Used to be a big fan of Slyvia but haven't heard anything of her's lately. Didn't know their boys were into music too. Another one for my list - Buffy Ste. Marie. Oh, and how could I forget...........Stan Rogers! Listenin' to Fogarty's Cove right now. What a voice. Actually saw a Mayday program on the plane crash that Stan died in.

Ian and Sylvia were interviewed (together) recently on Q on CBC radio, first time they've been interviewed together in years.

I heard that interview too. Giam is an excellent interviewer and has excellent insight into what makes Canada tick.

Buffy....a good local talent that goes unappreciated these days.

Nothing beats his interview a year or two ago with BillyBobThornton...I was crackfilling one day, listening to it live, and just couldn't believe my ears, it went so far off the rails.
