I had a scout round the net and found this site with an email link to his record company -the email address being mpotyra@troubadour-records.com

And here is another page about him. (And I see his birthday was July 8th 1948)

And here is an address to a Toronto based site where you might maybe find people who'd be on the same wavelength as you, and Toronto is apparently Raffi's home town. So who knows?

I'm afraid I've never heard of Raffi or heard him - but he sounds as if he's pretty OK.

Anyway, good luck to Darren and to you.
