Subject: RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers
what about Fran and Gilles in the Montreal area. Fran Aiken lives out near the Ontario border now. played a couple of gigs with Torak at the Mayshow in Vankleek Hill. Gilles Lozier lives in the NDG area, still tunes piano and is a walking archives of obscure folk and roots music. He took up violin after his long association with Ti-Jean Carignan. I saw David Whiffen out of Ottawa a few years ago at a concert supporting the CBC on parliament Hill. Mr "Driving Wheel".....of course there's a whole crew on the Franco side of things... the chansonier... a list onto itself....
