 I'm a Torontonian.  I recall the days in '79 when he was always playing a 
 local pub near Eglinton and Yonge where I worked.  Though his story says 
 that 
 he was living in NYC at the time and later moved to BC, I remember him as 
 being part of the Toronto music scene 26 years-ago.  Even then John Baldry's 
 shows at the pub that I can't recall the name of, was a place where I saw 
 or met more than a few outstanding artists.  Billy Joel had a table there 
 one 
 time when he was in town, Ian Hunter's crew and a few other "light weights" 
 of the day. 
  
 May he rest in peace.  In the 5 times I've travelled to London, visiting 
 Soho 
 was always 'one of those things' to me because of a song he wrote when I was 
 a kid.
