The world IS different. So many tears have been shed, so much fear has been generated, so many words have been written. Memorial silence, prayers, compassion, and the need to go forward in peace are all required. More news about Stony Plain Records and its artists. _____________________________________________________ This month: 1) Stony Plain signs Chris Thomas King 2) Gillian Welch reissues are on their way 3) Long John Baldry's tribute to Leadbelly's music 4) More honours for Stony Plain 5) Quick notes from the Stony Plain news desk 6) Four easy ways to keep in touch with us _____________________________________________________ 1) STONY PLAIN SIGNS CHRIS THOMAS KING Stony Plain has signed a recording contract with Chris Thomas King, the young New Orleans guitarist and singer who's been recording what he calls "21st Century Blues" since 1986. His first release on Stony Plain is The Legend of Tommy Johnson (SPCD-1279), and it's set for release in Canada on October 23. It's his eighth album; his previous releases have sold a total of more than 200,000 to date. (Insiders know what an astonishing figure that is for blues artists these days!) Those who have seen O Brother Where Art Thou will have been impressed by Chris' sensitive portrayal of blues singer Tommy Johnson, who, while no relation to the better-known Robert Johnson, WAS one of the pioneers of the Delta blues idiom, along with Son House and Charley Patton. His contribution to the 2 1/2-million selling soundtrack brought him additional attention, and he is featured in the documentary Down from the Mountain, as well as its accompanying soundtrack. He will continue to tour as part of a tribute to Muddy Waters, and there will be increased touring next year as the cast of O Brother take the film's music to concert audiences around the world. Expect to see him on the Canadian folk festival circuit in 2002. The new Stony Plain album features an acappella version of O Brother, and what will be a new classic, John Law Burned Down the Liquor Sto'. Oh, and one more thing: He'll be featured in a Pepsi commercial featuring one of his own songs; look for it on the nearest TV set throughout October, November and December. Stony Plain has distributed Chris' Blind Pig releases in Canada in the past, and we warmly welcome Chris to the Stony Plain family. ____________________________________________________ Following the successful release in Canada of Time (The Revelator) (SPCD-1278), Stony Plain is reissuing her two critically-acclaimed previous releases. Her 1996 debut, Revival (SPCD-1280) was nominated for a Grammy, and was featured on almost every Top 10 list that year. Robert Hilburn, the L.A. Times writer who's not known for boosting everything that crosses his desk, wrote that Revival "demonstrates a spark and commitment that should endear her to anyone, from country and folk to adult pop and rock." Her 1998 release, Hell Among the Yearlings (SPCD-1281) was equally warmly received; Guitar Magazine was one of many which voted it one of the Best Albums of the Year. Like its predecessor, Hell Among the Yearlings was produced by T-Bone Burnett. Smart retailers in Canada are racking the three Gillian Welch records next to the O Brother soundtrack, as well as in the folk and country sections. Both the reissues will be available in stores October23. _____________________________________________________ 3) LONG JOHN BALDRY'S TRIBUTE TO LEADBELLY The veteran British bluesman Long John Baldry - who's lived in Canada for almost two decades - will release his most unusual record for Stony Plain to date in October. Remembering Leadbelly is a tribute to the legendary balladeer, songwriter, 12-string guitarist, and blues singer - a "hard man" who was twice jailed for murder, and whose remarkable recordings for the Smithsonian, produced by Alan Lomax, in large part inspired the early British folk, blues and skiffle scenes that changed the direction of British pop music so drastically in the '50s and '60s. Among the musicians touched by Leadbelly's genius was a lanky 15-year-old an ocean away in Britain - and Baldry's versions of the songs that touched him so long ago are shaped by the way British artists like Ken Colyer, Lonnie Donegan, Chris Barber and Alex Campbell intepreted them. The record will be released in Canada in November, and in the United States, the UK, and other territories early in the new year. John, meanwhile, says it's the best project he's ever done, and it's enhanced by comprehensive sleeve notes and bonus track interviews with the singer and with Alan Lomax, the musicologist who sprang Leadbelly from jail and who introduced his music to the world. _____________________________________________________ 4) MORE HONOURS FOR STONY PLAIN Stony Plain was chosen Independent Country Label of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards held early in September in Calgary. This was the sixth year in a row that the label has been honoured by the CCMA. Stony Plain was also chosen Label of the Year at the Prairie Music Awards, he;ld in Edmonton last Saturday. _____________________________________________________ 5) QUICK NOTES FROM THE STONY PLAIN NEWS DESK * Hello Stranger, a cut from Billy Boy Arnold's Boogie 'n' Shuffle (SPCD-1266), is featured on Da Vinci's Inquest, a popular CBC-TV dramatic series that is also building a following in the United States. The show last year featured no less than five songs from the Stony Plain catalogue. * Bound for Movin' On, a retrospective two-CD set released by the Canadian Country Music Association to mark its 25th anniversary, includes Ian Tyson's The Gift (from the platinum-selling Cowboyography (SPCD-1102), and Gary Fjellgaard's Dance With This Old Cowboy,from The Best of Gary Fjellgaard (SPCD-1241). * Ian Tyson was inducted into the Prairie Music Hall of Fame last Saturday - the third person so honoured.

Guy Clark was having a time last night at Hugh's room with a new guitar,( a wonderful evening I might add) at one point he said, "we haven't become friends yet". I heard Greg Brown one night ,again with a new guitar, finally say, "Oh your gonna be one of THOSE guitars"! The 'weld it' joke I 1st heard from Homer and Jethro, who also said "Guitars are like women, if you want them to work, you just gotta keep fiddlin' with 'em".

I use medium strings and have not found any string able to accept this tension. The high E being a .010, the next guage would be a .007 or a .008. The .008 seems to be the prefered tension and sits nicely with the other tensions but like the .007s, breaks at pitch. The .009 is much too stiff, raises the action, though it doesn't break as easily. Here is my question to the guitarists on the list: Is anyone aware of a particular make of .008 string that might be suitable for this tension? We can rule out D'Addario, Ernie Ball and I don't believe Thomastiks can be purchased individually.

(CAMMAC is Canadian Amateur Musicians Musiciens Amateurs du Canada). The piece was Carmina Burana, the band was fabulous, the conductor was Colin Clarke who really has, like Kraemer, the kavorka, the singers could all sing and read. It was very exciting. Anyone can go to these readings - it's $3 for members, $5 for non-members. for sopranos, it's a chance to use those high obnoxious notes that people don't really want to hear. at the end, you feel like you've eaten a whole pile of wasabi. At least, that's my experience. so, what is my point? Okay, the next reading is of Scott McMillan's "Celtic Mass for the Sea", Oct.21. I think it will be at that church at Yonge and Heath. And they're looking for people who can play instruments that don't usually show up at these basically classical events. Specifically, mandolin, Celtic harp, Uileann Pipes, Whistle, plus two guitars. If you play any of these and think you'd like the fun of spending an afternoon playing in a really big group, get in touch with Bill Blackstone at (416)462-1712, or c/o - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From moirakc@internorth.com Mon Oct 1 13:44:44 2001 Date: Mon Oct 1 13:44:44 2001 From: Moira Cameron & Steve Goff moirakc@internorth.com Subject: [mplpost] RE: Tuning Stories Steve Lacey told a good one about Josh White. I saw something similar this summer at the Sudbury Northern Lights Festival. One of the headline acts was the group Leahy. The amphitheatre was truly packed--people were turned away at the gates. Leahy's high energy performance was doing its thing when all of a sudden, in the middle of a particularly fast paced reel, the bridge broke off of the lead fiddler's instrument. His siblings continued playing the tune as if nothing had happened, while he stood there in the middle of the stage staring in disbelief at his instrument. He looked at the audience. He looked again at his broken fiddle. Then he lifted the fiddle and made as if to fling it in to the audience in disgust. But he changed his mind and went to one of his brothers behind him. His brother traded instruments with him. He quickly checked the tuning of this fiddle, and once again took centre stage, taking up the tune his siblings had kept going. His brother disappeared back stage for a moment and reappeared with a new fiddle. He tuned it on stage and started playing it just in time for the conclusion of the piece. The audience immediately went wild with awe and appreciation. The whole thing was so well handled, it could have been staged. Very Impressive!

Saturday, October 6th 2001 - 8 pm at the Greystone’s Inn, 63 Broadway Orangeville. Grit Laskin is a premiere guitar maker. Grit Laskin is also a premiere folk entertainer who will give you a night of music you will remember for a long time. Note: The Greystones Inn has proved to be a great venue and they have been extremely accommodating. The candle lit tables and beautiful decor along with great acoustics have made the Greystones Inn the TRADITIONS FOLK CLUB's choice for our Coffee House sized concerts. All the pluses have created a negative - Lorraine McDonald's concert, in this 60 seat room, required turning down many people both by phone and at the door. PLEASE RESERVE YOUR SEAT BY PHONE, FAX OR E MAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID MISSING OUT. For a list of our upcoming events please check out our Web Site listed below. I cannot sign off without passing on my sincerest thanks to Lorraine McDonald, Curly Boy Stubbs and Bob Hewus and opening act, Jeremy Woodland. You gave us all an absolutely incredible night of music and fun. We had to plead with the audience to go home at closing time. It was hard to leave a room with such a strong energy level.

He was a pianist, singer and recording artist, and - later in his career - a movie actor and a television host. He was Hoagy Carmichael, and now his songs are the focus of an all-Canadian tribute to his music, featuring pianist Joe Sealy, bassist George Koller, and singer Cindy Church. The show was directed by Richard Ouzounian, The Toronto Star's drama critic, a well-known voice on CBC radio, and the writer, director or actor in more than 225 productions. The Nearness Of You, which will tour across Canada, features Carmichael classics like "Stardust", "Rockin' Chair", Georgia On My Mind", Ole Buttermilk Sky", "Up A Lazy River", "Two Sleepy People", "Skylark", "Lazy Bones", and of course, "The Nearness Of You". Hoagy Carmichael's words, chosen by Ouzounian, link the 20 songs, and are spoken by the musicians on stage.

Check these guys out! Their CD's been on constant rotation in my house - what an uplifting sound! Lillian ___________________________________________________________________ Fiddles & Frets Music Presents THE BILL HILLY BAND Opening Act: BILL USHER Date: Fri. Oct. 5th Time: 8pm Place: The Bellefair United Church, Bellefair Ave. & Queen St. in The Beach, east end Toronto Admission: $15 Info: 416-264-2235 ________________________________________________________ From B.C.'s beautiful coast comes this group of five exceptional musicians - they have just been selected to do an official showcase in the Folk Alliance Conference in Jacksonville, FL next February - all sharing a common purpose: to play timeless acoustic music with a passionate flair that captivates audiences of all ages. From a melange of European stylings to the rhythms of Latin America, and from musical coast to musical coast of North America, The Bill Hilly Band have forged a kind of sophisticated, down-home music all their own that's being celebrated in kitchens, dance halls, festivals and theatres across North America and beyond! Formed in 1996 by a group of already accomplished and successful Canadian musicians, the band quickly realized they had stumbled upon a unique combination of artistry, enthusiasm, and irresistible entertainment. Since then, audiences from Copenhagen to Cortes Island have thrilled to the the Bills' blend of choreographed on-stage antics and infectiously danceable music. Whether it's blistering, Brazilian mandolin melodies and the hilarious use of random objects (a mandolin solo with a candelabra?), breathtaking, virtuosic two-fiddle flights, outrageously exotic bowed banjo solos, or souful vocal renderings of the world's most hummable melodies, The Bills are a musical and visual joy to behold. Elders will reminisce, children will laugh and jump, and everyone in between will find themselves cheering, singing, and stomping their feet! The Bill Hilly Band's acoustic explosion is coming to town. So open your ears, put on your dancing shoes and get ready for a joyous musical ride. The Bill Hilly Band are: Chris Frye - guitar Marc Atkinson - Mandolin Adrian Dolan - Fiddle, Piano, Accordian Glen Manders - Bass Beau Klaibert - Fiddle What People Are Saying: "Engaging. Charming. Stunning Musicianship. These six 'Bills' put on one of the most delightful concerts we've ever had." - Jake Galbraith, Victoria Folk Guild "Deviously clever." - David Grierson, CBC Radio "Gawd they were great! The 'Bills' were a festival favourite. A totally crowd-pleasing, rollicking good time! A brilliant combination of fantastic energy and superior musicianship."-Tracy Summers, Coordinator, ICA Folk Fest, Victoria, BC, July/98 "This ultra talented quintet should be among Canada's ambassadors to the United Nations."

