one of my musician friends
related a story about a folk band he knew,
in the late 80's they played at a festival along with the
Cowboy Junkies. (the junkies liked one of their tunes they
asked if they could record it 'Hard Rock Miners'
the singer of the folk band said sure as long as he gets a credit
(it was a traditional tune) years later Peter ran into him
and they made a lot of money of that song even bought a house in Guelph. (all the while the Cowboy Junkies never made that much off
the cd)
