After 8 1/2 years, my friend Billie Jo sold her bookstore - Stardust Book Lounge - in Sarnia. She had a party at The Front Door to celebrate and thank friends so she invited me to DJ and Olenka to perform. I started the evening with a set of music that was somehow connected to books either by inspiration, song title, band name, or something more obscure. I even threw in a couple songs to pay homage to the name of the store. Between Olenka's sets, I played a selection of covers just for fun. After her second set, I turned things up a few notches because the book lovers were there to party.