SOCAN is the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada and to sum it up, they pay royalties to songwriters and music publishers when their music is played live, on the radio, on TV or in films. Come to this comprehensive information session, ask your questions, and by the time you leave, you'll be an expert at tapping into performance royalties as another source of income. [On another SOCAN note, Tom Landa's (The Paperboys) name was mistakenly left out of the conference program...and I want you all to know, he is indeed part of the other SOCAN workshop: SOCAN Songs and Stories, 3pm Friday in the Mapleroom.] ************************************ HOTEL INFO If you're thinking about making a hotel reservation at the Four Points Sheraton Lakeshore, home of Folk Meet, don't forget to mention you're with Folk Meet, and receive the special conference rate. There has been some confusion with the hotel mis-reading our reserved block. As of Tuesday afternoon, there were 15 rooms left in hold for the conference. Call the office if you've been told there are no rooms left at all. We appreciate your help with this matter. ************************************ You can still register for Folk Meet online and over the phone up until Tuesday, October 9th. Then you're welcome to 'walk in' to the Four Points and we'll sign you up there (subject to availability).

Is there anyone hwo would like a roomie to share accommodation expenses at the Four Points Hotel? Or can someone suggest a cheaper hotel in the area of the conference?

But I would be surprised if the mere mention of a few names in a list would be problematic. The U.S. law is more developed in this area, and it even protects estates. One lawyer has made a significant living acting for the estates of Groucho Marx and Albert Einstein. I have worked some in this area, but not for several years. You might want to contact Paul Sanderson, a music law specialist in Toronto, who has written a book on music and law. He would be up-to-date, I would think.

You don't need their permission any more than you would need the Arizona state government's permission to mention the Grand Canyon in a song. If it were a song about one person (like "Clear the track, it's Eddie Shack") you might want to let that person know about it in advance as a courtesy. But even there, you're not under any obligation. A person's name is not only not considered intellectual property, it usually isn't even unique. - 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 Wed Oct 3 11:55:32 2001 Date: Wed Oct 3 11:55:32 2001 From: derek andrews blues@ican.net Subject: [mplpost] maple world @ maple post as subscribers to cdnfolk will know, gene and i have been discussing the morph of cdnfolk into one list, maple post. gene has advised cdfolkers that they will be moved over to mplpost over thanksgiving wknd. i have also been in touch with the subscribers to maple world, the tiny sister list that was created to discuss world music in canada, which had a brief period of active discussion, but has become less interesting of late. the following is a reply from anne lederman, which i consider to be an important perspective in this change. my initial post if found below. regards, derek. ~~~ From: aleder Subject: Re: [mplworld] should this list continue? Reply-To: mapleworld@icomm.ca I think the activity level here answers the question. It seems that globe-L and FAworld would serve our particular discussion needs and keep us in touch with those in other countries with similar interests - something that seems to make more sense on a world list than on a more locally-based folk list. It would also be great to see more "world" content on maplefolk. I think it is extremely important that the idea of "Canadian folk music" be as inclusive as possible. This is not the same thing as saying that all music is Canadian folk music. But what I am hoping more people come to realize is that African/South American (insert your favourite here) musicians who live and work in Canada are doing something uniquely Canadian. I think you would be hard pressed to find an immigrant musician in Canada who has not significantly changed what they are doing from what they might have done in "the old country". In my experience, within a couple of years, musicians have adapted to the Canadian environment in many different ways - instrumentation, arrangements, repertoire, compositional influences, so that the music they end up performing here is truly a Canadian music, not a transplant. Of course, a further point is that the distinction between "folk" in Canada and "world" is ideallogically unhealthy. Canadian "folk" musicians are all "world" musicians doing Canadian music. The distinction between "folk" and "world" implies a distinction between "us" and "them" or, at least a "we were here first" kind of approach which is best dispensed with. So, if the Mapleworlders were to join both Maplefolk and the other world groups, I believe we would all benefit.

But a day or two after his memorial service he walked back into town, skinnier but still alive and feisty. When they started performing the song, and recorded it, they had a phone call from the chap in question asserting that he deserved to be paid for the use of his name and story in public like that.

Their mother bought them a guitar, which naturally went to Ormsby, the oldest of the four Brothers. By the time they made it to their first gig with the guitar, it had gone terribly out of tune. Ormsby dutifully tried to play the instrument at the gig, but the results were disastrous. The guitar was then handed down to Jackie, who fell in love with the instrument. In the summer of 1938, tragedy struck the Washington family as Ormsby drowned in a swimming accident.

As a singer/songwriter with an acoustic guitar, he quickly fell into the folk scene, sharing stages with up and coming acts including Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot. As folk music migrated from the coffee houses and clubs to large scale festivals, so did Jackie's performances. He has performed at London's Home County Festival every year since its inception in 1975, and is an annual favourite in Sudbury. With several acclaimed recordings on Borealis Records, and numerous awards under his belt, Jackie Washington continues to perform to this day, often with his good friends Mose Scarlett and Ken Whiteley, delighting new fans and old friends at every stop.

The Iconic Folk Festival Performer

On his way from humble beginnings as a guitar slinging porter on the Canadian railroads to becoming one of the most recognizable and prolific performers in Canadian music, Borealis Records recording artist Jackie Washington has made countless appearances at folk festivals across the nation. The Ontario Council of Folk Festivals will honour the great accomplishments and contributions that Jackie Washington has bestowed upon the Canadian folk community by awarding him with the second annual Estelle Klein Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s Folk Meet as part of a Gala Dinner at the Palais Royale on Saturday October 13, 2001.

Tickets are available at the door and on the OCFF website at www.icomm.ca/ocff. Call 1 866 292 OCFF for info. Hailing from the Eastern edges of Canada, Prince Edward Island's own Lennie Gallant will open the show. Gallant's passion for intensive life experiences is reflected in the dramatic scenarios of his songs, underscored by strong balladic rhythm. Lennie's writing shines with authenticity, as it embodies a poetic lyricism about the everyday struggles, heartaches, and the dreams of people. While proudly exalting the rich traditions of Quebecois folk music, Les Batinses also incorporate an eclectic assortment of contemporary sounds into their music. The songs are vivid and danceable, and an air of celebration exists in every nuance of their performance. A fierce wit is evidenced in the surrealist lyricism, and the strength of musicianship becomes obvious as one listens to their weighty arrangements. Hugely popular in their home province of Quebec, Les Batinses are set to explode on the Canadian and international roots music scene. There are very few women in Canada who can sing the blues the way Rita Chiarelli does. Beyond the graceful power and stunning three octave range of her magnificent voice, exists an immensely talented artist who has built a reputation for her no-holds-barred performances across North America and Europe. With healthy doses of R&B and Rock & Roll thrown in, Rita Chiarelli promises a blistering end to the show. Join hundreds of like-minded music lovers who will be on hand when the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals lands on the shores of Lake Ontario this October with its 15th annual conference taking place October 11th through 14th.

Perfectly acceptable under all rules, provided you didn't say anything to slander or libel the party involved, and provided you didn't use the party's actual image, voice, etc. without permission -- that'd be a different story altogether. There are other, more farfetched things, that could also get you into trouble, such as impersonating that party, but let's assume we're not talking about anything that's that far off the wall. We're just writing and singing songs about historical events where the characters happen to still be alive. Likewise the original post about the song mentioning real people's names. That's perfectly OK, as long as you don't libel or defame the real people or use their own voices or faces without permission (and even at that, a hockey song using pictures of hockey players on the jewel box is still OK if the picture is owned by someone, such as the team or a TV network or newspaper, and given by the owner's permission, or if it is a stock photo, or by various other means.)

He will be in the studio with Ian Tamblyn, Fred Guignon and other musicians from the Ottawa area recording Into the Woods from October 3rd to the 18th. Most of the pre-production work is now complete; and Rodney and Ian have chosen the 13 songs which will comprise the CD. The graphic design is being done by David Koski Design and with art by Sudbury's Dave Wiewel and photographs by Red Rock's Michael Foulds, and Thunder Bay's Austin Cawlishaw a beautiful CD cover is assured. The album (scheduled for a pre-Christmas release) will feature 11 never before recorded songs, many of which Brown has composed in the past few months. A strong Northwestern Ontario theme runs throughout these songs - Journey's End, Casualty of War, Into the Woods, Before the People Came, The Forgotten Ones, Two Steel Rails (written by Tom LaBelle)- which all conjure up familiar images and remind us why we live in this part of the world. Brown will be joined by friends, Danny Johnson, Kim Erickson, Mel Henderson, Crystal Boggs, Damon Dowbak and others to play a sneak peek preview concert on Sat. Oct. 20th 8 p.m at the Unitarian Hall on Algoma Street in Thunder Bay. Tickets are on sale for $7 advance ( or $10 at the door) at LU Bookstore, HMV (intercity) Unitarian House and The Great Northwest Coffee Co. Email or call Liz at 886-1041 for more information. The Sneak Peek Preview Concert will feature the thirteen songs from Into the Woods as well as some rather obscure Rodney Brown tunes. Rodney has been busy digging up long lost songs from years gone by - songs that were never recorded or that are no longer available. So for those of you who just can't wait to hear the new CD - come out and get a sneak preview of Rodney Brown's newest CD. You'll hear some new songs never before played in public and some old almost forgotten tunes! --------------D3C4E01A4F76DFBBEEFE76BC Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Rodney Brown Sneak Peek Preview Concert

Most of the pre-production work is now complete; and Rodney and Ian have chosen the 13 songs which will comprise  the CD.  The graphic design is being done by David Koski Design and with art by Sudbury's Dave Wiewel and photographs by Red Rock's Michael Foulds, and Thunder Bay's Austin Cawlishaw a beautiful CD cover is assured.  The album (scheduled for a pre-Christmas release)  will feature 11 never before recorded songs, many of which Brown has composed in the past few months.  A strong Northwestern Ontario theme runs throughout these songs - Journey's End, Casualty of War, Into the Woods, Before the People Came, The Forgotten Ones, Two Steel Rails (written by Tom LaBelle)- which all conjure up familiar images and remind us why we live in this part of the world.
Brown will be joined by friends, Danny Johnson, Kim Erickson, Mel Henderson, Crystal Boggs, Damon Dowbak and others to play a sneak peek preview concert on Sat. Oct. 20th 8 p.m  at the Unitarian Hall on Algoma Street in Thunder Bay.  Tickets are on sale for $7 advance ( or $10 at the door) at LU Bookstore, HMV (intercity) Unitarian House and The Great Northwest Coffee Co. Email or call Liz at 886-1041 for more information.
The Sneak Peek Preview Concert will feature the thirteen songs from Into the  Woods as well as some rather obscure Rodney Brown tunes.  Rodney has been busy digging up long lost songs from years gone by - songs that were never recorded or that are no longer available.  So for those of you who just can't wait to hear the new CD - come out and get a sneak preview of Rodney Brown's newest CD.  You'll  hear some new songs never before played in public and some old almost forgotten tunes!

