Good evening everyone, welcome back to the series on stairs and ladders. Hopefully it will leave you feeling more up than down :-)

Hi Chris, Halfway Up The Stairs—where I used to sit when I was supposed to be asleep. Instead I was listing to the music my parents were enjoying—a lot of jazz, thanks to my Dad.

OMD! First heard them on the Mighty 93 way back in the 80s for sure.

Hi Shelley And a bit of jazz here for you tonight too. No stairs needed. The OMD album from 2023 is a good example of an 80s band sounding both of its time yet right up to date, too.

Falling up the stairs—I’ve done that! Interesting how OMD did preserve its sound like that.

Who knew that there were so many songs about stairs and ladders? I can honestly say that I’ve neve heard any of the songs on tonight’s program. I’m going to sign off now. Great show as always!

Goodnight Shelley, thank you, mind the stairs on your way up to the land of dreams! :-)
