Good evening everyone, welcome to the 4th edition of our series on the ups and downs of ladders and stairs.

Hi Chris, I have to go down the stairs to take out the recycling—but, I’m going to take the elevator! Looking forward to tonight’s show—I wonder what brand new show theme it might inspire for me.

Hi Shelley I'm sure something will spring to mind, even if it's only February :-)

I think that you have done a show about months, time etc. I seem to remember a song about February.

Moonfruit. What a nice surprise. They are a real local favourite. I had the good fortune of meeting them at some of the Folk Music Ontario conferences. And they are very nice people, too.

We've had shows on the first months of the year Shelley, and variations on the theme of time, but there's always scope for more.

Snakes and ladders—cool song. Given that this is the year of the snake, this song is really apropos.

I’ve just come back from taking the recycling downstairs. One more chore done. I can’t believe there are so many songs about stairs, steps and ladders.

10:50 PM, February 4th, 2025

Chris Lyne (host)
Steps is another subject Shelley, I think you'll know a few to suggest for another time! Night Shelley, thanks for joining me here again :-)

Nighty night Chris. I’m pooped from climbing all those imaginary stairs and ladders (smile).
