Jon Bartlett posts on Mudcat from time to time (great, informative web site, by the way;   Jon and Rika are darn good singers, and very knowledgeable).

Many good singers up that-a-way!

Also, there is Paddy Hernon in Victoria. My wife and I first met him in the late 1970s at one of the Northwest Folklife Festivals in Seattle. We haven't seen him since the early 1980s, but it looks like he's still around. Heck of a good singer! He has at least one record out (maybe more by now), from which I've brazenly stolen a number of good songs.
