Subject: RE: Canadian folk icon Vera Johnson
I have a couple of memories of Vera Johnson. I remember seeing her perform at Winnipeg in the late 70's, and another time hanging out at a Unitarian conference, god knows where but quite likely minneapolis, and she was singing in a "hospitality suite" there.

I know Toronto has a kind of "assisted housing" centre for old artists, there should be one in every city! That'd be the fun one to go play at. But on the other hand, it sounds like Vera is doing what she's always done, bringing music to the surroundings she finds herself in. There are worse ways to spend your time...
