Theme:   Jay Ansill - The Two Horizons  -  Origami - Flying Fish

Last week I attended the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals , hosting a panel on radio airplay. Here is a link to the tips I outlined for the workshop: http://www.wjffradio.org/FolkPlus/OCFF.html   The panel included: Sonny Ochs, Chopper McKinnon, Mike Regenstreif and Bill Stunt.  In attendance were venue operators, musicians, and labels.I had a great time.

Ian Tamblyn was honored at a gala dinner on Saturday night.  His new release Voice in the Wilderness is really beautfiul. When I reviewed it for Sing Out last spring, I had trouble taking it off my player to move onto other disks.  James Keelaghan noted during his interview (link below) that this recognition of Tamblyn is long overdue.

Tursday of this week, I hosted Cosy Sheridan at a new area venue.  On Friday I interviewed James Keelaghan who was playing at Bodles. James has planned the first hour of Folk Plus. Cosy Sheridan chose the second hour.