However, I was once singing "open that can" on The Elephant Show, and the producer made me take out the line "I'll get a Big Mac". so I changed it to "I'll eat downtown". I'd have thought MacDonald' would have been flattered and pleased, but the producers were nervous. imagine! But that was a corporate thing, which is different. I think most hockey players would be pleased, as any of us would be, to be included in a James Gordon song. nancy on 10/3/01 6:26 PM, Steve Lacey at masked@theedge.ca wrote: > > I dunno if you'll hear about this directly from the parties, but here goes. > The Gumboots, a Yellowknife folk group, wrote (and have performed many > times) a song about a fellow who got lost in the Barrens and who was > presumed dead by everyone including his common-law wife.

Hi, I wasn't going to mention this upcoming gig of mine, but have just discovered that the show, "The Midnight Special", being taped in Chicago (Chicago!!) on Saturday night, is syndicated throughout the states, and available up here in KINGSTON (CFRC), SASKATOON (CFCR), LENNOXVILLE (CJMQ) and SHERBROOKE (CJMQ). And, you can hear it on the net, either live (9-12 Sat.night) or within a week of the broadcast. Go to www.shout.net/special to find out how. "The Midnight Special", which has been running for many years, is hosted by Rich Warren, who's always been very kind about playing my stuff. (Obviously a man of discernment and taste.) We were on a panel together at last year's Folk Alliance in Vancouver -- the panel where you tell people what you think of the songs they've just played. Longest two hours of my life, I can tell you! WMFT holds live concerts on Saturday nights, and this weekend it's Bob Johnston and I. Bob is happy because they have a Steinway grand. (Sad he's a tuba player, haha. Actually, he does play the tuba, but he also dabbles on piano. Me I'm happy because I've never been in Chicago, and I know that my going will jumpstart the U.S. economy. Canada Council has generously given us a grant to cover our airfare, and that's making it possible for us to go. MERCI MERCI MERCI MERCI. I don't play in the States very often, so it was a big shock to have to shell out $160 or so for the work permit. (I think maybe NAFTA is not the big success we'd expected.) Please wish us luck! nancy white "Donations only accepted during business hours.

GLOBAL VILLAGE broadcasts its insightful documentary on the role the arts continue to play in the preservation of culture in Belgrade, beginning October 6, the first-year anniversary of the end of the Milosevic dictatorship. The documentary will be broadcast in two segments, beginning at 7 p.m. ET on October 6 and 13 on CBC Radio One. Travelling to Belgrade in the spring of 2000, Belgrade 2001 producers spoke to artists, animators, musicians and writers, as well as their colleagues at Radio B92, Belgrade’s then- alternative opposition radio station. The resulting program offers audiences a rare glimpse into the lives of the people who weren’t heard from on the daily news. Their extraordinary accounts illustrate how art has helped them maintain their culture and will play a role in bringing the once flourishing country back from the brink. “Music and arts have helped many people cope with the turbulence that engulfed them throughout the Milosevic dictatorship,” says GLOBAL VILLAGE producer Ann MacKeigan. “The artistic work that has come out of Belgrade will be one of the ways we recall this period of history, as well as one of the references by which future generations of Serbians will maintain their unique perspective on life.” Belgrade 2001 is accompanied by an award-winning Web site that expands on stories, provides in-depth background and enhances the audience’s ability to experience Belgrade as seen through the eyes of the program’s producers. Visit the site at www.cbc.ca /belgrade2001. Radio B92 features prominently in the arts and cultural life of Belgrade. CBC Radio One’s DNTO will offer an in-depth look at this “underground” radio station, also on October 6. DNTO is heard Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m. ET GLOBAL VILLAGE broadcasts news about music from around the planet to Canadians every Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on CBC Radio One.

This is right from the heart of someone that went through what could have been a terrible ordeal and turned out to be a wonderful expression of human kindness. True Tale of a Diverted Flight to Canada on 9/11 Another great story of pulling together for our fellow world citizens...... If you wondered about all those flights that were in the middle of the great blue Atlantic Ocean on the morning of September 11th, here is an up-close-and-personal story written by a Delta Airlines flight attendant en route from Frankfurt to Atlanta. This was the first accounting that I had read of one of the diverted flights to Canada. I found it both compelling and inspiring. And the question the writer poses at the end is a good one: "Why not?" We were about 5 hours out of Frankfurt flying over the North Atlantic and I was in my crew rest seat taking my scheduled rest break. All of a sudden the curtains parted violently and I was told to go to the cockpit, right now, to see the captain. As soon as I got there I noticed that the crew had one of those "All Business" looks on their faces. The captain handed me a printed message. I quickly read the message and realized the importance of it. The message was from Atlanta, addressed to our flight, and simply said, "All airways over the Continental US are closed. Land ASAP at the nearest airport, advise your destination." Now, when a dispatcher tells you to land immediately without suggesting which airport, one can assume that the dispatcher has reluctantly given up control of the flight to the captain. We knew it was a serious situation and we needed to find terra firma quickly. It was quickly decided that the nearest airport was 400 miles away, behind our right shoulder, in Gander, on the island of New Foundland. A quick request was made to the Canadian traffic controller and a right turn, directly to Gander, was approved immediately. We found out later why there was no hesitation by the Canadian controller approving our request. We, the in-flight crew, were told to get the airplane ready for an immediate landing. While this was going on another message arrived from Atlanta telling us about some terrorist activity in the New York area. We briefed the in-flight crew about going to Gander and we went about our business 'closing down' the airplane for a landing. A few minutes later I went back to the cockpit to find out that some airplanes had been hijacked and were being flown into buildings all over the US. We decided to make an announcement and LIE to the passengers for the time being. We told them that an instrument problem had arisen on the airplane and that we needed to land at Gander to have it checked. We promised to give more information after landing in Gander. There were many unhappy passengers but that is par for the course. We landed in Gander about 40 minutes after the start of this episode. There were already about 20 other airplanes on the ground from all over the world. After we parked on the ramp the captain made the following announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen, you must be wondering if all these airplanes around us have the same instrument problem as we have. But the reality is that we are here for a good reason." Then he went on to explain the little bit we knew about the situation in the US. There were loud gasps and stares of disbelief. Local time at Gander was 12:30 p.m. (11:00 a.m. EST) Gander control told us to stay put. No one was allowed to get off the aircraft. No one on the ground was allowed to come near the aircrafts. Only a car from the airport police would come around once in a while, look us over and go on to the next airplane. In the next hour or so all the airways over the North Atlantic were vacated and Gander alone ended up with 53 airplanes from all over the world, out of which 27 were flying US flags. We were told that each and every plane was to be off loaded, one at a time, with the foreign carriers given the priority. We were No.14 in the US category. We were further told that we would be given a tentative time to deplane at 6 p.m. Meanwhile bits of news started to come in over the aircraft radio and for the first time we learned that airplanes were flown into the World Trade Center in New York and into the Pentagon in DC. People were trying to use their cell phones but were unable to connect due to a different cell system in Canada. Some did get through but were only able to get to the Canadian operator who would tell them that the lines to the US were either blocked or jammed and to try again. Some time late in the evening the news filtered to us that the World Trade Center buildings had collapsed and that a fourth hijacking had resulted in a crash. Now the passengers were totally bewildered and emotionally exhausted but stayed calm as we kept reminding them to look around to see that we were not the only ones in this predicament. There were 52 other planes with people on them in the same situation. We also told them that the Canadian Government was in charge and we were at their mercy. True to their word, at 6 p.m., Gander airport told us that our turn to deplane would come at 11 a.m., the next morning. That took the last wind out of the passengers and they simply resigned and accepted this news without much noise and really started to get into a mode of spending the night on the airplane. Gander had promised us any and all medical attention if needed; medicine, water, and lavatory servicing. And they were true to their word. Fortunately we had no medical situation during the night. We did have a young lady who was 33 weeks into her pregnancy. We took REALLY good care of her. The night passed without any further complications on our airplane despite the uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. About 10:30 on the morning of the 12th we were told to get ready to leave the aircraft. A convoy of school buses showed up at the side of the airplane, the stairway was hooked up and the passengers were taken to the terminal for "processing". We, the crew, were taken to the same terminal but were told to go to a different section, where we were processed through Immigration and customs and then had to register with the Red Cross. After that we were isolated from our passengers and were taken in a caravan of vans to a very small hotel in the town of Gander. We had no idea where our passengers were going. The town of Gander has a population of 10,400 people. Red Cross told us that they were going to process about 10,500 passengers from all the airplanes that were forced into Gander. We were told to just relax at the hotel and wait for a call to go back to the airport, but not to expect that call for a while. We found out the total scope of the terror back home only after getting to our hotel and turning on the TV, 24 hours after it all started. Meanwhile we enjoyed ourselves going around town discovering things and enjoying the hospitality. The people were so friendly and they just knew that we were the "Plane People". We all had a great time until we got that call, 2 days later, on the 14th at 7 a.m. We made it to the airport by 8:30 a.m. and left for Atlanta at 12:30 p.m. arriving in Atlanta at about 4:30 p.m.. (Gander is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead of EST, yes!, 1 hour and 30 minutes.) But that's not what I wanted to tell you. What passengers told us was so uplifting and incredible and the timing couldn't have been better. We found out that Gander and the surrounding small communities, within a 75 Kilometer radius, had closed all the high schools, meeting halls, lodges, and any other large gathering places. They converted all these facilities to a mass lodging area. Some had cots set up, some had mats with sleeping bags and pillows set up. ALL the high school students HAD to volunteer taking care of the "GUESTS". Our 218 passengers ended up in a town called Lewisporte, about 45 Kilometers from Gander. There they were put in a high school. If any women wanted to be in a women-only facility, that was arranged. Families were kept together. All the elderly passengers were given no choice and were taken to private homes. Remember that young pregnant lady, she was put up in a private home right across the street from a 24 hour Urgent Care type facility. There were DDS on call and they had both male and female nurses available and stayed with the crowd for the duration. Phone calls and emails to US and Europe were available for everyone once a day. During the days the passengers were given a choice of "Excursion" trips. Some people went on boat cruises of the lakes and harbors. Some went to see the local forests. Local bakeries stayed open to make fresh bread for the guests. Food was prepared by all the residents and brought to the school for those who elected to stay put. Others were driven to the eatery of their choice and fed. They were given tokens to go to the local Laundromat to wash their clothes, since their luggage was still on the aircraft. In other words every single need was met for those unfortunate travelers. Passengers were crying while telling us these stories. After all that, they were delivered to the airport right on time and without a single one missing or late. All because the local Red Cross had all the information about the goings on back at Gander and knew which group needed to leave for the airport at what time. Absolutely incredible. When passengers came on board, it was like they had been on a cruise. Everybody knew everybody else by their name. They were swapping stories of their stay, impressing each other with who had the better time. It was mind- boggling. Our flight back to Atlanta looked like a party flight. We simply stayed out of their way. The passengers had totally bonded and they were calling each other by their first names, exchanging phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses. And then a strange thing happened. One of our business class passengers approached me and asked if he could speak over the PA to his fellow passengers. We never, never, allow that. But something told me to get out of his way. I said "of course". The gentleman picked up the PA and reminded everyone about what they had just gone through in the last few days. He reminded them of the hospitality they had received at the hands of total strangers. He further stated that he would like to do something in return for the good folks of the town of Lewisporte. He said he was going to set up a Trust Fund under the name of DELTA 15 (our flight number). The purpose of the trust fund is to provide a scholarship for high school student(s) of Lewisporte to help them go to college. He asked for donations of any amount from his fellow travelers. When the paper with donations got back to us with the amounts, names, phone numbers and addresses, it totaled to $14.5K or about $20K Canadian. The gentleman who started all this turned out to be an MD from Virginia. He promised to match the donations and to start the administrative work on the scholarship. He also said that he would forward this proposal to Delta Corporate and ask them to donate as well. Why, all of this? Just because some people in far away places were kind to some strangers, who happened to literally drop in among them? WHY NOT? --MS_Mac_OE_3085087068_87894_MIME_Part Content-type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable FW: The Great Tale of Delta 15

True Tale of a Diverted Flight to Canada on 9/11

Another great story of pulling together for our fellow world citizens......

