Quick note to Rick Fielding.

You mention a couple of folk clubs in the Toronto area in a couple of your blogs. I, too, played at a couple of the folk clubs in Toronto in the early '60's, the Village Corner and the Bohemian Embassy. Unfortunately, this was before Tex Konig got up to Toronto, so I never had a chance to see him perform there. I can well imagine that Tex later felt the same affinity that I did for both the people in Canada and the wonderful atmosphere for folk singing that exists there. I think I read recently that the Bohemian Embassy is still in existence. Do they still have folk singers perform there now? I have very fond memories of that club and some of the special performers I met there during that time. It would be nice to know that some semblance of folk music is still alive and well in Toronto.
