[mplpost] Those CanCon playlists

[Second Avenue]

Hi there Richard,

I imagine there will be some replies to your question about the meaning
of CanCon lists soon - in the meantime, replies to your enquiry about
this last year are archived on maplepost - (see "Statistics, Damn
Statistics"
<http://www.coolname.com/pipermail/maplepost-mirror/2002-May/008766.html>).

re Enoch Kent - he released "I'm A Workin' Chap" on the Second Avenue
label just a little over 2 months ago (Second Avenue's posting & the
Flying Cloud Folk Club's announcement about his release concert there
are archived as well); the Toronto Star ran an outstanding feature story
a few weeks ago & Penguin Eggs has a review of the CD, plus the music &
lyrics to "The Farm Auction" included in its current Fall issue - check
out <http://www.enochkent.ca> for more info!

All the best,

Lisa
