Shelley Ann Morris
Hi Chris, I love these travels back in time. Did I hear a little trace of In A White Room in the first song on tonight’s show? Did I imagine it?

Shelley Ann Morris
I was introduced to Billy Cobham’s music through CKCU—and other jazz fans, too.

10:07 PM, August 19th, 2025

Chris Lyne (host)
Interesting question Shelley, I hadn't noticed.... I'll have a closer listen in the morning. Oh, it already is!

Terry M.
This Cobham album opened a lot of doors for me and I still enjoy it.

Chris Lyne (host)
Hi Terry, I noticed that the opening note is also the opening sound on the station i'd s "Other Side Of The Coin". I think I might recognise a certain voice too, Terry :-)

Shelley Ann Morris
I love hearing those vintage ads!

Shelley Ann Morris
I will have to listen to Safe From Harm — really interesting how one song becomes a part of another. Thanks for pointing that out.

Jane D.
"Mystery" was a beautiful track!

10:55 PM, August 19th, 2025

Shelley Ann Morris
I never would have guessed that this was The James Gang! What a surprise. Great show as always. Nighty-night everyone.

Chris Lyne (host)
Hi Jane, it's a beauty, isn't it. I always enjoyed playing long forgotten tracks on Rockers Anonymous.

10:56 PM, August 19th, 2025

Chris Lyne (host)
Goodnight Shelley, thanks for joining in, as ever.

*Moxy's tune "Out of The Darkness" was swapped for this one, a last minute change.

10:59 PM, August 19th, 2025

Chris Lyne (host)
Goodnight everyone, thanks for listening. :-)

AKA Frank
Wow, Man! Wow Man.

5:05 PM, August 20th, 2025

Chris Lyne (host)
I take it you're "WOWED" Frank! That's my man!

Terry M.
Hi Chris, yes, you’re absolutely right about the “other side of the coin” ID, no one else has ever mentioned that to me

11:47 AM, August 24th, 2025

Chris Lyne (host)
Hi Terry, thanks for confirming. That's what made those station i.d.s so interesting: fragments of pieces to provide the perfect sound backdrop for the i'd's text. And that expression "The Other Side Of The Coin" summed it all up perfectly, and so succinctly too. :-)
