Just got off the phone with Penny. She is great and had a tremendous time at the Ottawa Folk Festival where she, Buffy and Kris Kristofferson did a work shop together. Penny as her humble self was in awe to have been included with these two idols of hers.
Bruce, she was so happy to hear that you have started writing again How she wished she could have been at the festival to hear you, Bob and Chris.
Bob Ryszkiewicz I read to her what you wrote above on this thread. She laughed and laughed. It was beautiful.
I then asked her if she knew how she got her handle. Get this, Don McGowan who was a great weather man on C.F.C.F. t.V. had a musical program before his weather stint. She couldn't remember the name of it. She said it was in the 60's and he had her as a guest. It was here that she got the handle as "Canada's First Lady of Folk"
