Great to hear Magoo, who's responsible for the single funniest moment I've ever seen on a stage...during an early Blue Skies, he brought the entire lost and found box and proceeded to stuff it all into his stretchy polyester pants. You had to be there,I guess, but I remember thinking this was a special festival and a special, very funny guy.

Anyone hear the interview with Mike Tod early today on "In Town and Out" (CBC One)? He's from Calgary, and thinks that Wikipedia does not have enough info about "Canadian Folk". A valid observation and his desire to correct that is laudable and deserves support. Just from what he said he didn't seem to be aware of the full range (he mentioned Neil Young, and step-dancing but nothing in between. Anyway Mike's approach was that he's going to write to academics in musicology to get contributors... He really needs to hear from the "Space Cadets" and from all the folk-music festival organizers, etc. He gave this email address for people to contact him: <miketod@yorku.ca> (NB only one "d" in tod).

I just wrote to Mike Tod -- who wants to have Canadian Folk more fully represented on Wikipedia (see above note <miketod@yorku.ca>). I sent the URL for this program, with the suggestion that he look up the playlists. A small start. Hope some others will send artist profiles, links to their discographies, descriptions of performing and touring in Canada, etc...
