Subject: RE: Canadian folk icon Vera Johnson
Thanks for the nudge, Bob. Yes, everything got put on hold re the Vera show (which is still coming). We need to fit CBC's schedule, and also, they can only play CD's (they have no capacity for 8-tracks, reel to reel, cassette, LP's 78's, EP's etc.), so we've been madly Cdizing early recordings of Vera and also her 2 LP's. Rika and I are days away from moving from New Westminster to Princeton (3 hrs inland) and so are up to our armpits in 19 years-worth of accumulated crud. Plus we're heading for Mystic, Old Songs and Library of Congress in June, Jon driving and Rika flying, plus Rika is retiring from 23 years of teaching). So what else is new?

We want to make the show a good one. We normally do it live, but I think this time it will not be possible. As soon as we put the show in the can, and get a date from Sheryl McKay, the show's host, we'll let everyone on this thread know. Thank you all for your patience!