If you wondered about all those flights that were in the middle of the great
blue Atlantic Ocean on the morning of September 11th, here is an
up-close-and-personal story written by a Delta Airlines flight attendant
en route from Frankfurt to Atlanta.  This was the first accounting that I
had read of one of the diverted flights to Canada. I found it both compelling
and inspiring.  And the question the writer poses at the end is a good one:
"Why not?"

We were about 5 hours out of Frankfurt flying over the North Atlantic and
I was in my crew rest seat taking my scheduled rest break. All of a sudden
the curtains parted violently and I was told to go to the cockpit, right
now, to see the captain. As soon as I got there I noticed that the crew
had one of those "All Business" looks on their faces. The captain handed
me a printed message. I quickly read the message and realized the
importance of it. The message was from Atlanta, addressed to our flight,
and simply said, "All airways over the Continental US are closed. Land
ASAP at the nearest airport, advise your destination."

Now, when a dispatcher tells you to land immediately without suggesting
which airport, one can assume that the dispatcher has reluctantly given up
control of the flight to the captain. We knew it was a serious situation and
we needed to find terra firma quickly. It was quickly decided that the
nearest airport was 400 miles away, behind our right shoulder, in Gander, on
the island of New Foundland. A quick request was made to the Canadian
traffic controller and a right turn, directly to Gander, was approved
immediately. We found out later why  there was no hesitation by the Canadian
controller approving our request. We, the in-flight crew, were told to get
the airplane ready for an immediate landing. While this was going on another
message arrived from Atlanta telling us about some terrorist activity in the
New York area.

We briefed the in-flight crew about going to Gander and we went about our
business 'closing down' the airplane for a landing. A few minutes later I
went back to the cockpit to find out that some airplanes had been hijacked
and were being flown into buildings all over the US. We decided to make an
announcement and LIE to the passengers for the time being. We told them that
an instrument problem had arisen on the airplane and that we needed to land
at Gander to have it checked. We promised to give more information after
landing in Gander. There were many unhappy passengers but that is par for
the course.

We landed in Gander about 40 minutes after the start of this episode. There
were already about 20 other airplanes on the ground from all over the world.
After we parked on the ramp the captain made the following announcement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must be wondering if all these airplanes around
us have the same instrument problem as we have. But the reality is that we
are here for a good reason." Then he went on to explain the little bit we
knew about the situation in the US. There were loud gasps and stares of
disbelief. Local time at Gander was 12:30 p.m. (11:00 a.m. EST) Gander
control told us to stay put. No one was allowed to get off the aircraft. No
one on the ground was allowed to come near the aircrafts. Only a car from
the airport police would come around once in a while, look us over and go on
to the next airplane. In the next hour or so all the airways over the North
Atlantic were vacated and Gander alone ended up with 53 airplanes from all
over the world, out of which 27 were flying US flags. We were told that each
and every plane was to be off loaded, one at a time, with the foreign
carriers given the priority. We were No.14 in the US category. We were
further told that we would be given a tentative time to deplane at 6 p.m.
Meanwhile bits of news started to come in over the aircraft radio and for
the first time we learned that airplanes were flown into the World Trade
Center in New York and into the Pentagon in DC. People were trying to use
their cell phones but were unable to connect due to a different cell system
in Canada. Some did get through but were only able to get to the Canadian
operator who would tell them that the lines to the US were either blocked or
jammed and to try again. Some time late in the evening the news filtered to
us that the World Trade Center buildings had collapsed and that a fourth
hijacking had resulted in a crash. Now the passengers were totally
bewildered and emotionally exhausted but stayed calm as we kept reminding
them to look around to see that we were not the only ones in this
predicament.

There were 52 other planes with people on them in the same situation. We
also told them that the Canadian Government was in charge and we were at
their mercy. True to their word, at 6 p.m., Gander airport told us that our
turn to deplane would come at 11 a.m., the next morning. That took the last
wind out of the passengers and they simply resigned and accepted this news
without much noise and really started to get into a mode of spending the
night on the airplane.

Gander had promised us any and all medical attention if needed; medicine,
water, and lavatory servicing. And they were true to their word. Fortunately
we had no medical situation during the night. We did have a young lady who
was 33 weeks into her pregnancy. We took REALLY good care of her. The night
passed without any further complications on our airplane despite the
uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. About 10:30 on the morning of the 12th
we were told to get ready to leave the aircraft.

A convoy of school buses showed up at the side of the airplane, the stairway
was hooked up and the passengers were taken to the terminal for
"processing". We, the crew, were taken to the same terminal but were told to
go to a different section, where we were processed through Immigration and
customs and then had to register with the Red Cross. After that we were
isolated from our passengers and were taken in a caravan of vans to a very
small hotel in the town of Gander. We had no idea where our passengers were
going.

The town of Gander has a population of 10,400 people. Red Cross told us that
they were going to process about 10,500 passengers from all the airplanes
that were forced into Gander. We were told to just relax at the hotel and
wait for a call to go back to the airport, but not to expect that call for a
while. We found out the total scope of the terror back home only after
getting to our hotel and turning on the TV, 24 hours after it all started.
Meanwhile we enjoyed ourselves going around town discovering things and
enjoying the hospitality. The people were so friendly and they just knew
that we were the "Plane People". We all had a great time until we got that
call, 2 days later, on the 14th at 7 a.m. We made it to the airport by 8:30
a.m. and left for Atlanta at 12:30 p.m. arriving in Atlanta at about 4:30
p.m.. (Gander is 1 hour and 30 minutes ahead of EST, yes!, 1 hour and 30
minutes.)

But that's not what I wanted to tell you. What passengers told us was so
uplifting and incredible and the timing couldn't have been better. We found
out that Gander and the surrounding small communities, within a 75 Kilometer
radius, had closed all the high schools, meeting halls, lodges, and any
other large gathering places. They converted all these facilities to a mass
lodging area. Some had cots set up, some had mats with sleeping bags and
pillows set up. ALL the high school students HAD to volunteer taking care of
the "GUESTS".

Our 218 passengers ended up in a town called Lewisporte, about 45 Kilometers
from Gander. There they were put in a high school. If any women wanted to be
in a women-only facility, that was arranged. Families were kept together.
All the elderly passengers were given no choice and were taken to private
homes. Remember that young pregnant lady, she was put up in a private home
right across the street from a 24 hour Urgent Care type facility. There were
DDS on call and they had both male and female nurses available and stayed
with the crowd for the duration. Phone calls and emails to US and Europe
were available for everyone once a day. During the days the passengers were
given a choice of "Excursion" trips. Some people went on boat cruises of the
lakes and harbors. Some went to see the local forests. Local bakeries stayed
open to make fresh bread for the guests. Food was prepared by all the
residents and brought to the school for those who elected to stay put.
Others were driven to the eatery of their  choice and fed. They were given
tokens to go to the local Laundromat to wash their clothes, since their
luggage was still on the aircraft. In other words every single need was met
for those unfortunate travelers. Passengers were crying while telling us
these stories. After all that, they were delivered to the airport right on
time and without a single one missing or late. All because the local Red
Cross had all the information about the goings on back at Gander and knew
which group needed to leave for the airport at what time. Absolutely
incredible.

When passengers came on board, it was like they had been on a cruise.
Everybody knew everybody else by their name. They were swapping stories of
their stay, impressing each other with who had the better time. It was mind-
boggling. Our flight back to Atlanta looked like a party flight. We simply
stayed out of their way. The passengers had totally bonded and they were
calling each other by their first names, exchanging phone numbers,
addresses, and email addresses.

And then a strange thing happened. One of our business class passengers
approached me and asked if he could speak over the PA to his fellow
passengers. We never, never, allow that. But something told me to get out of
his way. I said "of course". The gentleman picked up the PA and reminded
everyone about what they had just gone through in the last few days. He
reminded them of the hospitality they had received at the hands of total
strangers. He further stated that he would like to do something in return
for the good folks of the town of Lewisporte. He said he was going to set up
a Trust Fund under the name of DELTA 15 (our flight number). The purpose of
the trust fund is to provide a scholarship for high school student(s) of
Lewisporte to help them go to college. He asked for donations of any amount
from his fellow travelers.

When the paper with donations got back to us with the amounts, names, phone
numbers and addresses, it totaled to $14.5K or about $20K Canadian. The
gentleman who started all this turned out to be an MD from Virginia. He
promised to match the donations and to start the administrative work on the
scholarship. He also said that he would forward this proposal to Delta
Corporate and ask them to donate as well.

Why, all of this? Just because some people in far away places were kind to
some strangers, who happened to literally drop in among them? WHY NOT?

In fact, it is our (not especially onerous) civic duty to tune-in. Individually the radio documentary and the website (http://www.cbc.ca/belgrade2001) are impressive. Taken together as intended, ie. viewing the website while listening to the radio broadcast, leaves the lost art of film strips in the dust. Forget 'tinkerbell ringing her bell', this is an impressive achievement - the positive potential of media convergence realized in the service of something far more essential than the global market. I hope Belgrade 2001 wins another 1st prize from Deutsche Welle (http://www.radio.cbc.ca/programs/global/kudos.html) -- would be nice if there was a domestic equivalent... Anyway, just the blatantly biased opinion of one global villager. See you at FolkMeet.

Eileen has been praised as "one of North America's finest contemporary songwriters" & as "the finest traditional singer this side of Kerry". This is her fifth solo album, and shows once again her power and versatility as a songwriter, as well as her ability to make ancient songs come alive. Ranging from modern songs of love, politics, the environment, self-image, and the beauty of the BC landscape, to songs about a twelfth century love triangle and the lament of a jilted Water-Kelpie, Eileen draws the listener into the stories wrapping them in the richness and beauty of her voice. Her previous recordings have consistently been given five-star reviews internationally & continue to receive extensive airplay. This should be no exception. On this CD her own fine guitar work is augmented by the playing of some of Canada's finest acoustic musicians: David K., Oliver Schroer, David Woodhead, Ben Grossman, Rene Cusson, Duncan Cameron & Lesley Atherton, playing Irish bouzouki, fiddle, bagpipes, whistles, guitars, hurdy-gurdy, bass, cello and harmonies.

Just east and south of High Park. The east side of the property borders on Ellis Ave. When coming from the west or north of Toronto, you will want to get on the QEW (Queen Elizabeth Way), which is the expressway taking traffic into the downtown from the 401, 400 or 427. As the 427 comes south, it feeds into the QEW, which as it gets closer to the downtown become the Gardiner Expressway. Lakeshore runs parallel to the QEW/Gardiner, just to the south, closer to the water. Exit off the QEW to Lakeshore (there are several off ramps) and hang a left at Windemere (lights) into the hotel parking lot. When coming from the east or northeast, you will come off the 401 to the Don Valley Parkway, which at it's southern most end feeds into the Gardner Expressway, which eventually becomes the QEW (just west of the hotel). So travel west on the Gardiner and exit on to the Lakeshore, the hotel is on the north side of the Boulevard, and you'll hang a right into the parking lot. *Note the building immediately to the east of the hotel is a defunct nightclub called Meow. They have a large empty parking lot which is gated and locked and not recommended for parking. That is on the Ellis Ave. side of the property. If in the event that the parking lot at the hotel is full, parking is available on the south side of Lakeshore, closer to the water. The hotel has confirmed that this is legit parking and will be offering parking lot supervision and valet parking at peak times on the weekend. For Toronto area residents who may be taking transit, the TTC stops right behind the hotel at Queensway (also running parallel to the Gardner & Lakeshore) and Windemere. It is a 24 hour "blue line" streetcar service aka the 501 Queen car. Cyclists and joggers have the lovely Martin Goodman path, but beware there is a shortage of handy lockup at the front of the hotel.

