The very talented Jennifer Gillmor accompanied me
on fretless bass and cello for my set.
Jai Dee (Good Heart) Children's Fund, a new
Toronto charity, teamed up with Songwriters'
Unite! to launch this festival to support local
talent and to raise money for a kindergarten
school in Laos. CityTV's Jojo Chintoh was on hand
to cut the ribbon. The evening featured award-
winning blues singer Suzie Vinnick, and
other notable performers, Royal Wood, Noah
Zacharin, Kat Goldman, Layah Jane,
