My my, the places you're taken to when you Google yourself. With all due respect to Penny Lang, I certainly had nothing to do with dubbing her "Canada's First Lady of Folk." First of all, I didn't have a music program in the 60s before I became a weatherman. However, while I was a weatherman in the 70s and 80s, I did have a series of talk and interview shows that often included musical guests. First there was "McGowan & Company," then "McGowan's Montreal" and then "McGowan's World." I also had "Travel Travel," but that's another story. I do remember having Penny Lang as a guest, at least once or twice, on McGowan & Company, and I remember enjoying her very much. But I certainly wouldn't have, with my very limited knowledge of folksingers and folk music, given anyone such an exalted title.
