Hi everyone Welcome to tonight's edition of Bedtime Stories. I'm looking for tunes by Canadian artists that refer to stairs and ladders . Would you like to suggest one for a future edition?

I’ll have to do some thinking about that. The Nylons also did a version of “Up The Ladder To The Roof” if you don’t mind using an already-played song, by a different performer.

Hi Shelley :-) I think that was an acapella version, if I remember correctly, quite different from the original. Thank you :-)

That it was! I once saw them perform it at an outdoor concert. It was amazing.

OH MY GOODNESS—I haven’t heard an Andreas Wollenweirder song in AGES! If you are ever doing a show about subways, you MUST play “The Underground” Probably one of my absolute favourites.

Thanks Shelley, that's a great idea. :-)

I’m sure that there would be a lot of songs about subways, tubes, undergrounds, metros etc They seem to be in so many places throughout the world and figure in so many tunes.

It could fit in with an existing topic, references to places in London. But its title may not be about underground transport, let's find out.

Goodnight everyone, thanks for your company... and suggestions. :-)

Nighty Night Chris. Good show! Another thought—there was a whole series of soundscapes called (if I remember) The Next Station—may have heard it on CKCU some time ago. Wow, I’m off on my own train of thought tonight—inspired by Andreas…..

Thanks AKA do join in with any suggestions that spring to mind, even if it's not quite Spring.
