Danforth Ave. rules as Monday nights’ destination zone \ TORONTO EAST \ There are plenty of fine open mics and other shows happening across the GTA on a Monday, but when it comes to variety and quality packed into a relatively close-knit area, it doesn’t get any better than Danforth Ave. in east Toronto.

Michael Theodore back in the Sunday saddle starting today \ ETOBICOKE SOUTH \ For the past eight years or so, Pop balladeer Michael Theodore and his “four-piece trio” (which always includes Robbie Rox as conga player/backup singer and usually a bass player and a saxophonist) appeared almost every Sunday afternoon as the feature attraction at…
