Next weekend is the 51st annual edition of the  Mariposa Folk Festival, and I still find I have 3 shows from last year to release.  Last summer, I finally got the chance to interview Suzie Vinnick.  I first became aware of Suzie and her amazing voice in the late 80s when I was attending university in Saskatoon. Suzie was a featured performer on a local radio station, C95′s compilation of local musicians,  Cityworks 88.  Over the years I have seen her perform at numerous festivals, but this is the first time I had a chance to chat with her.  You may also recognize her voice from the “Always Tim Horton’s” jingles.   Enjoy.

Last summer I sat down with Canadian Folk legend Caitlin Hanford, at the 50 anniversary of the Mariposa Folk Festival.  Caitlynn Hanford is  a solo-singer songwriter, she is 1/4 of Quartette with Sylvia Tyson, Gwen Swick and Cindy Church, and she sings in the Marigolds with Gwen Swick and Susie Vinnick.  She is also an elementary school music teacher so our conversation steered towards a discussion on teaching music to children.

After four years and 120+ interviews with songwriters I think I accomplished what I set out to do when I started the podcasters.  I have interviewed some amazing musicians, I’ve grown as a songwriter, and I have done the radio show I always wanted.

But I still have about half a dozen unreleased shows from last summer and fall,  and occasionally I run across a musician I would really like to interview.  So I’m not going to end this show completely– just become a periodic podcast producer.

 

The 51st Edition of the Mariposa Folk Festival is right around the corner on July 8-10, 2011.  I still have 4 unreleased interviews from last year’s festival with some wonderful musicians.  I will try to release these shows leading up to the festival this year.

To get this started, please enjoy a few of my pictures from last year’s Mariposa Folk Festival.

Dave Borins is a Toronto singer-songwriter who seemingly effortlessly crosses between folk, country, and hard-edged rock and roll.  I caught up with him at the Mariposa Folk Festival.  Dave and his band will be recording a live album on October 20 and 21, 2010 at Hugh’s Room in Toronto.  It is bound to be a great event.

To cap things off, it turns out that today is his birthday, a fitting day to release this episode. Happy Birthday Dave.

This summer I volunteered at the open stage at the Mariposa Folk Festival. There I met Sean Peever,  a musician I had been wanting to hear for many years.  The two of us and Shawn Sage make up a trifecta of folksinging Seans in Ontario. For this episode, Sean and I both played a lovely handmade guitar built by Ron Belanger.  Listen for a twilight zone moment partway through the show when a fish falls from the sky.  I’m not kidding.

Songs:

Theme Music: For the Sake of the Song (©2003 S. McGaughey)

City Dreams (© Sean Peever)

Bad Joe Hall (© Sean Peever)