Maybe others of you have done this already. My dad is dying from lung cancer, and we're planning his memorial service. He doesn't want it to be too sad but wants it appropriately low key, yet a celebration of life. Not necessarily religious, since we'll be having a church funeral as well. I was thinking of using some of these songs, if I could get permission to do so: the intro to "Oh My Brother" from Portable efo Show, "Down to a river" from Connie Kaldor's Small Cafe "Canaan's land" from Kate Rusby's Little Lights CD. Other songs we'd considered include Sally Rogers/Claudia Schmidt "Appalachian Round" Garnet Rogers "John o' Dreams" Pierce Pettis/Dar Williams "Family" Small Potatoes "I will pass this way again" Rankin Family "Rise Again" Aileen Vance "Here I walk" Please forward any other suggestions to me soon. Thanks.

I spoke with 4 people from three different religious traditions about chanting in their daily lives. Here's an excerpt from the introduction, to give you an idea of what to expect. "This is not going to be a primer on how to chant. It's not a comparative study of three chant traditions. It's really about the experience of chanting. And because I am a musician & a songwriter, and because music is a very important part of chant, the best way I know how to tell this story is to let it unfold just like a song. A song with 7 verses, sung in different voices, with one theme ¯ that chanting is a pathway to the ultimate source, to the divine." "Tapestry" this Sunday at 2:00 p.m., CBC Radio One. I hope that some of you can tune in.

Firstly thank-you Nonie for the story. Being of Newfoundland stock it makes me proud or my heritage. Secondly, the sourcing of material so that we can independently verify. In today's day and age of the mobile electron and the maleable message I find myself treating internet information with scepticism unless verifiable. I have read too many beautiful messages only to find out these were the creations of someone's talented imagination. For myself when I read a story like this I would prefer that the source be named. No anonymity. That the story be verifiable. At 12:37 AM 05/10/2001 -0400, Nonie wrote: > >> >> Hi Mapleposters >> This is something to be proud of as a Canadian.

Don't Kneel At My Graveside, copyright Barry and Holly Tashian High on a hill above the sea There is a grave standing underneath a tree Upon the stone, these words are found A prayer to all who's earthly bound Chorus: Don't kneel at my graveside and cry I am not there, I did not die I am the clouds that drift on by Don't kneel at my graveside and cry I am the fields of golden grain I am a cool wind before the summer rain And in the stillness of the night I am a candle burning bright I am the diamonds in the snow I am a thousand stars around the heavens that blow And in the silence when you wake I am the dawning of the day Hope this helps, Maria Dunn ------------------------------- Distant Whisper Music PO Box 75063 Edmonton, AB T6E 6K1 distantwhisper@mariadunn.com http://www.mariadunn.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "MVM" To: ; "NanciNet" ; "Northwest Passage" ; "Maplepost" Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 9:15 AM Subject: [mplpost] OT: Songs appropriate for a funeral > Hi all, > I'm looking for suggestions from your vast knowledge of songs.

This is "Land on the Shore" (also known as (Our Meeting is Over). It's not specifically for a funeral, but I feel that this traditional song has a wonderful healing feel to it. (lyrics below). My second suggestion is "I Bid You Goodnight", a southern hymn which is in fact intended as a hymn for a funeral. I heard it sung this past summer by Tom, Brad and Alice with lyrics that Brad had found in an old hymnal. Very beautiful song! LAND ON THE SHORE Fathers now our meeting is over, Fathers we must part, And if I never see you anymore I'll love you in my heart. Chorus: And we'll land on the shore Yes we'll land on the shore Yes we'll land on the shore And be safe forever more. Mothers now, our meeting is over Mothers we must part, And if I never see you anymore I'll love you in my heart. Sisters now, our meeting is over Sister we must part, And if I never see you anymore I'll love you in my heart. Brothers now our meeting is over Brothers we must part, And if I never see you anymore I'll love you in my heart. My dear friends our meeting is over Dear friends we must part, And if I never see you anymore I'll love you in my heart.

Good morning All, This morning the Maplepost community grew by 161 new members as a result of merging cdnfolk-l with maplepost. In addition we have new members who are joining us from mapleworld, the Canadian world music forum. A huge welcome to all of you! We anticipate that a single discussion forum will enrich the experience for all of us, cutting down on duplicate gig postings and announcements, and expanding the discussion base. Canadian folk, roots and world music is a highly volunteer-supported sector of the music industry. Many of you contribute by volunteering your time at clubs, festivals and folk organizations. There are many behind the scenes activities that contribute to making our favourite music survive. Newsletters, school programs, committees, house concerts, song circles, etc. As "audience" we support the music by purchasing recordings, attending events and introducing this music to friends and family. There is a "business" side to all of this which includes matters of recording, grants, copyright, SOCAN royalties to performers, and border-crossing procedures. Getting the word out on gigs is an important part of this. Who is playing, where and when? It is our hope that this expanded forum will address the needs and interests of all of us who love this music. Please feel free to ask questions, express opinions, or provide us with announcements of relevant folk, roots and world musical events.

CD release. Good morning, Gene: First off, a big thank you for taking the trouble to merge when you could have just folded. I am one who was away from the music scene for many years. I have found these lists hugely helpful as a learning aid -- who's out there, where they're playing, who's hiring them, etc. Thank you for that. This week, I picked up five-hundred copies of my first-ever CD (titled Joanne Hindley-Smith Crabtree -- All The Good Times) from the factory. It features me singing songs from the traditional repertoire and songs written by me or my friends (and one or two by heroes.) Paul mills produced, engineered, plays all the guitars. Tom Leighton plays piano on many tracks, accordion on others. The rhythm section is completed by Bob Hewus on acoustic bass and Al Cross on drums. Chris Whiteley adds trumpet, harmonica, pedal steel; Bob DeAngelis is on clarinet and alto sax. It was a mighty band. Then there was the song we recorded in Charlottetown with the wonderful Bob Ashley on piano! Paul Mills, Tom Leighton, and Bob Hewus are going to back me up at the launch concert on October 27 at the Free Times Cafe on College Street, here in Toronto. I couldn't be more thrilled.

Penguin Eggs has had a reverse evolution, changing from an exclusively Internet-based publication to a traditional print publication. Based in Edmonton, AB, Penguin Eggs has a format somewhat reminiscent of Sing Out, crossed with Folk Roots. The reviews and articles cover a considerable amount of Canadian content, though there are also reviews and articles on other artists globally. The magazine will consider article and review submissions, but check first with the editors at penguineggs@hotmail.com The Penguin Egg website is http://www.penguineggs.ab.ca Subscriptions for 1 year are $23.25Cdn (incl GST), $23.50US and L12UK (airmail) or L10UK surface. Two year rates are $46.40Cdn, $46.50US and L24UK (airmail) or L20UK surface. I found the magazine very enjoyable and plan to subscribe.

I just received the 2nd edition which had an interview with David Francey, Matapat amongst others. The CD reviews have been informative and have caused me to buy a few!! Like Gene, I really enjoyed the magazine. Likewise, I have nothing to do with the magazine, except that I knew Roddy Campbell (the editor) some 25 years ago (ouch!) in my Edmonton days, and also one of the contributors (Tony Montague) in my Vancouver days - which only goes to show how small Canada really is!

Praise be for The BILL HILLY BAND!! I don't know if I can think of enough superlatives to describe their concert last night at the Bellefair United church in The Beach (Toronto, ON). But try I must. If you have not heard this band before please make every effort......in fact, if you're reading this right now, just stop...........and go get in your car and drive out to Brantford for Octoberfolk where you'll hear them along with many other fine musicians today. Or go to Guelph Tues. night or come to the OCFF Folk Meet this Thurs-Sun or to Hart House Thur. evening. You will come away with a huge grin on your face; actually my jaw is a little sore this morning from holding my face in a perpetual smile and grin all evening! By the end of the evening I, and everyone around me, was wired -all around, joyous faces beaming, bodies tingling with excitement, people marvelling, enraptured. There was a palpable feeling of something in the air -something a little indefinable but magical, mysterious, suspenseful, mezmorizing, thrilling, like hanging onto the precipice of something monumental....... The audience was so charged that they leapt to their feet with a STANDING OVATION AFTER THE FIRST SONG!, then again after the third song and on it went, standing ovations throughout the evening, even in the MIDDLE of one song, after a particularly brilliant solo! This is one of the most phenomenal bands this country has seen in a long time. All five of the Bill Hillies (from Victoria, BC) are outstanding, exceptional, consummate artists. Two of them are virtuoso youngsters - 18 and 22 year old fiddlers (the 18yr old plays superb piano and accordian as well). The band is so tight, so in tune with each other, adlibbing, taking the music off in many directions with everyone instinctively and instantly following the thread, like when a person knows someone so well he/she is able to finish the other's thought or sentence. They have an incredible rapport and harmony with each other and with the audience. Their show is choreographed as well with many delightful, surprising gestures, movements and innuendos......all jumping up at the same time, hiking a shoulder up at an appropriate, inviting stage in the music, strolling around the audience serenading everyone...... Several times the youngest member would hop over to the piano and rip off an amazing, heart-stopping piece.......and they didn't even know there was going to be a piano available for them in the church. They're described as an "acoustic explosion" and indeed, that they are. Their music spans the world with songs from every style and genre - Old time/Bluegrass to Jazz/Swing to Klezmer, Brazilian, Caribbean, Spanish and other European strains. And no set lists, just whatever strikes their fancy.....all delivered with the utmost passion and joy; they challenge each other and delight in each others' performance and they knock the socks off the audiences' musical sensibilities. Truly a "joyous musical ride"! I'm going to do my darndest to get them back to Ontario, but you've got to help me, so come on all you presenters and festival AD's - I URGE you to trust me on this and book 'em! Believe me, you will thank them and so will your audiences. I've even already had some calls this morning from people raving about them and wanting to know when they can hear them again. And so I too would like to thank them once again for being a part of my Fiddles & Frets series and gracing the stage at Bellefair. It was an honour. The Bill Hillies are: Chris Frye - guitar Marc Atkinson - Mandolin Adrian Dolan - Fiddle, Piano, Accordian Glen Manders - Bass Beau Klaibert - Fiddle I would also like to thank Bill Usher and Steve Briggs for their very fine opening performance. Bill is debuting some brand new songs for a new CD project, "Slow Dancing in the Ballroom of Life" - quite a departure from the music we've been accustomed to hearing from Bill. The songs are beautiful and thought-provoking with a unique perspective. And as moving as his strong rhthymical drumming.

He is on the second hole when he notices a frog sitting next to the green. He thinks nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, "Ribbit. 9 Iron". The man looks around and doesn't see anyone. "Ribbit. 9 Iron." He looks at the frog and decides to prove the frog wrong, puts his other club away, and grabs a 9 iron. Boom! He hits it 10 inches from the cup. He is shocked. He says to the frog, "Wow that's amazing. You must be a Lucky frog, eh?" The frog replies, "Ribbit. Lucky frog." The man decides to take the frog with him to the next hole. "What do you think frog?" the man asks. "Ribbit. 3 wood." The guy takes out a 3 wood and Boom! Hole in one. The man is befuddled and doesn't know what to say. By the end of the day, the man golfed the best game of golf in his life and asks the frog, "OK where to next?" The frog replies, "Ribbit. Las Vegas." They go to Las Vegas and the guy says, "OK frog, now what?" The frog says, "Ribbit. Roulette." Upon approaching the roulette table, the man asks, "What do you think I should bet?" The frog replies, "Ribbit. $3000, black 6." Now, this is a million-to-one shot to win, but after the golf game, the man figures what the heck. Boom! Tons of cash comes sliding back across the table. The man takes his winnings and buys the best room in the hotel. He sits the frog down and says, "Frog, I don't know how to repay you. You've won me all this money and I am forever grateful." The frog replies, "Ribbit, Kiss Me." He figures why not, since after all the frog did for him he deserves it. With a kiss, the frog turns into a gorgeous 15-year-old girl. "And that, your honor, is how the girl ended up in my room." - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.ca From gogetm@telusplanet.net Sun Oct 7 02:17:37 2001 Date: Sun Oct 7 02:17:37 2001 From: Ted & Monique Jablonski gogetm@telusplanet.net Subject: [mplpost] joke exactly what kind of indulgence are we talking about del?? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Del Vezeau" To: "Maplepost" Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2001 9:31 PM Subject: [mplpost] joke > I do not recall having ever seen a joke posted here in this forum...forgive > me this one indulgence :-) > > > A man takes the day off work and decides to go out golfing.

