Subject: RE: Little known '60s Folk Singers
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.

Gilles retired from piano tuning a few years ago and moved back to New Brunswick. Although I think he still back to Montreal often. I saw him about a year ago at Kirk MacGeachy's funeral in Montreal. Gilles was playing fiddle long before he hooked up with Jean Carignan. He fiddled on an early Chris Rawlings LP several years before his association with Carignan.
