I heard today that Penny Lang (Canadian folk singer) has had a minor stroke. She has cancelled all her engagements for the next two months.

I hope she has a full and speedy recovery.

Let's hope it's minor! Such a wonderful performer and spirit.

Best I ever saw her play was at a songwriters' workshop at Winnipeg. Don't even remember the song but it was just the greatest evocation of, I dunno, call it good vibes--everybody singing along to something we'd never heard before. Dick Gaughan, Mr. Fairness and Equity, was the host--of course it was supposed to be a round-robin format. He just looked at her and said "Ach, Penny. Do another one."

So she did. Great call, I thought.

I sincerely hope Penny has the same spirit in her heart as she does in her singing. Does anyone know an address for sending cards/messages to her for a speedy recovery????

Penny suffered heart irregularity and several mini-strokes while on tour in Newfoundland. She spent several days in hospital there and returned to her home, here in Montreal.

She was ordered to cancel her performing/touring schedule for two months but expects to resume again in July.
