“Canadian Songbook likely to return next year,
THE GLOBE AND MAIL June 11,  2008,
James Bradshaw, They did it their way,  and it worked.

Danny Michel,  the penultimate performer at the Massey Hall Canadian Songbook,  was a perfect example of why Monday night's showcase Luminato event was an audience hit and will likely return next year,  according to organizers., Mr. Michel bounded onto stage and,  eschewing the help of the talented house band,  launched into a crawling,  bluesy rendition of Paul Anka's My Way,  a fresh and fascinating take on a song that's been covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Sid Vicious., The night worked because of treats such as Mr. Michel's,  eclectic new approaches to well-worn Canadian songs in a relaxed,  intimate atmosphere that rollicked along oblivious to the absence of many of the country's biggest musical names.
