A duo from the seventies that did a fantastic song called Those Dance Hall Girls. I'm sure they're not on a stamp but does anyone else remember Frasier and Debolt??? |

Alan Fraser, who wrote "Dance Hall Girls" lives in Montreal and is still around. He has a Myspace page. Daisy DeBolt is in Ontario somewhere, performs a lot and has released several CDs in recent years. |

But by whatever name, anytime Canada promotes it's own; it's a cause for celebration. These things will be seen by the world community. It's a good thing. p.s. Just communicated with Allan Fraser not long ago. He's doin' it. bob |
