	Wade Hemsworth, the dean of Canadian folk song writers, died yesterday at 
the age of 85.  (I know it's academically incorrect to say that someone 
*wrote folk songs*, but Wade did.)

	Among his songs were such classics as "The Log Driver's Waltz," "The Black 
Fly Song," "Foolish You," and "Wild Geese."
