Canadian picks: the late Stan Rogers of course (d 1983), James Keelaghan, Connie Kaldor, guitarist Don Ross (if you like adventurous acoustic playing), Lennie Gallant, JP Cormier who I saw last night...and beyond Canada, if you want to understand who is influencing about a zillion young women singer-songwriters who don't sit down to play, try out Ani DiFranco.
