Toronto / Hamilton song request in honour of little Michael

My wife and I sadly lost our little boy at the end of last year. The pain has been unbearable, but we have leaned on each other to get through these last few months and for that I'm grateful.

I couldn't wait to share my love of PJ with our boy, take him to shows, teach him guitar and about all the great music out there.

I'm sure there are folks here that have some experience with this and know what we're going through.

The upcoming shows this fall have certainly been welcome news to us since we have been so isolated going through this, on top of the pandemic. It is nice to finally have something to look forward to.

With that said, I'd like to just put a couple song requests out there in the universe, cause you never know who might see this post.

My wife has never seen Release live, would love to hear the guys play that at one of these shows. I know how much that would mean to her.

I'd also like to request Come Back.

Thanks for reading and thanks to the band for all the music and everything they do.

Best,
Michael

    With 3 weeks to go, just wanted to post again in hopes of having a song played in honour of our Little Michael.

    After two and a half years of waiting, hard to believe these shows are just around the corner.

    Pretty much the only thing I've had to look forward to for quite some time.

    Peace, love and best to everyone.
