At one point I actually found some film footage from Mariposa on a website somewhere. I think it was a film licensing company, and they were advertising stock footage - you could watch tiny snippets of some of the scenes. If I remember right, I got to that page by Googling "Toronto folk music history" or something like that.

I moved to Toronto in 1981, and I always feel like I missed the best years of Mariposa and the Fiddler's Green Folk Club. There are some fantastic reel-to-reel tapes still kicking around of all kinds of amazing performers at Fiddler's Green. Tam Kearney played me one a couple of months ago and I was blown away by the quality of it. I think they are looking into putting together some kind of retrospective album from those tapes.

Through conversations with Estelle Klein and others who were around, I've gotten something of a picture of the early folk scene, but it's always great to hear people's stories.
