Happy 80th birthday to one of my biggest influences and favourite singer-songwriters, Bob Dylan. As Warren Zevon said, “he invented my job”. Roots Music Canada asked me to take part in a birthday celebration. I contributed a cover of a beautiful hidden gem, “Born In Time.”

“You’re invited inside the apartment and mind of Jerry Leger. A film of blurred reality, music and poetry.” This week we announced my film The Apartment Show He Never Gave which will exclusively be available to stream for ‘Fan Club’ members (email subscribers).

Also, the soundtrack will be released digitally June 18th in my Bandcamp store. I recorded the audio (film & soundtrack) straight to tape on a 1981 Tascam 244 4-track recorder and then ran it through an echoplex effect. I think it fits nicely with the visuals. The film’s title is a nod to the Canadian-made movie ‘Hank Williams: The Show He Never Gave’, which I grew up on. I still have my Grandfather’s VHS copy.
