Sweet memories......I attended the first TWO Wpg Folk Festivals in the 1970's. Now I live 110 miles northwest of Wpg, but I spent my first 35 years in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Winnipeg Folk Festival is still terrific by all accounts in the local media coverage. Great music,workshops, attendance and facilities.It really is a top notch affair. I'm sure some more recent goers will respond soon. I remember seeing Buffie St Marie back then...lots of rain and laughter. I found a weekend pass to the 1975 Festival in the basement just now... you tweeked me! I slowly wound up gravitating to the "BLUES" and it's rich history. BB King played the Wpg Concert Hall with his 7 piece band two nights ago. Two hour show,-not bad for 72 years young. 5 stars it gets. Bye
