Leo Kottke is probably the best 12string<br />
guitarist on the road today; his<br />
foggy, attrac{ive voice (he once likened<br />
it to goose farts on a damp morning)<br />
and his warm and selfdeprecating personal'lty<br />
have helped make him a favourhe<br />
with guitar fans and "new age"<br />
music enthusiasts alike. He visited<br />
Toronto recenlly with fellow-guitarist<br />
Michael Hedges, with whom he has<br />
been touring, and followed it up with a<br />
Bathurst Street Theatre solo show a<br />
few weeks ago.<br />

MARIPOSA FESTIVAL<br />
for a very successful event<br />

nEw voice in country music with the<br />
success of his second ahum for MGA,<br />
Pontirc, and hE is making his first<br />
Toronto-area appearanoe with this visit<br />
to <strong>Mariposa</strong>. Originally from Texas, Lovett<br />
was "discovered'by Guy Clark,<br />
and his fusion of country, folk and jazz<br />
influences makes his music unique.<br />
Lyle is bringing his full 11-piece band to<br />
<strong>Mariposa</strong>, and if he causes a lew raised<br />
eyebrows, the subtlety, charm and humour<br />
of the music will entrance you.<br />
Magoo is one of the organizers (the<br />
president, in fact) of the Blue Sky <strong>Festival</strong><br />
in Glarendon, Ont., and hE is also<br />
their MC and resident character. He<br />
has a rubber face, a bealen-up guitar,<br />
and he has been known to bark at audiences<br />
- but it's all in great good fun.<br />
He'll be one of the MC's at <strong>Mariposa</strong>,<br />
and you couldnl find a more intriguing,<br />
amusing man lo do the job.<br />
