Thread Name: John Layton - Toronto singer
Subject: John Layton - Toronto singer
Many years ago, the early sixties, I played in a duo at a Hootenanny in the basement of Binkley United Church in West Hamilton, Ontario. One of the other performers was John Layton, at the time a student at the Ontario College Of Art in Toronto. He played with another Art student whose first name was Brian. I remembered John, not only because he was good, but because he and I both had Goya M-26 guitars from the late fifties.
I recently saw an album at a party called Femmes Fatales by a singer/songwriter from Toronto named John Layton and wonder if this was the same guy. The John from the Hoot had a father who was a professional wrestler nomed Lord Athol Layton. Does anyone know if this is the same John Layton and how I could get in touch with him. Does he have a website or a myspce page?
