GUEST,Jon Bartlett	Canadian folk icon Vera Johnson (122* d)	RE: Canadian folk icon Vera Johnson	19 Mar 07
Just got back onto Mudcat and noticed the thread. Rika Ruebsaat and I have a regular spot on "North by Northwest" (CBC-1, Sats and Suns 6-9, BC only: 101.7 in Vancouver) and we're preparing a one-hour show on Vera and her music to be aired either 1 April or sometime in May. We'll post the time here as soon as we know. Vera's oevre is a snapshot of the late sixties-early seventies. The themes she touched on in her songs and her articles(women's liberation, the environment movement, political struggles on the left) are still with us, of course, and Vera's songs from the earliest days of the folk song revival in Canada remind us that nothing is achieved in a day and a night. She was also (for fans of such)into filk music: "The Sweetheart of Sordido V" is hers. I myself bought a bunch of her sci-fi books, including a first edition (1952) of "Player Piano". Jon Bartlett
