Re Peter's question: "Hoot" was a little magazine produced by an organization I helped found, called The Guild of Canadian Folk Artists (later, the TORONTO Guild of Canadian Folk Artists - or was that just a discussion we had of an idea that never became reality? - ah the vagaries of memory). I was Hoot's first editor, hence I wrote its first editorial on its first-ever editorial page.

I didn't stay with the mag for long because I was on the road a lot and gone to England by early 1964. For almost forty years, I hung on to one copy of that first issue. It was in a box, along with a copy of the Chatelaine Magazine issue that included me as the only solo girl act in its major article on folksingers in Canada circa 1963. Also in that box were posters and playbills from many of my shows at home and abroad - some featuring the U.K concerts I did with Tom Paxton, John Renbourn, Alex Campbell, and a host of other folks who went on to do very well for themselves in folk biz.

When I met Paul Mills and made my solo CD with him in 2000, we filled the accompanying booklet with photos of many of those bits of memorabilia, including the cover of Hoot#1 and the Chatelaine photo, and after that, I lost the need to guard the paper collection with my life, so I may very well still have that one solitary issue of Hoot, packed away among the early publicity photo layouts, etc, but I haven't come across any of it since we moved into our present home in 2002.
