WW, enjoy your trip. From a Canadian perspective, if you can get them, listen to Bourne & McLeod, fun and bouncy with guitar and bagpipes, or Bill Bourne & Shannon Johnson. Then there's James Keelaghan, one of our best contemporary singer/songwriters, who writes strong songs with a historical perspective. I've enjoyed anything I've listened to by Bok, Muir & Trickett..(not Canadian).. I understand Rick Fielding has a couple of CD's out, and I hear he's pretty good (**BG**).... Tanglefoot are an exciting and dynamic group who perform songs with a strong social message and a historical perspective. I could go on and on, but I won't....
