Out of curiosity, why are you doing this project? It started cause of a call for designs with a musical theme from the Embroiderer's Guild that I belong to. I could not think of a better theme than honouring the musical tradition that I have found so much joy in listening to, What sparked your interest in Atlantic Canadian music? I found Great Big Sea about two years ago and then the Barra MacNeils last summer and have since been trying to learn more about Atalantic Canadian music. You suggested Celtic colours, I have been trying to get the time off work to go for several months now ( no answer from the powers that be). Most of the information I am finding is from word of mouth sources, fans from one artist telling their friend who like another group to check out so and so. It has been great. :) You're looking to name many/most of them on your linen sheet? Not at all. I am looking to name the folks who have done the most. But as you and the others have pointed out this may be too many * insert sheepish grin* so I will probably end up exploring all the artists that have been/will be suggested and using the ones That I hear of the most often and some of the ones I enjoy most.

God! There are/were TONS of groups through the last hundred years? You're looking to name many/most of them on your linen sheet?

Well, let me get Kevin Evans on it, and Roger Stone.

Are you looking for song people, or musicians? either, really.
