Bruce Murdoch from Canada, was a regular on the sixties Greenwich Village folk scene before returning to Montreal in the late sixties. He was active there for several years but stopped performing sometime in the late-'70s and eventually became a high school principal in Alberta. Bruce's first full length album was released on Stormy Forest, Richie Haven's record company and in his autobiography "They Can't Hide Us Anymore" Richie Havens has some info on Bruce.

For many years Singer Songwriter Project was a rare, expensive collector's item. Fortunately, the album has recently been re-issued on CD in England together with David Blue's first solo album, with the complete liner notes as well (NOTE: one track by Patrick Sky was left off this CD). It is available on cduniverse.com. Make sure you get the Elektra release that has the two albums on one CD--there is a Collector's Choice release of just David Blue without Singer Songwriter.

Bruce Murdoch is much more obscure than the others, and I don't have much info on him. He had made a name for himself throughout the Quebec folk scene by the age of 17, and was discovered by Richie Havens' manager Jacob Solmon. Havens reports in his autobiography, They Can't Hide Us Anymore, that Murdoch was a prodigy who was so brilliant and well-read that he taught a literature course at McGill University. Solmon and Havens introduced Murdoch to the Greenwich Village scene, and in 1970 he recorded an album, 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Minute on Richie Haven's label, Stormy Forest. Apparently he stopped performing in the late 70s and eventually became a high school principal in Alberta, though he did record one album after that. Beverly Davies remembers him thus:
Bruce was a friend of mine. He had very pock marked face, something like Brian Adams, and he carried his guitar, a Sunburst Gibson Hummingbird, in a beat up old case. But when he played, my God he was good. In 1965, he hitched to Toronto (or may have been driven by Billy Littler) and stayed at our house at 16 Admireal Road, where he sat in the kitchen playing his music. We were all blown away. That weekend he played the Mariposa Folk Festival in Orilla, Ontario, north of Toronto. He was a great hit that weekend in 1965 at Mariposa, as we read in the press. Bruce would come through Toronto again and then I didn't see him for a year or so. I ran into him at a march on the UN in New York City. Bruce's songs come to mind when I walk a city block, and his "Rompin' Rovin' Days" is never far from mind.

And occasionally the big names from New York would give a concert or do a club date. Thelonious Monk, played at McGill and Dizzy Gillespie at the Esquire Show Bar on Peele- a wonderful night of live bebop jazz by one of its inventors and masters. Bob and I took centre seats at the horseshoe shaped bar right beneath Dizzy - so close we got hit with the spit from his horn; this was our heaven of smoke and beer and jazz - those dark clubs that became a kind of home for some of us. Likewise, the folk music scene was incredibly active. Sid would go to hear his heroes, Ritchie Havens, Dave Van Ronk, Bruce Murdoch, Leonard Cohen - players who would fill the small folk clubs on Stanley Street, Bishop or Mountains streets, giving a vibrant musical backdrop to downtown Montreal nights.
