Jerry Leger & his band played a couple of wildly entertaining sets at the Dakota Tavern in Toronto.
On lead guitar was Tim Bovaconti (who has worked on all of Jerry's records) who made his Gretsch guitar gently weep like a pedal steel. To the intimate Ossington Avenue crowd's delight Jerry's surprise special guests included local legend Kurt Swinghammer and the one and only Ron Sexsmith for whom I've been a huge fan ever since I heard the lyrics "secret heart, what are you made of?..." Jerry with his special guests played a rising cover of Dylan's "Slow Train", "ya ya" by Lee Dorsey and Jerry's own "Love's abandoned your heart".
