Mama told me there'd be days like this: here's a fan video from yesterday's busk in #trinitybellwoodspark #toronto

Perfect weather, such a lovely audience (would love to take them home with us!) and even the bylaw officers were amicable¹!

A #Soundcloud from a while ago, and yeah, it's that time of year when I really miss the energy. This one was recorded at the Cameron House in #Toronto last summer, it takes a few bars to get going, but where else are you going to find any Jelly Roll on a Fediverse Saturday Night?

Here's a familiar tune from #television, an old closing theme, lyrics by Carroll O'Connor, recorded on a lazy summer back patio.
