Aaaahhhh that bossa nova. I once bought Diana Krall a bottle of champage during her after hours show at the Ottawa Jazz Festival. If memory serves, it was for playing Let's Face the Music.. It is my favourite number of hers. Thanks, Mike. And now one of my favourite Leonard Cohen songs. What an amazing show today. Just loving this!!!

I think the first time I heard Bruce do Musical Friends was at Le Hibou on Sussex. It is very early Bruce, as you said. Louis Armstrong at his best. Arthur Conley!! Everything in this playlist is in my "all time favourites" list.

Love the show and especially love hearing Jesse Winchester. BTW, I was listening to Jesse's "Gentleman of Leisure" CD earlier and saw that he thanked you in the booklet. Very cool.

Thanks Helen. Jesse was a close friend dating back to the early 1970s. Miss him.
