Justin Ruthledge performing at Richard Flohil’s 75th anniversary

Richard in his youth, along with veteran radio guy John Donabie, at a Toronto High Park concert held some 10,000 years ago. The event starred Downcild, John Allan Cameron, and Murray McLauchlan, among others.

The promoter meets B.B. King; it was his first major concert in Canada in 1970 at Massey Hall.

Serena Ryder rocks at Mariposa; Richard watches with pride.

Richard handled publicity for a Toronto appearance by famed producer Joe Boyd (Pink Floyd, Fairport, Kate & Anna, REM, 10,000 Maniacs). Flohil was promoting Boyd’s wonderful new book on music in the sixties, White Bicycles.

Justin Rutledge has delivered fantastic shows at festivals this summer. Here he is on stage at Stewart Park.

Sarah French & Richard Flohil on the town

Yes, it all started here; the Sun Studio, where Howling Wolf made his first records.

Richard, his daughter Jill and his former assistant, Samantha Carter, ride the Memphis trolley car.

And it all ended here, in a blaze of outrageous tackiness.

Serena Ryder in Australia with my old journalist pal Ritchie Yorke, who used to work in Canada (and played a major role in getting CanCon regulations instituted in the early ’70s) and who now works on the Brisbane Sunday Mail….

Richard hits songwriter Eddie Schwartz with his best shot (er, Hit Me With Your Best Shot was Eddie’s biggest hit)

The OCFF’s Erin Benjamin (in yellow) leads hardy delegates for an early Sunday morning run/brisk walk. Among those who did their best include Flohil, wife Donna and daughter Jill, Calgary folk DJ Tom Coxworth and his Brampton counterpart Jan Vanderhorst and his wife, and Ottawa Folk Festival artistic director Chris White. Guess who walked, and guess who ran….
