Subject: RE: Lyr Req: When I Can't Play (Joan MacIsaac)
Joan MacIssac passed away back in the early 90's I believe at far too young an age.

I saw her play twice, in 1982 in Saskatoon opening for Connie Kaldor and a few years later at the Copper Kettle in Regina. She had a tremendous voice and stage presence. Her brother played bass with her that night.

Check out her ode to Peter Mansbridge, The Man Who Reads the News. Wintersong was unfortunately her only release and was pre-CD.
