Show tracks for Sat. May 30/09

The first two songs tonight go out to a friend, Marianne, who went through a traumatic few weeks. Her beloved puppy, Eno, went missing. She and friends combed the greater Toronto area, until finally the search was over and he was returned. Due to the kindness of a family who took little Eno in and kept him safe until the reunion. She showed her gratitude to all who helped in the search by having a party. So I dedicated the first two tracks to little Eno and his safe return home.
Special show coming up, so stay tuned for the details.