Eileen McGann and Lisa Moscatiello sang so beautifully and with such depth, you literally could have heard a pin drop, and David Francey chose to perform selections from the Robbie Burns oeuvre, so appropriate to David's Scottish burr.

His songs have been recorded by artists all over the world, including Judy Collins, Fairport Convention, Peter Paul and Mary, Rick Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, The Grateful Dead, and Francoise Hardy. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1943, he received his early education in Buffalo, where he taught himself guitar and piano. He had folk groups that performed the political songs of Woody Guthrie and the Weavers and spent a great deal of time reading the books of Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Jack Kerouac, and Allen Ginsberg. After two years of pre-medical studies at Hobart College, he hitchhiked to San Francisco to try out his new songs in North Beach coffeehouses and seek out the poets of the Beat Generation. Songwriter Tom Paxton discovered him late fall of 1963, performing at the Coffee Gallery in North Beach. He heard his songs and invited him to New York City. In 1964, Eric was soon introduced to the Greenwich Village songwriting circle of Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan... pls read on at . ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thu Oct 18 - Chris & Ken Whiteley CD Release $10 "Taking Our Time" “Whether they want to sound like the Memphis Jug Band, and electric Chicago band, or Sunny Terry, the Whiteleys are clearly immersed in the styles and in the complete command of their instruments. The results are certainly impressive.” Elijah Wald, Sing Out! Canadian folk/blues veterans and Borealis recording artists Chris & Ken Whiteley are releasing their first duo CD in five years. While both brothers have stayed busy with many other projects in the interim, it's always a much anticipated occasion when Ken and Chris get together to make music. Both of their last two recordings, "Bluesology" and "Sixteen Shades of Blue", won high critical acclaim and were nominated for Juno awards. This time out, the brothers have recorded thirteen originals that are firmly rooted in the blues and R&B tradition including Chris' much covered "Take Your Time"... read more about the Whiteley brothers at . --------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Oct 19 - Sandy MacIntyre & Steeped In Tradition monthly, no cover The worldwide itinerary of some of Cape Breton's new, young, highly energized and unorthodox players is both a tribute and a testament to traditionalists such as Sandy MacIntyre. The on- stage visual antics of some of the new wave players might make some of the old bygone masters roll over but the sound of these same young innovators playing a traditional Cape Breton fiddle tune would make those same old masters' chests swell with uncontrollable pride. Although Sandy MacIntyre may not have had any of these youngsters as students in his fiddle classes in Toronto or at Saint Ann's Gaelic College in Cape Breton, he has certainly taught them and taught them well. Sandy has spent some forty years playing, teaching and promoting Cape Breton fiddle music and stepdancing in and around Toronto, Cape Breton, California, the North West Territories, British Columbia and Scotland. He is joined by a wonderful group of players, Steeped In Tradition, comprised of Mary MacIntyre (vocals, keyboards), Mickey Andrews (steel guitar), Brian MacIntyre (vocals, guitar) and Damien Walsh (vocals, bass). Pls read on for more information about Sandy & Steeped In Tradition . --------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Oct 20 - Carole Pope - "Anti Diva" 8:30, $22 “Pope’s humour and sexual bravado have translated well onto paper. Anti Diva is a subtle but scathing attack of those who have drifted into complacency both on a cultural and personal level. It is both a challenge and an invitation, especially to women and cultural producers, to keep kicking at the pedestals.” Donna Lypchuck, National Post Known for their sexual lyrics and provocative act, Carole Pope and Rough Trade ushered Canada from the punk movement of the 1970s to the new wave sound of the 1980s and vaulted themselves into the international music scene. Attracting what she calls "a diversified audience, and other artists who were practising their own forms of nihilism," Pope learned how to preen with the best of them and let the raunch shine through. In Anti Diva, Pope offers a no-holds-barred look at her adventures in the music scene -- on the concert stage, in the recording studio, in the bedroom -- and tells of all the mind-blowing, gender-bending parties along the way. Here Pope takes readers along her life’s trajectories: from her early days partying with Gilda Radner, Martin Short, Bill Murray and Dan Ackroyd in their Saturday Night Live heyday to her love affair with Dusty Springfield; from starring with Divine in the stage play Restless Underwear to singing high opera; & from touring with David Bowie to playing the Womyn’s Festival. Throughout her career, Carole Pope has blazed a trail for the diva and anti-diva in all of us. And in sharing her thoughts on AIDS, sexuality and sexual politics, and the new breed of music divas that dominates the charts today, she never hesitates to risk it all... Join Carole for a night of songs and readings from Anti Diva - more info: http://www.hughsroom.com/zcarolepope.html>. ---------------------------------------------------------------- CONCERT CALENDAR Wed Oct 24 - Ray Materick CD Release - "Ashes and Dust" Sat Oct 27 - Ray Bonneville Wed Oct 31 - Mae Moore Fri Nov 2 - Gwen Swick Sat Nov 3 - Penny Lang and Michael Jerome Browne - CD Releases Wed Nov 7 - Betty & The Bobs Fri Nov 9 - Loudon Wainright III (presented by Richard Flohil) Sat Nov 10 - Valdy Wed Nov 14 - Norm Hacking Sat/Sun Nov 17/18 - Odetta Wed Nov 21 - Kelly Joe Phelps (presented by Richard Flohil) Sat Nov 24 - Tanglefoot Wed Dec 5 - Guy Davis Sat Dec 8 - Garnet Rogers Tue-Thur - Jane Siberry Dec 18-20 Wed Apr 3 - Fairport Convention ----------------------------------------------------------------- WHERE: 2261 Dundas St. W.

To me, it has the finest mix of elegance, scope, melody and heart among the songs submitted. -Judge's comment Every year, songwriters from across Canada are invited to submit their work to the Songs From The Heart songwriting competition, an annual and much celebrated component of the Ontario Council Of Folk Festivals' Conference. And every year, the competition gets a little stronger. It is a wonderful reflection of the quality of talent to be found within our borders, and offers further proof that the distinct art of Canadian songcraft is enjoying a time of prolific success. The winner of the 2001 edition of Songs From The Heart is Terry Tufts, for his song "The Better Fight". Runners up include "Jimmy's Room" by Melwood Cutlery, and "Room to Love" by Lynn Harrison. Terry Tufts is a talented singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in the Ottawa area. A fine solo musician, Terry is also a well-respected side musician and session player. Since he began performing in 1974, he has worked with such artists as Susan Aglukark, Don Ross, Stephen Fearing, David Wiffin, Laura Smith, George Fox, Charlie Major, The Arrogant Worms, Lynn Miles, and members of Rawlins Cross. He toured four times with the acclaimed play "Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave." His playing has taken him to all ten provinces and both territories in Canada, including extensive work in the Arctic. He's also toured Holland, Austria, Finland, Sweden, and Australia. In between his busy work as a session and touring musician, he has performed as a solo musician since 1982. Although he's known as a virtuoso fingerstyle guitarist, he is also adept at acoustic and electric slide guitar, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, autoharp, dobro, lap steel, mandola, tabla, and more. He is the 1997 regional winner of Standard Radio's National Songwriting Competition and one of the three winners of the 1998 Ontario Council of Folk Festival's Songs From The Heart Awards. Terry has a smooth, sweet voice, and a style that draws on country, folk, and pop roots. He has released four self-financed and self-produced albums, and now his fifth album "Walk On" is available through Borealis. The strengths and virtues of this song were best summarized by one of the judges' comments: "I believe this song is head and shoulders above all the rest. It's truly a song from the heart, sung with passion and constructed superbly. It speaks to us all - to our humanity, to the creation of Life, to the difficulties of life; it sends an optimistic message to the world and it embraces the spirit of love in our individual human frailties and strengths. This is a song of hope, a song of beauty; it speaks to me, it moves me, it makes me cry. If I were to be 'cast away', stranded on a desert island, this would be one of the songs I'd want by my side. This is a song we should hear upon our birth and at our dying."

Every year, songwriters from across Canada are invited to submit their work to the Songs From The Heart songwriting competition, an annual and much celebrated component of the Ontario Council Of Folk Festivals’ Conference.  And every year, the competition gets a little stronger.  It is a wonderful reflection of the quality of talent to be found within our borders, and offers further proof that the distinct art of Canadian songcraft is enjoying a time of prolific success.  The winner of the 2001 edition of Songs From The Heart is Terry Tufts, for his song “The Better Fight”.  Runners up include “Jimmy's Room” by Melwood Cutlery, and “Room to Love” by Lynn Harrison.

Terry Tufts is a talented singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in the Ottawa area. A fine solo musician, Terry is also a well-respected side musician and session player. Since he began performing in 1974, he has worked with such artists as Susan Aglukark, Don Ross, Stephen Fearing, David Wiffin, Laura Smith, George Fox, Charlie Major, The Arrogant Worms, Lynn Miles, and members of Rawlins Cross. He toured four times with the acclaimed play "Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave." His playing has taken him to all ten provinces and both territories in Canada, including extensive work in the Arctic. He's also toured Holland, Austria, Finland, Sweden, and Australia. In between his busy work as a session and touring musician, he has performed as a solo musician since 1982.

Although he's known as a virtuoso fingerstyle guitarist, he is also adept at acoustic and electric slide guitar, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, autoharp, dobro, lap steel, mandola, tabla, and more. He is the 1997 regional winner of Standard Radio's National Songwriting Competition and one of the three winners of the 1998 Ontario Council of Folk Festival's Songs From The Heart Awards.
Terry has a smooth, sweet voice, and a style that draws on country, folk, and pop roots.  He has released four self-financed and self-produced albums, and now his fifth album "Walk On" is available through Borealis.

The strengths and virtues of this song were best summarized by one of the judges’ comments:  “I believe this song is head and shoulders above all the rest. It's truly a song from the heart, sung with passion and constructed superbly. It speaks to us all - to our humanity, to the creation of Life, to the difficulties of life; it sends an optimistic message to the world and it embraces the spirit of love in our individual human frailties and strengths. This is a song of hope, a song of beauty; it speaks to me, it moves me, it makes me cry. If I were to be 'cast away', stranded on a desert island, this would be one of the songs I'd want by my side. This is a song we should hear upon our birth and at our dying.”

American Irish Fiddle Champion (Fleadh Cheoil), Pierre Schryer ranks with the world's best. Raised in the rich Franco-Ontarian culture of a family whose name has become associated the world over with great traditional fiddle music, he is a gifted performer, who delights in playing and composing in a range of styles from Irish, Scottish and French-Canadian, to Canadian Old-Time and American Swing. Pierre's musical talents extend beyond his famous fiddling, to include mandolin, tenor banjo, and the unique French-Canadian foot percussion. In 1995 retired from competition fiddling and formed "The Pierre Schryer Band". The Band has gained critical acclaim across Canada, the US, Ireland and the UK, and have established themselves as one of Canada's most well respected traditional music ensembles. Their début album, "The New Canadian Waltz," was recorded live in 1995 featuring Pierre's uncompromised fiddling dexterity, while offering authentic representation of traditional styles & innovative arrangements. Their latest recording "Acoustique!," represents the evolution of the band, displaying a fresh and exciting sound that combines traditional fiddle styles with a touch of World Music, Celtic and Swing.

