Hi everyone Last week the CKCU site was down and so it was impossible for me to hear the show over the internet and add the playlist live as I normally do. Here it is again for anyone else that missed out last week. Enjoy the show :-)

Hi Chris, First time I heard this show, I was listening on demand on a treadmill. Yup, the attack of the CKCU gremlins!! AAGGHH! Thanks for re-broadcasting it for those who didn’t hear it the first time round.

This Incognito song has become my latest favourite ‘fast walk on the treadmill with some incline.’ Love it.

You could burn a few extra calories climbing up and down the stairs, Shelley. Somewhere like the good old CN tower ;-)

Enjoying the show! (and *always* pleased to hear one of the longer tracks from Permanent Waves)

I’m afraid my CN Tower days may be over now—on to other things—but, one never knows. LOVE this piece by Maurice Jarre. Jean-Michel Jarre played at the closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games last year—it was amazing.

Hi Oddball, thanks for joining in, nothing odd about enjoying longer tunes :-)

And, Shelley, JM Jarre provided the theme music to a classic CKCU show in the 80s called The Dinner Hour Special - hosted (usually) by my old pal Roch Parisien. Hope we'll see him at the 50th!

Goodnight everyone, I'm off to climb the non-existent wooden stairs! Thanks for listening.
