I still have a crush on Kate Fenner

A tip of the hat to fellow bloggers torontoist.com for dredging up a favourite memory of my early twenties with a look back at the seminal 1992 Bourbon Tabernacle Choir album Superior Cackling Hen. I actually won the CD in a draw at one of their live shows in Montreal before I even owned a CD player.

I remember that show because it was a Thursday night and there were maybe 20 of us in the crowd at Café Campus. I never missed a show they played in Montreal, and was increasingly disappointed when their popularity soared and they played ever larger venues. I still have my copy of the disc, which according to torontoist is increasingly hard to find. I found it for sale here. Buy now! Supply is limited!

Philip Preville

Veteran freelance writer Philip Preville lived much of his life in Montreal and Edmonton before he was lured, like so many Torontonians before him, by the promise of more work and a better living. A National Magazine Award winner and former Canadian Journalism Fellow at the University of Toronto’s Massey College, Preville writes Toronto Life’s politics column. He lives with his wife and one-year-old son in Riverdale, just close enough to the Don Valley Parkway that he can hear it when he steps outside his house—but just far enough away that it doesn’t keep him awake at night. On his office wall hangs a 1938–39 press pass belonging to his grandfather, Elias Gannon, who wrote for the Montreal Star.
