[mplpost] Those CanCon playlists

[Richard Flohil]

Vic's latest summary of the playing of Canadian music in the U.S. is 
instructive - but utterly useless as any kind of reasonable guide to 
airplay.
	Please don't take this as a knock against a lovely man and an 
excellent singer, but if one extrapolates from this that Enoch Kent 
gets more airplay in the U.S. than Bruce Cockburn, Leonard Cohen, 
Fred Eaglesmith, Natalie McMaster, Keelo, Ian Tyson (with or without 
Sylvia), Kate & Anna, or even Lynn Miles, they must be nuts.
	And given that, what on earth is the POINT of these 
inaccurate "charts"?   Obviously, the folk who supply playlists to 
the folk-dj list serve are anything but typical, and this compilation 
of useless figures - which obviously takes Harry Bryan all sorts of 
time to compile - means absolutely nothing at all.
	Meanwhile, did Enoch have a new record or something?
