[net.music.folk] Valdy

Someone asked about Valdy a few weeks ago, but I didn't make a note of
who it was, so I'm posting this, the first thing I've heard about him in
at least seven years:

He has a new album just out called "Notes From Places", which is on Duke
Street records.  According the The Toronto Star, it's "his first adult
album in four years."  Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether the Duke Street
label exists outside of Canada, and if not, I don't know whether the album
has been picked up by any labels outside of Canada. (probably not)

For those of you who live near enough to Toronto, he will be performing
at Ontario Place next Thursday (May 23) at 8:30.  At Ontario Place, you don't
have to worry about buying your tickets in advance because you can't.  Park
admission (which was $4 last year) on the day of the concert allows you to
attend the concert for free, and seats are allocated on a first come first
served basis, but if they're all taken when you get there (probably unlikely
for Valdy), you can watch from the grass.  Ontario Place is on the lake
immediately south of the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) and a few
kilometres west of downtown Toronto.  Enjoy the show.
