She was performing at some event like homecoming or carnival or something like that. Being all of seventeen years old I was smitten with her, who wouldn't be, it was the sixties, she had long straight hair, played a guitar and sang folk songs. Much to my shame I haven't seen her perform live since but I have heard her recordings. |

Great lady as well. She will respond to your inquiry or request.

20 Sep 07 - 10:13 PM (#2153989) Subject: RE: Folklore: Canada's First Lady of Folk From: frogprince Humph; shows what you know, Beer! It's been a few years now, but Penny did a house concert in Rochester Hills, Michigan for a series that my wife and I usually attend. We enjoyed her immensely, and her voice still issues from our CD player regularly. I'm not in any position to book performers myself, or I would check out any possiblities in a heartbeat. The one thing I could do is put in a word at the Flint Folk Music Society, and loan a CD to their booking person to back it up. I suspect that their schedule is set through next spring, though.

But then, "First Lady of Folk", to me, is one of those kind gestures/titles that all the women mentioned are deserving, but my vote still goes to Penny... This is a great lady who gave me a helping hand and friendship and although personal contact has been sparse over the near 40 year period since I first met her, whenever I do see her, there's always a big smile and a hug... If you are in the Montreal area November 16/07, Penny will be doin' her FOLK THANG at Sala Rosa on Blvd. St. Laurent, or so I hear tell from David Young, who along with John Carson and myself are grouping together a serious posse, or pack of bandidos, who will descend like paratroopers("supertrooper love is gonna find you, shining like the sun," my God, I just had an ABBA attack) on the aforementioned Sala in a form of modest YELLOW DOOR REUNION.

26 Sep 07 - 11:09 PM (#2158196) Subject: RE: Folklore: Canada's First Lady of Folk From: Beer George, I think there is a difference between a person who collects folk songs and a person who sings them. I agree that Helen did a tremendous deed in her contribution to the preservation of folk music(in the Maritines)and deserves the recognition as Canada's First Lady of Folklore. But to me Penny owns the title as "First lady of Folk" because she is known as a singer across Canada. I think there is a distinction in the works that they have done and in Penny's case still doing. How Penny got the title I don't know and there are certainly others out there who have been mentioned on this thread that could very well be deserving. But the bottom line in this. Penny has the title, it was started somewhere, and cannot be taken away. Even if contributors to this thread disagree. Most of us have nick names. I've been dubbed a few like Age, Abe, Ad. and others I won't mention. They belong to me because they were given to me whether I like them or not. Bruce Springsteen "The Boss" comes to mind. Hank Snow "Hank Slush". The list goes on and would be fun as a separate thread. Lets not get to serious on this thread. It was just started as fun Beer (adrien) |

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" |

There are so many fine performers, some you've never heard of, ignored when one (whom I've never heard of) is bestowed or adopts such a title. I've never really measured any folk entertainer by the size of their audience but rather, their ability to stay true to themselves despite the audience or lack there of. And then there's Buffy.... Different league. I'll check out Suzie Leblanc now. |

27 Sep 07 - 01:13 PM (#2158642) Subject: RE: Folklore: Canada's First Lady of Folk From: GUEST,Bob Ryszkiewicz Thanks Beer: Hey Penny, playing with Buffy and Kris is where you should be Wildwoman! Don McGowan, yes. There was a Blood Donor Clinic way back when and the neurons are trying to remember if I was playing there to entertain the troops, or if I was giving blood, or both. The Mind, what a tool! Anyhound, Don McGowan is a class act all-around. Met him at the clinic. One of those personalities you just don't forget. Humble and with the dry humour and wit. Some of you may remember his wearing of the Canadian flag on his back during the Referendum vote in Quebec during his weather forecast on T.V. Not allowed to say anything, but that spoke volumes... CFCF, yes,(Or maybe CBC, my goodness...) did one of my first appearances on T.V. there. They let Folksingers out of their cages and put 'em on T.V. back then, for all of you young-un's. I believe it was me, Sean Gagnier, and one other performer(maybe Tex?) I just don't remember...Anyway, I'm sitting on the stool in front of the cameras and I see the mic's a bit low, so I try to touch it and a voice comes out of the darkness/control room, " Don't TOUCH that!" Then 3, count 'em 3, stagehands come over and lift the mic 1". The Union... Silly little Folksinger. I still remember walking in the darkness of the soundstage going in. I'm pretty sure it was Sean, who turns to me, and here I can't remember who said it. THE BIG TIME! Lol. But, I remember that weird little chuckle that Sean used to have when he met up with something truly strange... Back to the thread. Didn't know it was Don who gave Penny the title, but it seems to have stuck....Penny, if you're reading this...big Hugs from Cyberspace and the new album is just great. Roma got you to use that voice in new ways and it's workin' fine! xoxo bob |

