Something doesn't quite add up here. A performance artist who sells MILLIONS of records in France but lives in Winnipeg? I think darq was thinking of the Quebec (Montreal?) based performance artist Michel Lemieux. In summary: Daniel Lanois - producer of Peter Gabriel, U2, Bob Dylan, etc.; also has solo album out; he is from Hamilton, Ontario Daniel LaVoie - pop chanteur; megastar in France but lives in Winnipeg Michel Lemieux - little known performance artist from Quebec (Montreal?) [As a side note, Daniel Marois, Mario Marois and Mario Lemieux are all NHL hockey players who should not be confused with any of the above! :-) ] Just thought I'd try and clear up some confusion (at least I think I got it right :-) By the way, I read in a "predictions for 1990" column by an entertainment writer in a Toronto newspaper that he expects Daniel Lanois to produce the next album by, get this, Anne Murray! Anyone else here about this? Gregg Simmons g.simmons@waterloo.ncr.com

Anne, one of the many tiny little French towns surrounding the south of Winnipeg. He is know throughout the French world, really, and is often a point I use to start off conversation with people from France and Switzerland. >Michel Lemieux - little known performance artist from Quebec (Montreal?) Yep, he lives in Montreal. His last album and tour was much better than the first one, but not as well known. )-; >By the way, I read in a "predictions for 1990" column by an entertainment >writer in a Toronto newspaper that he expects Daniel Lanois to produce the >next album by, get this, Anne Murray! Anyone else here about this? I wouldn't be surprised; David Foster was supposed to have done one for Veronique Beliveau and Aldo Nova did one for/with Celine Dion. MOney is what matters. Look, Liza Minelli's latest album is done with the Pet Shop Boys and Tom Jones sang with The Art of Noise... gld -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Je me souviens ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gary L.

The February 1990 issue of CD Review claims that Daniel Lanois' album is *Cajun* music. Hope they choke on back bacon. Richard Link, Ph.D. Space Sciences Laboratory

I may be in error, but the Cajun's down in Lousiana are Acadians...the Acadians who were forced(?) to leave Canada and settled in the South. So Acadian music and Cajun music are intimately related. -- Gerald Olchowy <golchowy@gpu.utcs.utoronto.ca> Chemical Physics Theory Group, Department of Chemistry University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1A1

So Acadian music and Cajun music are intimately related. Yes, I know the history of Cajuns. What I meant was, I think that most French Canadians would be surprised having their music classified as Cajun. Perhaps there is a historical link, but several centuries of separation have resulted in unique musical styles. Richard Link Space Sciences Laboratory
