This version takes it for my favorite (though I do love the solo on the album). Best lo-fi live recording I've ever seen - really a perfect match of medium and content.

You guys might like Clem Snide and Eef Barzley if you like his lyrics and music. Just a thought.

Fantastic song and songwriter who I had the honour of interviewing last year. This version dominates the Reunion Tour take so much too. I wish they'd kept the minimal vibe going on.

With success comes the ability to eat, I guess. I hadn't seen them in a few years and was pretty surprised. He's looking pretty healthy these days.

True, and that is saying a lot given the caliber of Canadian writers like Justin Rutledge.
