It is a privilege to give a shout-out to neighbourhood supper club The Flying Beaver Puberat (Parliament/Carlton). Not a Moss Park shout-out, but pretty darned close (Cabbagetown). Tonight I attended a sold-out show, in the hood, with Toronto’s much-loved Tabby Johnson.

I am embarrassed to admit it was my first time seeing Ms. Johnson perform. How could this be with my long history in the Toronto indie music scene – I am baffled.
I was absolutely taken by her quirky style, her vocal talents, her humour plus an entertaining perspective into her celebrated history in the international music scene. She is working on a new show and I had the privilege of witnessing the first installment tonight @ The Beaver. It promises to be enlightening and humourous retrospect of Ms. Johnson’s life.
I look forward to additional entertaining chapters revealed with her upcoming monthly performances in 2012.
A special shout-out to my new FBF, Maggie @ The Flying Beaver. Thanks for your kind hospitality. What an utter joy to see fried pickles on the menu. An absolute first for Terry & I here in Toronto. Fried dill pickles is the Nashville food we miss the most.
Fashion Notes: Tabby was wearing a lovely vintage blue velvet evening coat for the performance. My apologies for not getting a shot, Terry you were missed...
