PLAYLIST: Saturday, July 18, 2020 Tune in this evening at 5pm/4CT on CBC Radio 1 stations all across Ontario, outside of the GTA. Today's show is a very special one.. It is filled with your "Long Range Requests".... Songs, sent by listeners, to someone they've been missing during this pandemic. Now, yes...in general..usually...this show is for and about Ontario... But a couple of things.. Many of these songs are NOT by Ontario artists... and some of them are being sent out to people who don't live in Ontario.. But all of the picks are great in their own way, and are accompanied by wonderful stories...and lots of love. The Lovin' Spoonful - "Summer In The City" Johnny Horton - "North To Alaska" Shane Cook Music - "The End Of Winter" Lennie Gallant - "Laisse Aller" Lee Ann Womack - "I Hope You Dance" Weezer - "Island In The Sun" Pamela Jane Gerrand Music - "October Sky" Marshall Veroni - Music - "We Met" Otis Redding - "That's How Strong My Love Is" Gordon Lightfoot - 'Song For A Winter's Night" Prince - "Purple Rain" Thank you to all of you for your beautiful, heartfelt dedications..I loved reading them. I hope they found their place. There were so many more that I couldn't get to, and for that I'm sorry. But, we'll do this again. ~Craig

On this Saturday's show, I'll be spinning some "Long Range Requests" - songs sent from listeners to people that they cannot be with right now because of COVID-19...or any other reasons, really. There are songs sent out to friends, family, festivals..and more.People, places, and things that they miss. I received so many that they won't all fit into one show.... Like this one..Here's an honourable mention: It's sent out from Cassie, in Sault Ste. Marie to Stephen, in Fergus. Cassie writes, "So many songs that might fit. But landing on Death Cab’s 'I Will Follow You Into the Dark'. It holds a dear memory and also (although dark) gives hope of a time that we might be together. And.....I always imagine singing in harmony with you. I miss you in an enormous way. For all time. Most lovingly, CR" Hmm, if you listen to the lyrics, it seems that Stephen and Cassie might not be 'together' until the next life?! Hear more requests, this Saturday at 5PM/4CT across all CBC Radio1 stations in Ontario, outside the GTA. ~Craig
