AKA Frank
Thi s is the part where I commit to stating up and listening LIVE, given it won't be 3 AM in this part of the world.

I often wish I could be there live again, AKA Frank. If I was in/near Ottawa this evening it would feel weird not presenting live from the studio. So, as in days of old, tonight I'd be looking at heading home from Carleton afterwards when it's something like -8, with a long trudge through the snow back to the car. Hmm... Actually, on reflection, maybe at this time of the year it's preferable to be far, far away, up with owl, in the warm and dry and listening to the rain hammering down outside whilst chatting here online here.. I certainly hope this edition will be one worth you staying up late for Frank. :-)

Hi Chris i too have committed to staying up to hear the show. As you can imagine, your post-show ‘trudge’ would be longer now than in days of old—oh, and throw in a changing landscape due to CONSTANT construction on campus.

Chris Lyne (host)
Hi Shelley, glad you're now old enough to be allowed to stay up late to hear a radio show ! :-) Here's a question everyone: which TV/radio shows were you occasionally allowed to stay up late for when you were little?

10:05 PM, December 27th, 2022

Shelley Ann Morris
Oh yes—I got to stay up to see the great walk on the moon in July 1969. We were also allowed to stay up on Friday nights with our parents to watch Montey Python’s Flying Circus—fun times for sure.

Shelley Ann Morris
The The…….it’s been ages since I’ve heard them. I LOVE Everything But The Girl.

10:14 PM, December 27th, 2022

Chris Lyne (host)
"Python With Parents" - nice one! :-)

10:19 PM, December 27th, 2022

Shelley Ann Morris
Desire is a silk-figured creature who changes her own mind—isn’t that a line from a song by Prefab Sprout? I’ve heard that somewhere before……

10:20 PM, December 27th, 2022

Shelley Ann Morris
Yeah, we could watch it with their guidance and when they felt we were old enough—my Dad was from England—part of our cultural heritage I guess. I still have that very dark sense of humour (smile).

10:22 PM, December 27th, 2022

Chris Lyne (host)
"Desire Is... " : yes Shelley, you've just heard Prefab Sprout vocalist recite that very line in the LYR song we just played. Your ears (and memory) are in fine form this evening :-)

10:36 PM, December 27th, 2022

Chris Lyne (host)
Evening hillbilly, the show's not quite the same without you :-)

10:39 PM, December 27th, 2022

Shelley Ann Morris
I dare anyone NOT to smile when they hear this Earth Wind and Fire song—this is great.

10:39 PM, December 27th, 2022

Shelley Ann Morris
I was introduced to The Sidereal Cycle here on CKCU on a show that I believe was called Hot Gossip Then Home. Altus….take me awaaaaaaay!

10:46 PM, December 27th, 2022

Shelley Ann Morris
Good night all….. All the best for a happy, healthy and hopefully a more ‘normal’ 2023.

10:57 PM, December 27th, 2022

hillbilly
It's fun. I only do what's fun.;-) Thanks for the fun!
