Cool! Out of all those artists though,I only know a few. Bruce Cockburn (co-burn)/Cowboy Junkies/Tragically Hip and Maria "Midnight At The Oasis" Muldaur. Haven't heard about her since,"I'm A Woman". Definetley looking forward to this now! I wish I was one of the artists,I'd reign supreme on Carefree Highway! Later!

Rox Sexsmith (unlike Cockburn it is pronounced just like it looks) is a local Toronto singer who has had limited regional success and is a huge Lightfoot fan. I have a pair of his CDs that I picked up a couple of summers ago while in the Buffalo area...not bad but no Gordon Lightfoot either! Hmmm...as fellow Canadians I have always thought that Bruce Cockburn and Ron Sexsmith oughta team up - must be the ribald sense of humour popping out in me.
Michigan,since we have a President named Bush and a Vice President named Dick :-I think all of America shares your sense of humor! Later! (Are you surprised I'd post that? Me too!)
