Some stuff I dug up and compiled on Dottie Cormier, described as 'One of the Queen's of Toronto's bluegrass and alt county scene' in 2001... could it be her?
Dottie Cormier is one of Canada's foremost bluegrass artists. The 32 year old is described in Socan's 'Words and Music' magazine as "someone to watch out for," and is already regarded as a respected veteran among Ontario musicians. Having grown up in Toronto, Cormier began her career in the mid nineties when she formed Heartbreak Hill, an influential and successful touring bluegrass band. The first full length Heartbreak Hill disc was nominated for a Juno Award in 1999, and remains one of the best selling "roots/traditional" albums in Canada. Dottie followed up her Heartbreak Hill success with a solo release and tour that were both critically well received, warranting comparisons to Sarah Harmer and Greg Keelor.

All Tore Up
ok because I was really confused there, thank you! :lol: The lyrics to that song are hard to get without reading the book and I usually dont read the lyrics in the books much. I dont know why I dont, but I dont read the lyrics or try to interpret them or try and find some deeper meaning. But thats just the way I am, the only time I look anything up is when I cant understand something and it drives me nuts. But hats off to you, you must have a lot of time on your hands :lol:
