Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: Metchosin Date: 13 Dec 06 - 10:06 PM Love the cut Stone & Sand & Sea & Sky From Penny Lang's CD.....and Cockburn's....well I'm speachless. Great to see the west coast finally getting a bit more recognition in the nominees, for a change. |
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: bobad Date: 13 Dec 06 - 10:17 PM There is this thread. Maybe someone could combine them. |
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: GEST Date: 14 Dec 06 - 10:07 AM Metchosin is right... Except for the two nominations for Ron Hynes, the provinces of Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick weren't even in the running this year. GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador |
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: GUEST,dax Date: 14 Dec 06 - 03:21 PM Aw, they disqualified anyone from Cape Breton to give others a chance, but that's okay. As the old song goes "We got along without ya before we met ya, gonna get along without ya now. |
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: Metchosin Date: 14 Dec 06 - 04:28 PM You got it anyways Guest dax, I'm pretty certain the song Stone and Sand and Sea and Sky was written by someone from the east coast.....my mind's blank at the moment though. |
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: Metchosin Date: 14 Dec 06 - 07:22 PM ah yes, Rose Vaughan of Halifax I believe. |
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: GUEST Date: 15 Dec 06 - 08:13 AM Canada coast to coast...Montreal to Vancouver, as usual. Oh well, we do have our own awards "out" here. But it is amazing to have folk awards with nearly no one from Atlantic Canada involved. |
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: C. Ham Date: 15 Dec 06 - 12:53 PM But it is amazing to have folk awards with nearly no one from Atlantic Canada involved. One of the main orgainzers is Jean Hewson of Newfoundland. |
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: GUEST Date: 15 Dec 06 - 12:56 PM I meant in terms of Artists. Considering how much great music originates in Atlantic Canada , it surprising not to see more (or any) perfermers mentioned. |
Subject: RE: Canadian Folk Music Awards 2006 From: Peace Date: 15 Dec 06 - 05:45 PM I have been a fan of Penny's for about 35 years. This is great news for both her and Borealis Records. |