Their close harmonies have inspired enthusiastic responses from audiences and critics alike. The trio sings both acapella and accompanied by guitar and hammered dulcimer, drawing material from contemporary (they do a fabulous version of Dylan's "When The Ship Comes In") and traditional music of the British Isles and North America, with a liberal sprinkling of sea music. What People Are Saying: "....sheer beauty....Together they wove a sound as warm and healing as it was technically elegant....The stunning voices, often singing without instrumental accompaniement, summon up visions of a more simple, certain time." Daniel Gewertz, Boston Herald "...a marvelous sense of balance among the voices. The music shines, flows, hangs in the air, impeccable....Together, the group wove tapestries of magical sound." Pat Waring, Martha's Vineyard Times "When I first heard Cindy Kallet, Ellen Epstein and Michael Cicone, my brains sort of oozed down my legs and started leaking out of the eyelets of my shoelaces! Cindy is well known in these parts as an outstanding songwriter and guitarist; Michael is a superb hammered dulicimer player; and Ellen is one of those charismatic performers that holds a stage on sheer personality. And voices - the harmonies are positively brilliant!....DO NOT MISS."

the directions for DVP westbound drivers. i did the exit from that route last night for a test, and you'd want to exit to lakeshore at *jameson/dunn ave*, as the next exit *south kingsway* is just past the hotel. south kingsway does work also. 2. the *four points sheraton* was chosen specifically because it is not located in the downtown core and offers a quaint, quiet environment. it is a newly renovated boutique type hotel, and has some real limitations for our needs. for those who are familiar with the old *lakeshore inn* this is the same hotel. 4 stories and immediately south of the gardiner expressway, east of the humber river. 3. the limitations of the four points are space and food. the conference will peak on saturday, which is why we're opting for more space by locating the dinner, songs from the heart award and estelle klein lifetime achievement award at the *palais royale*, due east of the hotel. there will be a 47 passenger bus shuttle operating on saturday to take delegates to the palais, courtesy of the four points. the shuttle begins at 5:30pm. the drive is about 3-5 minutes. the "gala concert" following the 3 *delegate exclusive* items above will be open to the public and runs to about 11pm. in order of appearance, lennie gallant, les batinses and rita chiarelli will perform 30 minute sets after terry tufts, our just announced SFTH winner. 4. the hotel's restaurant (CEO lounge?) seats about 100 people, and we are concerned it will not cope well with our volume of activity. we have the staff preparing quick and handy food items for folks to grab in morning, as an alternative to the breakfast buffet, and we will be offer *gratis coffee* at the two workshop venues on the ground floor and rooftop in the morning as delegates arrive/wakeup. 5. there is no *store* in the hotel. we're good for coke, etc. via machines, but will need to leave the hotel for incidentals. there are two walkable options immediately behind the hotel at the corner of windermere and queensway. the first is a convenience store called *sunshine foods*, which is open from 8am to 10pm. the second is a *neighbour's jiffy mart* (at the petro canada station), also at windermere and queensway (just west) and is open 24 hours. there is a CIBC instant teller in the jiffy mart, and some snack food, as well as the usual convenience store goods. 6. on the food front there are several directions to head for restaurant and other outings. being in the west end of toronto we are close to both the *bloor west village* and *roncesvalles avenue*. i'll list a number of options here for your future reference on the assumption that you will want to head out of the hotel for a meal. for folks with no time limit, you can always head downtown for many more options. 7. royal burger. across the road from the hotel is a cheap and quick burger joint. in trying to determine if they would be open i have come to learn that the owners operate the sunnyside cafe (closed for the season), bryer's ice cream (still open), royal burger and *grenadier cafe* in high park. the proprietor was delighted to hear about the conference and said they would open on friday when we could really use them, and saturday lunch. they've been open this weekend, but the weather dictates opening at this time of year. 8. grenadier cafe & tea room. colborne lodge road, 769-9870. located in the heart of high park, this full service restaurant is quick, reasonably priced and has plenty of seating. drive east on the queensway (immediately behind hotel) left at colborne lodge road and up the hill through the forest. open for breakfast at 7am, until 9pm. licensed. 9. the queensway, west of the hotel. exit the hotel parking lot via windermere and hang a left on to the queensway. you're going west 5-10 minutes by car. -rocco's plum tomato trattoria, 164 the queensway, 255-5081 -thai delight, 170 the queensway, -mamma martino's pasta and pizzeria restaurant, 624-B the queensway, 251-3337 -izba schnitchel house, 648 the queensway, 251-7177 -red snapper, 664 the queensway -santamonica ristorante, 666 the queensway, 253-9416 10. roncesvalles avenue. one of the most charming and culturally rich strips in toronto's west end starts at the convergence of king street, queen street and roncesvalles. queen continues west as the queensway and roncesvalles heads north from the days inn hotel to dundas west, the street that is home to hugh's room. from the hotel, take the queensway *east* past, ellis ave., past colborne lodge road, past the st. joseph's health centre to the top of the hill. street car tracks criss cross unlike any intersection in the city. -days inn hotel, 14 roncesvalles, 532-9900. formerly the edgewater hotel, this economy hotel still has rooms at $89 for late comers, and an unlicensed indian restaurant on the mainfloor, dil's. no lunch, 5pm to 10pm. -you'll notice as you drive north that the neighborhood is full of polish language stores and restaurants. plus... -alternative grounds coffee house, 333 roncesvalles, 534-5543, politically sensitive coffee and snacks. -domani restaurant and winebar, 335 roncesvalles, 516-2147. -butler's pantry cafe, 371 roncesvalles 537-7750, good boho food. -gate 403 restaurant and bar, 403 roncesvalles, 588-2930, solid live music. - as you head north there are many options, including snazzy second cup and timothy's coffee shops. all shopping needs are on offer, every bank, drugstore and other services included. -as roncesvalles meets howard park, just past the revue cinema, the street name changes to dundas west, running a short distance until it meets bloor. at 2243 dundas west (south of bloor) is the venerable *hugh's room* where "fringe" folk meet concerts are being staged. not open for lunch, but a fine dinner menu is on offer. *the bloor west village can be found by heading straight north on windermere or ellis ave. *note, on sunday the *canadian international marathon* is

To me, it has the finest mix of elegance, scope, melody and heart among the songs submitted. -Judges comment Every year, songwriters from across Canada are invited to submit their work to the Songs From The Heart songwriting competition, an annual and much celebrated component of the Ontario Council Of Folk Festivals Conference. And every year, the competition gets a little stronger. It is a wonderful reflection of the quality of talent to be found within our borders, and offers further proof that the distinct art of Canadian songcraft is enjoying a time of prolific success. The winner of the 2001 edition of Songs From The Heart is Terry Tufts, for his song The Better Fight. Runners up include Jimmy's Room by Melwood Cutlery, and Room to Love by Lynn Harrison. Terry Tufts is a talented singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in the Ottawa area. A fine solo musician, Terry is also a well-respected side musician and session player. Since he began performing in 1974, he has worked with such artists as Susan Aglukark, Don Ross, Stephen Fearing, David Wiffin, Laura Smith, George Fox, Charlie Major, The Arrogant Worms, Lynn Miles, and members of Rawlins Cross. He toured four times with the acclaimed play "Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave." His playing has taken him to all ten provinces and both territories in Canada, including extensive work in the Arctic. He's also toured Holland, Austria, Finland, Sweden, and Australia. In between his busy work as a session and touring musician, he has performed as a solo musician since 1982. Although he's known as a virtuoso fingerstyle guitarist, he is also adept at acoustic and electric slide guitar, banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, autoharp, dobro, lap steel, mandola, tabla, and more. He is the 1997 regional winner of Standard Radio's National Songwriting Competition and one of the three winners of the 1998 Ontario Council of Folk Festival's Songs From The Heart Awards. Terry has a smooth, sweet voice, and a style that draws on country, folk, and pop roots. He has released four self-financed and self-produced albums, and now his fifth album "Walk On" is available through Borealis. The strengths and virtues of this song were best summarized by one of the judges comments: I believe this song is head and shoulders above all the rest. It's truly a song from the heart, sung with passion and constructed superbly. It speaks to us all - to our humanity, to the creation of Life, to the difficulties of life; it sends an optimistic message to the world and it embraces the spirit of love in our individual human frailties and strengths. This is a song of hope, a song of beauty; it speaks to me, it moves me, it makes me cry. If I were to be 'cast away', stranded on a desert island, this would be one of the songs I'd want by my side. This is a song we should hear upon our birth and at our dying.

David Shilman Toronto, ON "Always wave to the locals!" -----Original Message----- From: Del Vezeau [mailto:vezco@cgocable.net] Sent: Saturday October 6,2001 11:32 PM To: Maplepost Subject: [mplpost] joke I do not recall having ever seen a joke posted here in this forum...forgive me this one indulgence :-) A man takes the day off work and decides to go out golfing. He is on the second hole when he notices a frog sitting next to the green. He thinks nothing of it and is about to shoot when he hears, "Ribbit. 9 Iron". The man looks around and doesn't see anyone. "Ribbit. 9 Iron." He looks at the frog and decides to prove the frog wrong, puts his other club away, and grabs a 9 iron. Boom! He hits it 10 inches from the cup. He is shocked. He says to the frog, "Wow that's amazing. You must be a Lucky frog, eh?" The frog replies, "Ribbit. Lucky frog." The man decides to take the frog with him to the next hole. "What do you think frog?" the man asks. "Ribbit. 3 wood." The guy takes out a 3 wood and Boom! Hole in one. The man is befuddled and doesn't know what to say. By the end of the day, the man golfed the best game of golf in his life and asks the frog, "OK where to next?" The frog replies, "Ribbit. Las Vegas." They go to Las Vegas and the guy says, "OK frog, now what?" The frog says, "Ribbit. Roulette." Upon approaching the roulette table, the man asks, "What do you think I should bet?" The frog replies, "Ribbit. $3000, black 6." Now, this is a million-to-one shot to win, but after the golf game, the man figures what the heck. Boom! Tons of cash comes sliding back across the table. The man takes his winnings and buys the best room in the hotel. He sits the frog down and says, "Frog, I don't know how to repay you. You've won me all this money and I am forever grateful." The frog replies, "Ribbit, Kiss Me." He figures why not, since after all the frog did for him he deserves it. With a kiss, the frog turns into a gorgeous 15-year-old girl. "And that, your honor, is how the girl ended up in my room." - To unsubscribe: mail majordomo@icomm.ca with "unsubscribe maplepost" in the body (not the subject line) Need help? mail owner-maplepost@icomm.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 kkelly@inforamp.net Tue Oct 9 11:37:53 2001 Date: Tue Oct 9 11:37:53 2001 From: Kevin Kelly kkelly@inforamp.net Subject: [mplpost] GIG - ON -Kevin Kelly This Saturday evening I will be trotting out a bunch of tunes at the Corner Coffee House down on Main St in the old part of Newmarket.

