Serendipity in Kensington

How fun to run into Max Sennitt in Kensington Market - Max has a gig at Gate 403 on Friday con sus Amigos and he tells me he is off to Europe for a 10 city tour with the wonderful Alex Cuba...

Mark Eisenman posted on Facebook that he had a gig at the China House - a Chinese restaurant up at 925 Eglinton Avenue West - just west of Bathurst with Pat Collins and Barry Elmes - here's hoping that's a regular thing...www.chinahousetoronto.com - an establishment that has been around since 1958 serving Cantonese cuisine...Mark billed it as "Jelly Roll with your Egg Roll"?

Check out Marc Myers Jazz Wax on jazz spouses i.e. those married to famous musicians and how they keep or kept the home fires burning, taking care of the day to day details and what happens after the spouse passes away. Sage advice on how to take of themselves and the legacy....

The photos in the midst of all this are frivolous desires - items from the Alternative Outfitters website I am currently coveting - the Steve Madden shoes are very girly.

I believe the bag is Steve Madden as well.....taped the second of the department head "Jazzology" series - Jim Lewis from U of T - next up - Pat Collins then Mike Murley - stay tuned for air dates....
