I love hamburgers, and when the head office restaurant of Kelsey’s asked me to perform for their 2017 Burgerfest, I could only say “please compensate me with 5 gourmet burgers”. That’s fake news (they paid me in cash), but I did have the pleasure of sampling 3 different burgers (see below and guess which ones), while performing feel good summer songs such as “Summer of 69”, and “Me and Julio down by the Schoolyard” and “Shake it Off” (yes Taylor Swift). I also had the pleasure of announcing to all patrons that “Free” samples were being passed around, and to grab one before I do. By the end of this show, I felt like Elvis in 1977 – bloated with weird digestive issues, yet still able to sing at 100%. My last songs was a medley of song requests from patrons who might have ate too many burgers, but had a great time  – Try (Blue Rodeo) – Piano Man (Billy Joel) – Time After Time (Cyndy Lauper) – Shut Up and Dance with me (Sorry forgot who sang that) and last Band on the Run (Paul McCartney). A great night by all, thanks Kelsey’s for the take away meal!
