Raylene Rankin’s All the Diamonds – Juno nomination
A great honour for which Raylene would have been proud and happy, a Juno nomination for “All The Diamonds” in the Adult Contemporary category. Well deserved, but again, bittersweet. How we wish she were here to enjoy this. Jamie Robinson should be congratulated, too, for his great contribution to the CD’s success. More later…..
Goodbye, Gillis Mountain
Last night, a dear friend gave me a copy of Diane Keaton’s biography “Then Again”. It was bookmarked to an end chapter and my friend asked if I would read those few pages aloud. Those pages listed the small things that fade and sink into memory – children’s play, things found, songs sung. Imagine my [...]
All The Diamonds honoured with ECMA nomination

Raylene Rankin – beloved friend
I’m sad beyond words about the death of my beloved friend and respected colleague, Raylene Rankin. There can be no measuring this loss, this grief. Simply put, she was best in many respects.

Bow River Folk Club
One of those nights. Late start, sinus problems, throat of razor blades…well, we all have nights like that. The air here is so arid that the few bits of laundry i washed out yesterday dried during soundcheck..not kidding. Hung them up at 3:45, they were dry by 5:00. Crazy dry. On the way to Medicine [...]

Often described as a "writer's writer", Susan Crowe is one of Canada's most respected singer songwriters in the folk genre. At once complex, challenging and accessible, Susan's intelligent and moving songs have captivated audiences and reviewers from coast to coast, continent to continent. She possesses, in the words of Britain's Folk Roots magazine, "that rare ability of crafting a lyric that bears scrutiny on its own terms." That rare ability has earned her two Juno nominations, and nominations from both the West Coast and East Coast Music Awards.
