speak to the heart; whether choosing a jazz standard or a song from a contemporary songwriter, Lewis has impeccable taste." "EMERGING VOICES: "(Sarah) Harmer, and, Guelph's own BRENDA LEWIS proved that they deserve to be in the spotlight - From Brenda's appearance at "Hillside Festival" with renowned musicians: Tony Quarrington & Cowboy Junkies' Jeff Bird (Robert Reid, Entertainment, Kitchener-Waterloo Record) "If you're looking for laid-back sounds from a red-hot mama, this is the lady for you ... Love her style - one strong set of pipes, and, wow - what great lyrics! (Trudy Mouat, Publisher, THE SOVEREIGN (August, 2000) Formerly best known for her soulful vocals and heartfelt songwriting in acoustic eclectic duo: "Lewis & Molesworth", Guelph's Brenda Lewis has made a seamless transition into the world of jazz and blues, taking the audience back to the days of vintage standards and bluesy torch songs. She currently performs in duo, trio and full-band with: renowned Toronto jazz guitarist and JUNO Award-winning producer "Tony Quarrington - as well as many other well-known jazz players. Together, they have most recently tackled steamy Yiddish Cabaret Torch standards! Brenda's roots are still firmly planted in the folk tradition and the music of foreign languages. She maintains her connection to acoustic music in duos with fine Guelph and area musicians: Nonie Crete, Ian Molesworth, and, Eddie Douglas, treating audiences to haunting, traditional-style ballads, country folk & blues and warm, textured vocal harmonies.

BOOOOOOOOOO. reply to mitch... when the presenters who first heard this info in ottawa (october) we were told that there would *not* likely be reciprical responses from IMN in the u.s. because canada immigration had/has little influence. in fact, when we talked about organizations that might, APAP was cited as a body that *does* have influence on the IMN. on the folk alliance world music list some presenters have identified themselves as being involved in these policy discussions. there may yet be hope, but lobbying through APAP, not the af of m, or cdn govt are the best routes in my opinion. APAP is held every january in nyc and is attended by a relatively small number of cdn presenters, agents and artists. if i'm not mistaken, the $1k fee you refer to mitch is the *fast track* option offered to those who don't want to wait for the 90 day processing. the increase to 90 days is indeed nasty, and another topic touched on at the FAworld listserv. for those who might want to join that group, try: The fa-worldmusic list is now automated. to subscribe send an e-mail to majordomo@lists.his.com with the message "subscribe fa-worldmusic" by itself in the body. -derek andrews ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ workday mailto:derek@harbourfront.on.ca - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From blues@ican.net Thu Dec 20 00:21:53 2001 Date: Thu Dec 20 00:21:53 2001 From: derek andrews blues@ican.net Subject: [mplpost] FAworld listserv for those interested in a world music discussion group that involves artists and organizers throughout north america and europe, consider joining via: The fa-worldmusic list is now automated. to subscribe send an e-mail to majordomo@lists.his.com with the message "subscribe fa-worldmusic" by itself in the body. -derek andrews ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ workday mailto:derek@harbourfront.on.ca - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From aleder@interlog.com Thu Dec 20 10:40:25 2001 Date: Thu Dec 20 10:40:25 2001 From: aleder aleder@interlog.com Subject: [mplpost] Anne Lederman's complaint Hmmm, interesting responses. Dean's comment that more CDs are sold off the stage than in stores merely supports my point that the music is unavailable elsewhere. But I also believe there is a much larger potential audience out there for roots music, and that both aspects of the campaign are important. As Richard points out, media coverage and word of mouth from enthusiastic suppporters is at least partially wasted if people can't find the CDs in the stores. There are also a lot of people in this country who may not have the opportunity or the time to go to a concert but would love to buy the CD. Further, I am constantly meeting people who have never been to a folk venue and aren't really aware of them, but love the music when they get a chance to hear it. I have met others who don't want to bring acoustic artists to their concert venues because they've never heard of them, and think that if they aren't household names that they can't be any good. This reminds of the situation in Ireland in the 60s regarding Irish traditional music - it was almost dead. No one knew about it, few cared. Now, everyone knows what it is and can get it easily if they want to. Some love it, many hate it, but they at least have the opportunity to form an opinion and check it out in virtually any store (ironically, even in Canada - try finding a Jean Carignan CD in Canada. By the way, he's a hero in Ireland). Richard's defence of particular reviewers does not change my original position. I am not attacking individuals, nor criticizing them for the work that they do do. In fact, I hope to enlist them as allies. After all, individual reviewers do not set the policies for a whole paper. But I maintain that the Folk/Roots/World category(s) appear far less often than Classical, Jazz and Pop, whereas it should be standard. In my view, we should have a Canadian Roots category and an International FOlk/Blues/World category in papers. Canadian Roots, to me, means all music made by Canadian artists based on older folk and cultural traditions, no matter the origin of those traditions. This would then include all Canadian blues and world artists, as well as singer songwriters,"celtic" musicians, Native and Inuit music etc. The International category is for artists from outside the country. Once again, we should take a lesson from the publishing world. I discover many great books in the Canadian sections of bookstores by authors of whom I have never heard, and so, could not possibly look up by name. But I know they are writing from a Canadian perspective, sharing at least certain aspects of my culture, and so I am interested in what they have to say - something on the dust jacket catches my eye, the store clerk recommends it etc. Similarly, if people could browse in a Canadian section of their CD stores throughout the country, I am willing to bet that sales of Canadian music would increase. If this sounds nationalist and protectionist, it is. Our cultural history, and our abiltiy to create contemporary artistic expressions out of it is captured in our Roots music. This is OUR music, and I feel that we all should have every opportunity to know about it and to hear it. While I am glad for what the CBC and particular writers do, sometimes I feel we act like dogs gratefully accepting the crumbs from the table. CBC is supposed to promote Canadian culture, it's their mandate and it's paid for out of our money. It is our job to make sure they continue to do it as well as possible, by offering constant feedback - congratulations on jobs well done, constructive criticism when necessary, and ideas for new and interesting programs continually. If we spend all our time being pathetically grateful for the fact that they are dong it at all (and no, Richard, this is not directed at you), when will we address the questions of whether or not it might be done better, and how? I want to see critical debate about our music. I would like to know that the average Canadian had at least heard of Connie Kaldor or James Keelahan, or might be able tell the difference between Natalie McMaster and Scott Woods (and yes,it wasn't too long ago that no one would have heard of any fiddler, but it's time to move on). I would like to be able to tell people where they can get my CD other than at my house, and my local coffee shop (Alternative Grounds on Roncesvailles - a wonderful place). Anyway in the past couple of days (away from the Maplepost response), I have further refined my suggestions. Aside from reviews, papers have many Special Secions and Features and I intend to propose a couple. I will even offer to write on subjects I feel qualified to cover, like a thumbnail survey of Canadian fiddle music available on CD and where to get it (if they go for it, I will be consulting my fiddle colleagues throughout the country for their input). I encourage other Mapleposters to do the same - make your knowledge more public. I also intend to write a letter to Heather Reisman suggesting just such a Canadian CD section for her stores, which could then be subdivided into Classical, Jazz, Roots and Pop artists.
