This morning's print Globe 'n Mail has a 2-page spread that includes a Brad Wheeler tribute and another credited to "The Canadian Press".
   
The latter which mentions Robertson "getting guitar tips from Buddy Holly" requires clarification.  Did 15-yr old Robertson meet with Holly in 1957/58?    Or was he influenced by Holly's recorded material after Feb 1959?          

Not Sure this link will work:

This is a little late, but I thought some would find it interesting. This is one of the pages from the program that was sold at the infamous Woodstock concert, which took place 54 years ago this week. My American brother-in-law was there as a teen and gave it to me, little knowing back then it might be worth something today. And no, I'm not giving it back!

Robbie Robertson and The Band were there. They were the first ones onstage on the final day, Sunday, Aug. 17, 1969.


 

Just a year after his death, an all star concert is going to be held in tribute to late Canadian musical icon Robbie Robertson. Among those scheduled to appear: Eric Clapton, Mavis Staples, Elvis Costello and Van Morrison. Just to name a few. 

"Life Is A Carnival" sounds like a great bash, but it won't come cheap - you'll have to be in L.A. to see it and there's no word on ticket prices. It will be held October 17th.

Bob Dylan?

He is not in Ontario and doesn't play gigs.
