Thanks for the tunes- your live guests are great! So if I show up to Irene’s tonight I just have to say that I heard them on Canadian Spaces and I can get into the show for just $15?!! I think that would be amazing - can’t think of anything that good that can be had for such a price! Keep up the good work C.A and Sonny and Birdie!

Thanks, Pete! You can just mention Ethan's name at the door, and hand Sarah a ten n' a five, and head on in!
