I just received an invitation from the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals to attend their October conference in Ottawa (15th - 18th) to speak on touring the UK and to provide mentor session for performers. (All expenses paid.) I had to think really hard for... ooh... seconds, before accepting.

I am *so* pleased for you!

Isn't it wonderful that the things that you do because you want to/need to/no-one else will do, get recognised and someone says "thank you" in this very practical and joyous way!

Have a lovely time, bring back music!

I hope to bring back lots of music - in fact I'm hoping (as a byproduct of being there) that I find just-the-right-group to replace Tanglefoot on my agency roster now that my 'best boys' have retired.

Ottawa! I'm closer than you and I've never been there.

Where are you?

I've been to Canada loads of times, but when in Ontario I've always been based in Toronto, though I've sung in all sorts of places from Guelph, Sarnia, Brantford and Stratford to Owen Sound, Niagara (on the Lake) and Kingston. For some reason I've never made it to Ottawa, and only once been to Quebec. The only Canadian provinces I've not been to are Saskatchewan and the Northern Territories, but I admit to only passing through New Brunswick tweice on the drive from Nova Scotia to Maine.

Ah, right. We used to gig in places like Albany (and the Old Songs Festival in Altamount), Saratoga Springs (Caffe Lena), Ithaca (Bound for Glory Radio Show) etc., but I'm more framiliar with PA in general. My son is in Princeton at the moment (doing a PhD) but other than playing gigs in Morristown and (once) Trenton I lnow the inside of Newark Airport better than the rest of the state.