(If you figure out what that means, let me know. It just popped into the 'ol noggin from the depths.) Was thinking about Ron's comments on stamps and Joni and all. What a nice collection for stamp afficianados. "Canada's First Ladies of Folk." A melange/series of the famous and not so famous regional performers. All the women mentioned here could fit in. What a collector's item. I guess the powers that be might want to keep the people who get on stamps as a select group, but it sure would get the word out about women's contribution to this art form to the entire world. Oh well... bob |

Almost all new stamp ideas, such as yours, come from 'ordinary' folks then go through a lengthy selection process....finally being recommended or not by the 'Committee'. The 2009 issues are now being decided through this process... so most of what you lick, stick, or collect start as interesting ideas such as yours.... and Ms. Lang would look good although it would cost more than a Penny.... go for it....

29 Sep 07 - 01:05 PM (#2159970) Subject: RE: Folklore: Canada's First Lady of Folk From: GUEST,Don McGowan My my, the places you're taken to when you Google yourself. With all due respect to Penny Lang, I certainly had nothing to do with dubbing her "Canada's First Lady of Folk." First of all, I didn't have a music program in the 60s before I became a weatherman. However, while I was a weatherman in the 70s and 80s, I did have a series of talk and interview shows that often included musical guests. First there was "McGowan & Company," then "McGowan's Montreal" and then "McGowan's World." I also had "Travel Travel," but that's another story. I do remember having Penny Lang as a guest, at least once or twice, on McGowan & Company, and I remember enjoying her very much. But I certainly wouldn't have, with my very limited knowledge of folksingers and folk music, given anyone such an exalted title. |

19 Nov 07 - 11:27 AM (#2197523) Subject: RE: Folklore: Canada's First Lady of Folk From: GUEST,Bob Ryszkiewicz C. Ham: Penny's show was one of the strongest, most memorable times that I've ever seen. I got a chance to speak with her backstage for a few minutes before the show, Her baby-brother, Scotty had passed away this past year, so I wanted to give her a hug... It was one of those times where everything came together. The audience was filled with singers and musician's who sang back-up. Just beautiful. Ken Whiteley and Annabelle Chovstek opened, and then provided some inspired back-up. Mike Regenstreif was there. New job. Still one of the strongest supporters of Folk Music around. David Young, a singer/writer/web-developer, organized the dinner for about 12 people at the restuarant before the show. Spanish theme, paellas, tapas, flan(I got 2). I kept wanting to sing "boots of Spanish leather". Ha... Penny made sure she brought along some songs written on sheets of paper. Apparently some fans had made some requests, so she didn't let them down. She really covered the bases with her "kitchen music," sing-alongs, and well-known pieces. "Get on that train to Jordan, you don't need a ticket, you just get on-board..."(People get Ready). You see these references in Mudcat threads about "Folk Clubs", "Support", and keeping Folk music alive. It's really about Spirit, isn't it? It's about choices. Getting off the couch, and DOING it. What else would drive a woman in her mid 60's(In her heart, sweet 16, a knight would never reveal a damsels true age) to get on a plane in near winter and come to Montreal? It's way past money... It reminds me of a story I might have told in one of these threads before. I was tired from working in a metal factory, but I wanted to play the Blues. So, I went down to Jo-Jo's, a local club that has a jam on Sundays. It was getting late, and I had to get up early the next day. The fatigue was kicking in...Then, on the wet, muddy floor(it had been snowing outside} crawling toward the stage, was a man with no legs. He had a harmonica in his hand, and wanted to play. I wasn't tired anymore. I stayed, and played... Support Folk Music...Bruce Murdoch/Jan4/08 La Sala Rossa, 4848 St. Laurent, Montreal... bob |
