	Mariposa folk festival
		Control of the festival subsequently passed through several hands before it was taken over in turn by the Toronto Guild of Canadian Folk Artists in 1969 and by the Mariposa Folk Foundation in 1977.
		Mariposa was banned from the Orillia area in 1964 because of public disturbances by festival-goers in the first three years.
		The festival was discontinued in 1980, at which time the foundation increased its year-round activities with concerts at Harbourfront (and in later years at various Toronto clubs and halls).

		The scope of her diversified knowledge of the folk idiom, had valuable potential and was sought by many, but alas, no stage, microphone, not even seats for the audience were provided.
		Certainly we have seen the picnic table that fell victim to the exhuberance of festivity but we have also seen a well-spoken attractive blonde who knocked on tent-flaps of campers (quite a feat at that) and made a voluntary collection for the pensioners who gave free use of their land.

	Folk Music History Outline
		Folk music gave rock content and lyrical depth while rock breathed new life into folk music, and provided a musical dynamism that took it to new and larger audiences.
		Folk music and the organized workers’ movement never acquired the organic connection envisioned by the left, and while a real link between many folk music artists and an array of social movements has existed and continues to exist, folk music also has evolved into the minor leagues of the pop music industry.

	JMDL LIBRARY: Founders see festival dying with dignity: Toronto Star, January 21, 1987
		The Mariposa Folk Foundation, which has run Canada's best-known annual traditional music and crafts festival since the early 1960s, may be put to death later this month by some of the people who have loved it most.
		Mariposa has suffered substantial losses since 1980, despite the sponsorship of Molson brewery from 1983-86 and a member-financed debt-retirement program that whittled $30,000 off a $170,000 deficit the past few months.

		If the Folk Music Festival became known for its diversity and eclecticism, as well as its providing a stage for political artists from around the world, Folklife was an exploration of Canada.
		I discovered the Folk Festivals organized by Gibbons of the CPR in the late 20`s and began to try and define in my own mind what Folk Music meant and how it had developed in Canada.
		Once again, I was in a more academic milieu, debating the concept of folk with folklorists as well as spending time with artists who carried on their cultural traditions on a daily basis outside the music industry.

	Calgary Folk Music Festival - 25 years of Folk Festival
		The Calgary Folk Music Festival was a mere teenager, still struggling to regain its footing after a seemingly uninterrupted streak of rain-drenched events which gave sinister new meaning to divine retribution, and all it was trying to do was cap a fun weekend with the good-time choruses of a well-loved Texas boogie band.
		The Festival was ultimately given its easements (funny how a strategic mention of the Stampede seemed to expedite this process) and did everything it could, acoustically and otherwise, to live in harmony with its neighbours.
		The Festivals of the early '90s were pivotal in several ways, not the least of which was convincing patrons that the event was not cosmically cursed.

	Folk File: U
		In fact, it means that the performers are using microphones and acoustic instruments instead of pickups or electric guitars.
		Mariposa Folk Festival's recent claim that they have been "unplugged since 1961" ignores the fact that instrumentalists are changing over to pickups instead of miked acoustic instruments, a change that is not always for the better.
		In the case of rock or pop groups, however, it might result in quite a change from their original sound when they switch to acoustic instruments.

		It was in July 2002 that I caught Steve, appearing by himself, at the Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia, Ontario.
		At Mariposa he treated us to an acoustic sneak preview of John Walker's Blues, a human perspective on the brandishing of American Taliban John Walker Lindh as a traitor, and the album's title track, Jerusalem, a hopeful reminder for a media-drenched, interdependent world that the Middle East is worth saving.
		So when I returned to Toronto after the festival I posted an account of the weekend including a review of Steve's two colourful performances, the second of which featured a persistent swarm of fl flies, a charging fan, and a visit from the Hells Angels.
