Presenting Toronto's own...
"Jerry Leger is one of the best songwriters I've heard in quite some time." - Ron Sexsmith
"Passionate Toronto poet." - Now Magazine
"Jerry Leger is a singing storyteller true to his craft. Never worried about how he'll fare against today's trends. He'd rather focus on carrying the torch from those who influenced him such as Dylan, Costello, Waits, Parsons to name a few. With his group "The Situation", he has been able to develop a unique sound which is starting to catch the ear of critics, peers and music lovers..." - The Official Website

Poetry by Christine: TRIBUTE TO BOB!
his guitar was his machine gun,
in this war for unity,
people tried to shoot him down,
in his own community,
wounds in chest and arm,
wife shot in the head,
but he's still up on stage,
he'll never be dead,
locks covered his face,
he had the world in one hand,
everyone grew silent,
cus they knew it was time
to take a stand,
he continued dancing,
not noticing the gas,
he was the teacher,
the world his class,

Poetry by: Angel
Being a Rebel
being a rebel means
going against the status quo,
not being afraid to stand up for what you believe,
having the courage to express your mind and soul,
being a rebel usually gets me in trouble with the law
the politicians and the government
having a conscience is a hard thing to have when
so many don't have one
evil men have always tried to rule the world
breaking down the spirit of the downtrodden,
killing, maming, stealing children, stealing life's
last breath
being a rebel is the only way i know to be
for i was taught at my grandfather's knee
to stand up and say "No", i refuse to abuse
and intimidate and let evil rule in my life
even if it means giving my life

IM FEELIN KINDA FUNKY......
sometimes it seems..
to me...
that people just...
dont think...
they say stuff...
they dont mean...
and it smashes...
peoples dreams...
like sometimes...
when we dance...
they just...
seem to laugh...
but were feelin...
funky...
and were....
feelin kinda...
fresh...
god i just cant....
take this...
smile off my...
face...
i used to feel...
quite low...
and sometimes....
wouldn't talk....
but now im....
feelin funky....
skippin...
as i walk...
and my smile....
makes me high...
with music by...
my side....
and when i....
see them below...
i reach for their...
spirit...
but they...
just dont get it...
but still...
no child left behind...
and...
this time you....
can believe it...
all you gotta do...
is keep love...
in your heart....
wrap it up....
and lock it...
anytime you need it....
it takes you for a ride...
dont worry...
these words...
confuse me too...
but these...
words are my soul...
im just lettin....
you know...
what my heart...
has to say...
god...
i just cant phase...
this...
i feel so...
good today...
