Sad to hear of the passing of Dianne Keaton at 79. A grand dame of the highest order..

Het, DL In The Sky With Diamonds: heard from my old buddy who introduced me to the bands Cactus, Electric Flag, New York Dolls and many other great bands back in the day , that John Lodge passed away, too - I was a Moody Blues fan way back when…

Steve Kirkland (host)
Hi Frankie, I tend to play my favourite station IDs, some of them stored/classified here as "Vintage", a place other announcer may not gravitate to...

7:04 PM, October 11th, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
(... the usual gremlins at work)

7:12 PM, October 11th, 2025
Frankie
It's amazing how "vintage" can sound fresh.

7:12 PM, October 11th, 2025
Steve Kirkland (host)
You're right Frankie... I'm a firm believer that, musically or sonically, nothing worth listening to has a "best before" date.

7:15 PM, October 11th, 2025
DL In The Sky With Diamonds
Moody Blues were awesome. So sorry to hear of John Lodge passing too,

7:30 PM, October 11th, 2025
Frankie
Yes very sad, I think that leaves Justin Hayward as the only surviving band member.

7:35 PM, October 11th, 2025
Gee
Yup… we ain’t gettin’ any younger. I am already unloadin’ “stuff” in anticipation of that fateful day… make it easier on my family when I “cross over River Jordan”…

Frankie
Great show, thanks.

Material attrition is life factual Gee, when that time comes...
