  Some Edgefest help?!

So I decided to make the trip to Edgefest after all. Bought tickets for myself and six of my friends. After doing so, I come to find out that the only ticketmaster outlet in my town has recently been closed. So, I had to have the tickets shipped by courrier. Now I learn that there is this gigantic car show in Barrie the same weekend. Hotel/motel/cardboard box, will all be impossible to find. Tried my luck with Orillia, nothing doing there either. So it looks as though I may be pitching a freakin' tent somewhere out in the bush. Any ideas out there? Anybody know of close campsites to Molson Park?

Part deux: The gates open at the concert at noon. What time will the bands start to come on? How many bands? And how late will the show last? I imagine by the time my tent is up, I'll just make it for the Hip anyways.

Thanks for any help.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on the video for Pascal's Submarine? I live in Halifax, so obviously I think it's a fantastic video. Wink However, I don't even have cable TV, so I've only seen it once. Sigh.
So yeah, if anyone has any input, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks kindly...!

August 12, 2003
Media information / For immediate release

Canadian labels unite to release
a star-studded tribute to Canada’s
greatest songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot

The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, Ron Sexsmith,
Cowboy Junkies and Bruce Cockburn are among
the artists who have recorded Lightfoot songs for
the first-ever salute to Canada’s premier songwriter

Borealis Records, Canada’s pre-eminent folk/roots label and NorthernBlues, Canada's cutting-edge blues label have combined forces to release “Beautiful: A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot.” The upcoming album will be released in Canada, the United States, and a number of overseas markets, on October 7 this year.

Some of North America’s best-known roots and blues artists produced and recorded their own interpretations of some of Lightfoot’s best-known songs.

The Cowboy Junkies open the album with “The Way I Feel” and are joined by a cast of performers that include The Tragically Hip, who recreate “Black Day in July,” Blue Rodeo, with one of Lightfoot’s earlier songs, “Go Go Round,” Murray McLauchlan, who essays a personal solo version of “Home From the Forest.” and Bruce Cockburn who delivers a soulful version of “Ribbon of Darkness” — the first Lightfoot “hit” recorded by Marty Robbins.

Other Lightfoot hits are here too: “Sundown” (Jesse Winchester), “For Loving Me” (Terry Tufts), “If You Could Read My Mind” (Connie Kaldor) and the classic “Canadian Railroad Trilogy.” from Canadian folk hero James Keelaghan.

Ron Sexsmith — who once lined up to get Lightfoot’s autograph — performs “Drifters,” while other artists include Blackie & The Rodeo Kings (“Summer Side of Life”), guitarist Harry Manx (“Bend in the Water”), Quartette (Song for a Winter’s Night”), and Maria Muldaur (“That Same Old Obsession.”)

The CD closes with a simple salute to the songwriter. “Lightfoot” is sung by Aengus Finnan, a young singer who represents the new generation of Canadian songwriters who regard Gordon Lightfoot as an artist who broke boundaries by writing songs that were uniquely Canadian, and that remain influential, and enormously popular, today.

The principals of the two labels are delighted that the project — which has been in the making for almost two years — is finally about to be released. Said Grit Laskin of Borealis: “Gordon Lightfoot is the most significant figure on Canada’s folk scene, and has been creating wonderful music for well over 30 years. Canadians — and many others around the world — know so many of his songs.” Fred Litwin, who heads NorthernBlues, added: “This has been a labour of love for both labels, and the willingness of all the artists to get involved shows how grateful they are to Gordon Lightfoot for the music he created.”

Surprisingly, this is the first album that’s paid tribute to Lightfoot’s astonishing catalogue of songs — which are still available on almost 20 different albums.

The salute is being announced a week after it was announced that Lightfoot
has been appointed a Companion of the Order of Canada.

“Beautiful” has been executive-produced by Colin Linden, and will include a 20-page booklet. A special series of events is being planned to coincide with the release of “Beautiful” in early October. The album will be distributed in Canada by Festival Distribution and in the United States by Big Daddy Music Distribution, based in New Jersey.

Hey all,
Just sitting here in getting pumped for the Vancouver show next week (next week!!) and I can hardly wait. Anyways just wondering if anyone has the Chancellor and Pascal's Sub videos or knows where I can dl them?. As I have no access to music video channels of any sort it makes it hard for me to see them and I would love to catch a glimpse. I checked thehundredthmeridian but they only have Hip vids unless I'm looking in the wrong spot. Thanks in advance!!

Thanks
