Hi Lori
I just became aware of your music. I'm hoping to get out to The Dakota to hear you this week. Well I just thought I'd say hello. That's the risk you take when you let people leave comments.Take care Lori. All the best.

Hey lori, glad to see your still doing the circuit. I don'nt know if you remember me. I used to go with Jill Goldie, back in early 80's. I went and saw you play some gigs in orangeville, Toronto. I came a cross one of your cd's in a used record/cd shop in vancouver about 5 years ago. It was great. hav'nt listened to it for a while white cover with you on it in a baby blue colour. I will look for it. and listen to it again. Do you have any dates coming up for bc? Love to hear from you. Boy I sure miss the T.O. night life. Been in bc since 93. chat soon David Kennedy

Hi: Lori
Thanks for the heads-up on the gig this past weekend but we were at a family reunion in Wainfleet on the good old Feeder Rd. Would love to have seen you and the gang, would have been worth the 6 hr drive.
Please say Hi to David, Basil, and Michele.
When you coming to play in the north, say Manitoulin Island. They started Manitoulin Country Fest II
So sorry we missed you, like the days of sitting on the sofa and listening to you perform at Readers visiting and chatting between sets

Hi Lori,
Well tonight my husband and I were out for supper. On the TV was the rerun of the show Super Dave Osbourn and you were the feature performer. We took note of your name to see if you were still performing and found this website. Just wanted to tell you that. Hopefully we can see you perform. Are you ever in the Kitchener-Waterloo area?
Cheers!

trying and trying to get a song of yours promises,promises my mother inlaw had the song is is dieing to get it back and can't find out how or where, trying to help her out and make her the happyest mother out there please someone help me find this song
Hi Lori, met you and that very fine geetar player David at the London Music Club last night.Enjoyed your show and especially your great vocals and David's slide.The cd is great, especially Simcoe , Mommy Jail and Maria. Next week I am making my annual visit to San Miguel De Allende Mexico, where my daughter Celeste is a school teacher, and my grandaughter Sapphire is the Jewel of central Mexico.
Lori, I know you like a good family story, so here is Celeste's, the daughter who just did not listen and did her own thing ( sound familiar Girl?).
One day when Celeste was about 4 years old and having a problem with wetting the bed, she came downstairs and Daddy picked her up. I said " Celeste,your Pajamas are a little bit wet"; without any hesitation, Celeste said, " yes Daddy , but they are a little bit dry"
For the next 20 years she continued to tell me a little bit of the truth; a song title?
Best of luck,If you are out ramblin', I live in Nairn, right next to the pioneer Scottish cemetary, and my neighbours are usually quiet.

Hi Lori,
Just heard your song "Simcoe" on CBC. It brought back a lot of memories of when I was the farmer's daughter and we boarded tobacco pickers, not in Simcoe, but Waterford. You must be a Norfolk County native, your song rang true!

Just heard the CBC Radio 2 program "Fuse" with Wendy McNeill & David Baxter.
Remarkable collaboration.
I'm listening to MP3 of "Simcoe" for 3rd or 4th time, picking along (Key of B) with the lead.
Beautiful.
Thank you.

I just happened to turn on CBC Radio this afternoon and heard most of the show with you, Wendy and David. Delightful and I'm pleased to be introduced to you and your music. I am a big fan of Rick Danko and I knew that I was going to like "Simco" even before you started playing. Come to Windsor or Detroit for a show sometime! Best Regards.

You'd a done ole gunt Leonard proud last night - you got some Montreal, Jewish guilt-ridden man, suffering from a love/hate relationship with Ma, gospel in ya, girl! I am envisioning a blues/gospel CD as your next venture - cause why not cover all the genres not played on popular, i.e. ridiculously banal, radio.
Tingles, shivers, tears - it's kinda neat to have a friend who's so fucking talented. Kudos, bravo, and endless accolades - you make we mere mortals humble in your presence.

Lori,
Last night at The Cameron House was amazing...it's weird, I've heard you sing a couple of lines of a song while at work, but last night seeing and hearing you, I was blown away. I'm listening to Minerva right now - and I'm keeping Babydoll in mind for a time when I need a good cry...stunning!
See you!

Lori, thanks for your email from a couple of weeks ago. I have been away "bluegrassing" and not plugged in. I love your latest CD, which I found on CDBaby. All the cuts!! I have it nearly worn out. Of all the female vocalists I have in my collection, from Nora Jones to Laurie Lewis/etc. you are in #2 spot, second only to Emmy Lou Harris, and I may soon move you to #1!! Hope to meet you someday, Lloyd

I'm not sure if you remember me but I used to live with Stan from the Last Resorts. You were out with me the night I met my current husband Gordon at The Beverly Hotel approx. 25 yrs. ago. We're still together and have 2 sons. If you ever come to Ottawa or the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield I'd love to see you again. You always had an amazing voice and still do. I'm still a big fan.

It was great to discover your website. I discovered you from "Forever Knight", and was surprised that your roots and branches were in country! That's OK though because I've since discovered "Hey Stella!", "Untogether" and "Breaking Point". Thanks again, especially for lending your voice to "Forever Knight"!
