Thread Name: Canadian Folk Music Awards
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards
I had a chance meeting with a native of Toronto a year or so ago in Durango, Colorado. Bob Canning, a former folk musician in the Toronto scene in the late 1950's, became an acclaimed art director and award winning film and television director before serious horse riding injuries caused him to become a full-time western artist. He grew up in Orillia, just down the street from Gordon Lightfoot. Does anyone recall this name from the Canadian "folk past?"
