Greetings:

New at The Cockburn Project is an article reprinted by permission of
the author Nick Warburton about Bruce's 'early days'. Here's an excerpt:

"By the late summer of 1967, Bruce Cockburn (b. 27 May 1945, Ottawa,
Ontario) was about to try his luck in Toronto with an exciting new
project. Over the last year or so, he'd enjoyed a modicum of success
with Ottawa folk-rock bands, The Children and The Esquires but the
music scene in Canada was changing fast. Many of Cockburn's musical
contemporaries were eschewing the old rock 'n' roll formats in favour
of the new psychedelic scene and the young singer/songwriter was no
exception."

For more, and there's much more, complete with old photos/posters

this happen!
