Hey DJR: I was until recently completely unaware of the Wunder of Sven, but will most certainly explore more on future episodes. Sounds terrific!

luv that cool start straight outta the heart of Paris.....Le Locomotion !! I have imagined Radio Paris for many years because I am a big fan of pop music from France. Welcome back Rob.

Little more French pop from the 60's coming up later. And, special for you and Drake, another slice of Sandinista!

N & DL, if you ever need a break from your steady diet of CKCU, I highly recommend FIP (France Inter Paris). Had an internet radio in the room I was staying in and could not STOP listening to it. They have a bunch of streams, but the main one is so eclectic and impeccably tasteful that it blew my mind. Inspiring!

Do I need a special radio for that Rob? Not much of a technical guy. Using my laptop ties me down to the couch and it's crappy sound. That's why I don't make more use of On Demand which is a bummer.

I'm able to play it at home by streaming it to my speakers, but I hear you: if you're listening on a laptop, it's not ideal. That's okay, you always have us here at CKCU to feed your ears!

C; Crane Radio would have any kind of Tot Rated radio however they no longer have a Canadian distributor and the duty was already "highway robbery rates by Canada Customs, and now throw in the tariffs and between the 2 charges over tax, the price would be astronomical.

The radio in my room was I think a Roberts Stream internet radio, but no idea if you can get 'em here or what they'd cost. Pretty cool though!

You're very welcome, rp in g! More to come!

Green Arrows was pretty cool. Will try to get a copy of the compilation... Thanks for the heads up ! Nice music this afternoon.

Glad you enjoyed it! The Zimbabwe compilation is great, and the earlier Green Arrows is a favourite of mine. Both well worth it.
