From the September 13th Facebook post by David Acer:
Excited to be joining all these funny people for a live demonstration of stand-up comedy presented by the Cornwall Comedy Festival at the Aultsville Theatre on October 14th, which scientists tell us will be a Saturday.
From the September 22nd post at the Browser's Den of Magic Facebook group:
We are very happy to announce that we have a brand new second location, 'Mini Browser's Den of Magic'!
The location is inside the recently opened: HWY 404 & STEELES MARKET (2900 Steeles Avenue East , Thornhill, On. L3T 4X1)
IMPORTANT: HOURS OF OPERATION FOR Mini Browser's Den ARE Only: Saturdays & Sundays from 10am to 5pm
Old Jeff will be at the new location on almost all Saturdays and Sundays unless there is a special event at our main location.
We are also very pleased to announce that we will have help from both John Cardella and Jon Sy at our main location on weekends to assist Young Jeff.
John Cardella worked here full time for over six years and is one of the few people in Canada qualified to be behind a magic counter. His customer service skills are unmatched. John will be helping out both at our main location and our new Mini Browser's Den.
The new Mini Browser's Den is only a one minute drive from the 404 & Steeles Avenue. So if you live around that area or not...Do not hesitate to visit Old Jeff on Saturdays or Sundays.
Please note: Our hours at Browser's Den (Dufferin Street) remain the same.
Yours truly- The Jeff's, John Cardella, Jon Sy & Lisa Close
From the October 5th article "DAN MCLEAN JR UNVEILS NEW SINGLE, “KISS ME ONCE” (INTERVIEW)" by Jenna Melanson at Canadian Beats:
I’ve been a musician for … wow … 45 years. I started out singing the hard rock that I loved from when I was a kid in the mid-70s. At some point, I started being drawn to great singers inside and outside of rock, and those singers still motivate me. Gino Vannelli, Daryl Hall, Mavis Staples, Paul Rogers, Sammy Hagar. There’s something transcendent about the sound of their voices and their emotional impact.
Fast-forwarding, I’d stopped singing for 15 years when suddenly I decided to start playing acoustic shows around Toronto. I just wanted to sing. I didn’t want to start another band or write songs. I just wanted to sing. After playing Soul covers in Toronto cafés and small clubs, mostly in Kensington & Parkdale, I decided to film a show to use as promotional material and booked a theatre. A day or two later, I called my old writing partner Dave Dunlop, and asked if we could try writing again. “Oh, by the way, Dave, I have a show in eight weeks and I need enough songs to fill the show”.
Over the next couple of years, we wrote a bunch of songs and I put together “Dan McLean Jr & Some Honey” with three really great backup singers. During lockdowns, we wrote a bunch more songs together online, and we drew on those two groups of songs for the album.
