It was Tasha's birthday and she wanted to go to the Boiler House in the Distillery District in downtown Toronto. Now we don't normally go out for fancy dinners we usually opt for cheap Vietnamese...mmm spicy Pho at Xelua... and other ethnic restaraunts, the Real Jerk being one of Tasha's favourites. But it has been a long time for the two of us since having kids. We were lucky to secure a patio spot on a beautiful Friday night evening!

Anyhow...dinner was fabulous. Dessert even better. The restaurant had a jazz trio playing soft music all night...mostly toned down jazzy remakes of new and old tunes. It set a perfect ambience for the evening.
The singer at one point made an announcement. It was someone elses birthday (damn why didn't i think of dedicating a song??) and instead of singing happy birthday along with staff members...I guess they don't do that at fancy restarants... he opted to sing "More then a Woman" by the Bee Gees.
Now I am not the biggest Bee Gees fan...not my era. But I do love "Night Fever" a track I try to play at any event I do. I love that song. If requested I will play "Staying Alive" though it usually doesn't make the rotation...too cheesy I guess. But we all secretely want to point our fingers in the air and walk like Travolta does in Saturday Night Fever. He can shake it with the best of them.

But "More then a Woman" is a classic! Check out this youtube video from the movie... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZCtgFmQvjQ Where did night clubs like this go? Do they even play slow songs anymore?
Anyhow it was a great night out with my wife with some great food, wine and music. In case you were wondering Tasha is more then a woman too! But I will blog about that another time... ;)
