1972 revisited with Kirk Felix and friends

Kirk Felix arrived at our little studio with a whole band; bass, violin (fiddle), and cajon. As we did our sound check the Song Talk crew all savoured the gentle, soothing and heart-warming sounds of a folk ensemble. Patrick Ballantyne sat in for Neel Modi who was on assignment. In addition to two very authentic folk songs (Dusty Roads and Whispering Peace), we talked about:

• Family focus and finding time for music
• Songwriters’ Cafe Roundtable
• Fat Albert’s open mic in Toronto
• Open mics in York Region
• Winterfolk Festival
• Gordon Lightfoot
• Authentic voice, honest music
• Personal or universal writing?
• Folk versus country
• Enunciation, pronunciation – being understood
• Chord substitutions