For Tuesday, October 9 2001 (the mid section of this email is a repeat from an earlier Maplepost) ******************************************* Well, it's here. T-minus ONE day and counting! Folk Meet begins tomorrow night with the Sneak Peak at Hugh's Room 2261 Dundas West (www.hughsroom.com) and registration opens at 2pm on Thursday at the home of Folk Meet...the Four Points Sheraton Lakeshore. A reminder that I am "away from my desk" as of Wednesday morning so if you need the office for anything, leave a voice mail and I'll call you back as soon as I can. Please travel safely, and take some time to check out the beautiful leaves, dangling for a few more days from Ontario's own. Your Folk Meet "Essentials Packing List" should include... your instrument to make music your grin and your handshake to make connections your openness and willingness to learn from others some stories to share... some energy to spare, for those who might have forgot their own, or who didn't bring enough... your ideas, your optomism and your opinions... ...Yup, that should do it. OK, I'm getting misty, I have to go...I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend (to you U.S. folks, a good weekend sans holiday). Please see below for "friendly 'Folk Meet' neighbourhood tips" from Mr. Rogers himself, Derek Andrews... ;-) And below that, a clarification re: Songs From The Heart. See you soon all! erin and the Folk Meet Team ********************************************** Bloor West, Roncesvalles and The Streets O'The Meet.... greetings from the lac Ontario waterfront, 1. let me just clarify the directions for DVP westbound drivers. i did the exit from that route last night for a test, and you'd want to exit to lakeshore at *jameson/dunn ave*, as the next exit *south kingsway* is just past the hotel. south kingsway does work also. 2. the *four points sheraton* was chosen specifically because it is not located in the downtown core and offers a quaint, quiet environment. it is a newly renovated boutique type hotel, and has some real limitations for our needs. for those who are familiar with the old *lakeshore inn* this is the same hotel. 4 stories and immediately south of the gardiner expressway, east of the humber river. 3. the limitations of the four points are space and food. the conference will peak on saturday, which is why we're opting for more space by locating the dinner, songs from the heart award and estelle klein lifetime achievement award at the *palais royale*, due east of the hotel. there will be a 47 passenger bus shuttle operating on saturday to take delegates to the palais, courtesy of the four points. the shuttle begins at 5:30pm. the drive is about 3-5 minutes. the "gala concert" following the 3 *delegate exclusive* items above will be open to the public and runs to about 11pm. in order of appearance, lennie gallant, les batinses and rita chiarelli will perform 30 minute sets after terry tufts, our just announced SFTH winner. 4. the hotel's restaurant (CEO lounge?) seats about 100 people, and we are concerned it will not cope well with our volume of activity. we have the staff preparing quick and handy food items for folks to grab in morning, as an alternative to the breakfast buffet, and we will be offer *gratis coffee* at the two workshop venues on the ground floor and rooftop in the morning as delegates arrive/wakeup. 5. there is no *store* in the hotel. we're good for coke, etc. via machines, but will need to leave the hotel for incidentals. there are two walkable options immediately behind the hotel at the corner of windermere and queensway. the first is a convenience store called *sunshine foods*, which is open from 8am to 10pm. the second is a *neighbour's jiffy mart* (at the petro canada station), also at windermere and queensway (just west) and is open 24 hours. there is a CIBC instant teller in the jiffy mart, and some snack food, as well as the usual convenience store goods. 6. on the food front there are several directions to head for restaurant and other outings. being in the west end of toronto we are close to both the *bloor west village* and *roncesvalles avenue*. i'll list a number of options here for your future reference on the assumption that you will want to head out of the hotel for a meal. for folks with no time limit, you can always head downtown for many more options. 7. royal burger. across the road from the hotel is a cheap and quick burger joint. in trying to determine if they would be open i have come to learn that the owners operate the sunnyside cafe (closed for the season), bryer's ice cream (still open), royal burger and *grenadier cafe* in high park. the proprietor was delighted to hear about the conference and said they would open on friday when we could really use them, and saturday lunch. they've been open this weekend, but the weather dictates opening at this time of year. 8. grenadier cafe & tea room. colborne lodge road, 769-9870. located in the heart of high park, this full service restaurant is quick, reasonably priced and has plenty of seating. drive east on the queensway (immediately behind hotel) left at colborne lodge road and up the hill through the forest. open for breakfast at 7am, until 9pm. licensed. 9. the queensway, west of the hotel. exit the hotel parking lot via windermere and hang a left on to the queensway. you're going west 5-10 minutes by car. -rocco's plum tomato trattoria, 164 the queensway, 255-5081 -thai delight, 170 the queensway, -mamma martino's pasta and pizzeria restaurant, 624-B the queensway, 251-3337 -izba schnitchel house, 648 the queensway, 251-7177 -red snapper, 664 the queensway -santamonica ristorante, 666 the queensway, 253-9416 10. roncesvalles avenue. one of the most charming and culturally rich strips in toronto's west end starts at the convergence of king street, queen street and roncesvalles. queen continues west as the queensway and roncesvalles heads north from the days inn hotel to dundas west, the street that is home to hugh's room. from the hotel, take the queensway *east* past, ellis ave., past colborne lodge road, past the st. joseph's health centre to the top of the hill. street car tracks criss cross unlike any intersection in the city. -days inn hotel, 14 roncesvalles, 532-9900. formerly the edgewater hotel, this economy hotel still has rooms at $89 for late comers, and an unlicensed indian restaurant on the mainfloor, dil's. no lunch, 5pm to 10pm. -you'll notice as you drive north that the neighborhood is full of polish language stores and restaurants. plus... -alternative grounds coffee house, 333 roncesvalles, 534-5543, politically sensitive coffee and snacks. -domani restaurant and winebar, 335 roncesvalles, 516-2147. -butler's pantry cafe, 371 roncesvalles 537-7750, good boho food. -gate 403 restaurant and bar, 403 roncesvalles, 588-2930, solid live music. - as you head north there are many options, including snazzy second cup and timothy's coffee shops. all shopping needs are on offer, every bank, drugstore and other services included. -as roncesvalles meets howard park, just past the revue cinema, the street name changes to dundas west, running a short distance until it meets bloor. at 2261 dundas west (south of bloor) is the venerable *hugh's room* where "fringe" folk meet concerts are being staged. not open for lunch, but a fine dinner menu is on offer. *the bloor west village can be found by heading straight north on windermere or ellis ave. *note, on sunday the *canadian international marathon* is being run some waterfront streets will be closed. *the hotel sales manager pat cluette has confirmed that we have hit our booking target and will honour our last discount rate of $159 for room, despite the street rate of $169 now being cited by the desk staff. insist on the "folk" rate and advise erin or i if you have problems. *for those who have time/need, the hotel is equipped with a spa and fitness room, including sauna. *rooftop aka penthouse. the 2000 square foot glassed in rooftop is new to the hotel and will house our thursday night showcase, and then breakdown into 3 rooms with sliding separators. the room opens up again for friday afternoon activities leading into the showcases. and then on saturday becomes 3 rooms again, opening up for the ocff AGM, manitoba party and sunday's workshops. *there are two elevators, only one goes to the fifth floor, as it was just built for the rooftop addition. erin benjamin will be giving guided tours of the stairs as she jogs up and down in a completely elevator free conference experience. these notes have been prepared with kind and patient assistance of linda turu. ;-) regards, derek. ******************************************************************** For those who may have seen the Songs From the Heart press release on Maplepost, it was incorrect in one important

Thanx Derek and I hope you understand...I have been known to be a 'baby stepper', a sensitive artist who wavers on the amount of energy it takes to expose myself on too many deep levels at one time. The competitive, comparative and judgmental nature of the entertainment business does not resonate well with me. I have a choral and theatrical background so I love co-creative ventures and mostly stay active on a small level in my hometown....where ever that may be. This Spring I made the large step and commitment to record my 'soulsongs' with some of Canada's finest acoustic musicians. I am the vehicle of these songs and felt a need to honour them in the most professional way I could afford. The project went so well that I have now decided to keep pushing and expand my team. So dear Mapleposters....now that I have made this step forward I would like to congratulate you all on keeping this community alive. The OCFF is doing a wonderful job at nurturing a healthy network of talent in Canada. I publish my newsletter every4-6 weeks to over 700 SheMoon Friends and part of this issue was recently published on www.indievoice.com. So here is SheMoon Express 10/01 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is difficult to write words of hope in such a trying time. However, I will do my best since I have not made contact in many months, with this ever-growing SheMoon mailing list. Thanx for the interest and support! MUSIC I am on the West Coast of Canada enjoying the fresh air and endless beauty. Right now my focus is on radio airplay, up-dating my website and preparing to re-locate. I am currently educating on Industrial Hemp and sustainability choices in Canada. Enjoying every moment. Let me know if you would like more info. as I have started another list for that part of my life. My performance schedule has slowed down though I am moving CD's every day and getting ready for another run. Every CBC radio station across Canada has a copy of 'Shadow of a Star' in its music library. The mission is to let the producers and program hosts know that you enjoy my music and want to hear it. Write CBC Radio www.cbc.ca http://www.cbc.ca/aboutcbc/contact/index.html Shelagh Rogers / This Morning & Sunday Edition thismorning@cbc.ca Bill Stunt/ Band Width http://ottawa.cbc.ca/bandwidth/yourcomments.html Richardson's Round-up mailto: roundup@vancouver.cbc.ca Or call Bill Richardsons toll free request 1-888-SAD GOAT Please make contact in any way you know how. Since disconnecting from commercial radio and TV over 6 years ago, it seems to me that CBC Radio One and Jazz FM are prime places to start sharing my creative ideas with a larger audience. Now more than ever, I believe these songs were gifted to me as a contribution to our planetary healing. We all have gifts.... Live your Dreams.... Dream Awake! I will soon send ONTARIO PERFORMANCE DATES along including some Big Band shows with the Classic Swing Orchestra, trio shows with Jack Walker and James Thomson and a possible Toronto celebration/Bon Voyage with George Koller and my recording band. I have lots of pictures to share, some video clips, interviews and linx that will soon be on my FANCY, updated website. All this and more! Keep checking http://www.shemoon.com/ LIFE I do believe we have a wide variety of choices right now and more than ever I feel that 'actions speak clearer than words.' Not actions of violence but actions of compassion, love and understanding. With every step of our lives we connect with the whole world in some small way. Science will soon reveal just how connected we are on more levels than we ever imagined. This includes the plants and animals in which we share this beautiful home, we call EARTH. We must ask ourselves... ARE WE PART OF THE PROBLEM OR PART OF THE SOLUTION? Is our energy feeding the light or feeding the dark? Are we wallowing in fear, anger and revenge or are we looking to friendship, random acts of kindness, forgiveness, community and love. We may feel powerless though we create our reality with each choice we make every day. This is a confusing time and the recent events in America are very complex and deep rooted with an obvious long history. We all know MONEY TALKS and there ARE solutions for a HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER FUTURE. It may not include SUV's, fancy brand name clothes, fast food, and endless toys. It may not include racism, abuse or untruths. It MAY support organic farmers who struggle to make a difference www.purefood.org or Industrial HEMP and it's endless sustainable uses www.westhemp.com or riding your bike more often to school or work www.cleanair.org . It may include your own healing toward inner peace that contributes to us as a whole creative universe. This is the information age and it is endless how we can have a positive impact on the world, as we know it today. Remember the three R's Reduce~Reuse~Recyle (in that order) and embrace a simple life of honest relations with ALL THAT IS. I enjoy The UTNE Reader for my alternative media choice http://www.utne.com/ Venture away from the mass media and see what others are talking about around the world. Celebrate the seasons and the beauty. This will surely guide us all toward a more balanced and brighter future. Trace your dollar to the source and see who and what it touches. More than ever we need to look where greed and power will lead us and what lifestyles we are creating for our children. Are you a conscious consumer? Lets pull together not only in prayer but also in community...in family and friends. This is a time of TRUTH. Walk your divine path. Love with ALL the capacity of your human heart. One of my favorite sayings: " live simply ~ so others may simply live" Blessings from SheMoon. May your LOVE LIGHT ~ SHINE ON Namaste D Knight www.shemoon.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you would like to be added to my mailing list of HEMP and Sustainability Tools please reply and write "ADD TO HEMP" in the subject box.

At the moment I have a TV/VCR combo and a Beta Machine - can someone detail what I would need to set that up as well what connecting wires I would need to purchase. Drop in to your closest Radio Shack and buy a set of dubbing cables. Tell the folks there what you want to do and they'll have them for you in 30 seconds. You're looking at anywhere from $15 for a cheapie to $25 or so for decent ones which will last for years. Follow the instructions for connecting and you're away. Check first to make sure the VCR in the TV/VCR combo has the inputs you'll need to connect to the Beta outputs. If not, you'll have to borrow or rent a machine that does. As I'm no longer using either of my Beta machines, if anyone around Calgary still uses one and would like some free tapes, call me at 288-2284.
