IN TORONTO song http://www.stevepaulsimms.comIn Toronto the menu is changing from day to daySee what\'s on the tray tonightIn Toronto you don\'t know what street show is waiting a block awayHey Toronto -- turn on the lightShot largely in Kensington Market and Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto, during the Winter Solstice parade 2006. The full song can be heard at http://www.stevepaulsimms.com. In trying to write a theme song for my city, I wanted to reflect the international flavour which is to me its outstanding characteristic. Hence the Latin/Caribbean feel, as opposed to traditional Canuck folk song textures. Jose Feliciano is said to have liked this record when he heard it. Spanish Harlem by Lieber and Stoller and Ben E. King would be another influence, also Caetano Veloso\'s Spanish-language records. The harmonies are by Linda Saslove and Annette Dillon, drums and percussion George Morellato, bass Rick Ramsay, mandolin by the late, lamented Jerry Gonnelly aka Jerry Donnelly, and guitars (steel- and nylon-string) by SPS.\nhttp://www.myspace.com/jacksonsimms City, festival, fireworks, Hall, In, Latin, lights, of, Parade, pop, rock, Solstice, Toronto, Winter
