Well, I'm not sure what Peter's got lined up for the Weekend this week but it's always impeccable so you're good to go as the sun begins to creep into the room and the coffee starts to drip.
Once you're up, washed and have cracked the papers, you'll be ready for the Vinyl Café.
Newfoundland songsmith Ron Hynes joins Stuart this week in a concert from St. John's.
Also on the show, the story of Dave's daughter Stephanie and her brief career as a waitress.
Ahhh, waiting tables. I'll write about that tomorrow.

The past week has been exhausting with not much in the way of sleep to keep the motor running. I also got home late last night, so I was really looking forward to sleeping in this morning.
You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and then fall back asleep? That little window of 45 minutes or whatever always produces the most amazing dreams. And if you're really lucky, when the clock radio does go off, the music just sort of weaves into your dreams.
That's exactly what happened for me this morning with The Weekender - some jazzified Bach and Molly Johnson were my musical breakfast. Thanks for the gentle awakening, Peter Togni!
If you're in the Central, Mountain or Pacific timezones you can have the same experience! (Although you'd have to be reading this blog in your sleep in order to know that - so I'll just hope for the best for you).

Actually, I met a lovely one last night at my friends Pete and Sue's in Calgary. This cat - like most - was an adept leaper but apparently her real skill was in finding the most ideal curling-up circumstances available - baby car-seats, hat bags and - last night - my guitar case.
But that's not what I meant to talk about. I wanted to mention another accomplished cat, Peter Togni.
I'm pretty sure he used to live in my neighbourhood in Toronto. I have this memory of bumping into him when the Alternative Grounds coffee shop was new. For some reason I think there was a piano in there and he was just playing it. And I wondered if that was what it would have been like if you lived in Glenn Gould's neighbourhood and you both hung out at the same coffee shop. Only Peter was really nice and easy going. I have a feeling GG was a little higher maintenance.
You can share a coffee with Peter Togni Saturday and Sunday mornings on The Weekender.
