In the late 1970’s, Penner started a children’s dance theatre company, and was given the chance to record an album called, “The Cat Came Back”, which included the single of the same name, a song that he has performed so many times, he’s lost count. “There is certainly a core of songs that I’ll do because I love to sing them. And I know the audience is always an- ticipating “The Cat Came Back”, and “Sandwiches”. Those are number one and two requests, and have been for forever, so I will certainly be doing those and others along the way. De- pending on the energy of the audi- ence, I can go left or go right,” Penner said. Penner chuckled as he talked about how a lot of people in his audience are parents and grandparents who were once kids in the front row.
