Renny's Riot
Wednesday January 3rd, 2024 with Rejected Renny
I hate pigeonholes. I ain't no punk. I'm not a hard rock hammerhead. I'm not a rock-pig. I'm not a rockabilly. I'm not a jazz aficionado. This show is like the weather, if you don't like it, just wait 10 minutes.

The bassline in Summertime is sublime.

Renny G (host)
These guys weren't from the Maritimes, Benoît. They were from a fairly affluent suburb, north of Toronto.

The sax player's name was Pat Levenson. He played live with the Randy Peters in 1985. One show in particular, a Canada Day show at the Astrolab Theater.
