The shrubs along the side are doing great as well, 2 have reached the evestrough!😍

My Rose of Sharon bushes have grown just as fast as the lilac patch in the spring! They are laden with blooms! Today the florgy began with 1st flowers of summer. 🥰

Most of June, I spent doing a Canadiana tribute to celebrate Canada 🇨🇦 Day, including 6 new tunes (and my 1000th) by 16 acts. I enjoyed the experience 😌🫂🎤🇨🇦

As all who know me will attest, I enjoy singing & karaoke. I've sang many different places, for many wonderful hosts & fans. Currently at places like The Well, Queeraoke at London Brewing Co-op with Claude Denis. I've amassed quite a list don't you think... (last updated Jun30, 2026 1005 songs)

Cont..last post. For my partner, Cody, his mum & sister, my son Jeffrey, granddaughters Nova & Valley, brother from another mother Stephane (Jeff's dad), it was amazing to have them all here with me. Magical. Then I did a Cher tribute at the Well to open Pride month, including my 998th new tune!❤️🥳🎤

I'm still struggle to quantify the joy I felt this past week. Celebrating my 66th with everyone at Queeraoke was so special and a once in a lifetime event. The love shown me was very humbling. From the staff, hosts Neo & Claude & the regulars, my profound thanks to all. ...cont

My lilac bush grew immensely this year. But the frosts nipped most of the flowering 😞 1st pic, 2025, 2nd 2026, 3rd, my only bloom

Some final fall pics of my newest shrubs on the side

Did my 1st proper duet this week at Queeraoke!! Kate helped me with Johnny & June's Jackson. Been a few years. Thanks, Kate!! 🤗🎤🥰

Finally!! I started 4 seasons ago growing Rose of Sharon shrubs from seed in 3 colors, red, white, & blue. All the blue plant bloomed red. Started this year with blue from a different host & Qapla'!🥳😍

Finally a much needed rainy day!! These guys are loving it

The heat has my shrubs saying oink!!🥵😱 But a bloom out the new babies!!🥳

Cody & I made it out to Delaware Speedway last nite, joining Bob & Steve. Talk about getting broiled,🥵 and the track action was hot🔥 too!!🏁🏁

Amazing & wonderful weekend spent with Cody at the 'Queeroake takes over Cedars' event at Cedars LGBT+ Campgrounds. Our 1st trip together, we were hosted by our dear friends Steve & Bob in the bunky at The Hamptons. Claude has conquered again!! Very happy to support him! 🏳️‍🌈🥰🙏💞🎤🤟🥳

And more flower pix 🤭

I wasn't disappointed!! Dozens of blooms over the last 2 days! Joyous!

Wow! I've got an orgy of blooms coming out now. 8 on 1 bush alone! Tomorrow, probably twice that! 🥰

In spite of the tough preceding week, Cody & I went to Rock The Park, seeing Marianas Trench & Hozier. Cody & his team even got them to provide ASL Interpretation!! Good start& thanks JEG 🥳

Just when life is 💩a reminder that it's worth it. My 1st Rose of Sharon blooms of the season!!

Got to finish my Canadiana tribute this week, a bit late due to a stroke, but hey, 'I'm Still Standing'. Over the 3 weeks, I did 6 new tunes by the Hip, London's own Helix, Big Wreck, Chilliwack, the Guess Who, Triumph!! Under the circumstances, delivering on my plan makes me proud.

To all my fellow @Queeraoke.ca peeps. Wow!💞 Had a tough week last with Cody's broken knuckle & my stroke. The love you all showed us was heartwarming & inspirational. I didn't cry, much. 🥲 Love you so much! 🤗💋🙏❤️ Sorry we can't be with you tonite at the Hard Rock, but we're at RTP 🥳

My lilac bush bloom may be over, but the new growth is amazing! The Rose of Sharon's are coming on strong, with 4+ inches growth, all but 2 with swelling buds 😁 alas, the backyard row have all broke or did poorly🤷 last 3 pix are from last year, for comparison.

Celebrated my 65th properly at @queeraoke.ca with the ppl who bring joy to my life! Cody & I did Muse tunes. Everyone there made my nite so special, very grateful for the love I was showered with. Amazing souls!🎤🤟💋🙏 special thanks to Leif for the interpretive dance to our song, Starlight!!

Hard as I tried to avoid it, Sunday arrived, and I became a senior citizen. I'm officially the OG. Celebrated with some of my fave hobbies, auto racing & karaoke. Saw or talked with my family, watched my son play softball & seen my chosen family. Perfect relaxing day, with Cody for the evening. 💖😁🙏

The reign of the purple is over, back to being more comfortable. My lilac patch has really taken off this year. Lovely fragrance on my porch!

Out at Slow Pitch City on Sunday, watching the kid's co-ed 'Hoppy Hitters' play! Got to spend value time with granddaughters Nova, and Valley (on her 1 month anniversary) 🫠🥰😁 Monday I sang 'Rammstein' 1st time at Queeraoke.

My 2nd granddaughter, Valley Isabelle, was born a 6 weeks preemie, 12 days ago, to proud parents Jeffrey & Joselyn Tardif. Mother's milk works wonders!! In spite of some tough days, Valley was released to home last nite 🍾 Today, she met her sister Nova. And her Grampa Will!

Repost with a pic and your age. I'm 37 (he's 8)

This morning's walk I witnessed Old Man Winter & Mother Nature wrestling for dominance. Liking it, not so much. 🙄 Stay safe out there!! 🙏

The purple has peaked! Enjoying the final weeks ☺️

Big final week to end 2025 1Q! Did 3 new tunes by The Black Keys, Ghost, & The Offspring. Debuted 22 new tunes by 20 different bands, a very satisfying 😌 If that wasn't fun enough, while at The Well last nite, my kids delivered a new granddaughter!! Valley Isabelle! 🥳

St.Paddy's @ Queeraoke! what a combo👏 Packed house, great singers. Amazeballs! Thursday @ the Well, very more sedate. Sang my Billy Joel set (with 2 new tunes), and 4 Rammstein tunes (in 3.5hrs)🎤🥰

What a difference 3 days make! This is the earliest I was able to get the shorts on for walking. Glorious 🌞

Nice sunny & breezy morning for my walk. Spring has arrived! 🥰

Three weeks into the NASCAR season, luck hasn't been on my Team Penske boys. Yet. They're competative, so luck will follow. Indycar has begun. Ganassi won, but Team Penske put 2 in the top 5. Indycar was my 1st love, since I seen them in Toronto 35 years ago. Emmo quickly became my favorite driver.

I hope everyone stays safe out there.🙏 The next day will be ugly. 😖🥶 Cody & I celebrated Valentines 💝 with dinner at Hanata Sushi House, followed by NASCAR Duels at Daytona🥰🏁

Had an amazing nite at @queeraoke.ca 'Love Songs' w/ @codynharrison.bsky.social and his family. We did @eltonjohn.bsky.social 'Believe' & 'Chosen Family' together. His song to me was Bruno Mars 'Just The Way You Are'. Loved the audience participation!! Thanks Claude!
