Subject: RE: Ellen MacIllwaine Cds
Ellen has been living in Calgary for awhile now... I used to hang out at her place when she lived in Montreal. What a cook! While in Montreal she recorded 'The Real E.M.' with a few folks from Ville Emard Blues Band. esp Bill Gagnon who produced it. Quentin Meek was the engineer. Funny, I was at Quentin's in Ottawa yesterday mixing some songs for the Kentucky project.... anyway... Ellen played the Ottawa Folk Fest this summer, I wasn't around for it, but she gets back east at least once a year... incredible talent and great lady, a real powerhouse.... Hendrix and her were good friends in the Woodstock days.. she also recorded a CD with Jack Bruce, another of her heros....
