Riverdale Share is an annual community event in Toronto that benefits families in crisis in the Riverdale neighbourhood. They've gotten pretty good at it after 14 years of practice so today's show - the 15th - was a very glossy, well-produced and well-attended affair.

A great chance to chat with Stephen Page and Jim Cuddy and - whaddya know - Gregg Lawless was there too!

The portraits portion, unfortunately, was sort of poorly considered so we didn't get much traffic (but bless the ChoirGirlz) but Jian Ghomeshi used the guitar (with full children's choir backing!) for the finale of "Happy Xmas, War Is Over" by John Lennon. That was a blast.

Thanks to Randi Fratkin for the invite.
