Thank you for another volume of this series.
While I was downloading Volume 194: Aviation,
I was thinking? to myself, what does YYZ have to do with aviation?
Damn! All of these years and I finally found out what YYZ stood for.
YYZ is the IATA airport identification code of Toronto Pearson International Airport.
Not only are your series entertaining,
but they are also educational!
Thanks for the fun factoid & music.

Sooo glad to see an expert like Ris remembers one of many small wonders of the finest year in pop.
An artist that has released only one song (with several versions) in their entire career,
but still, strangely enough, it has reached me here via airwaves in my small country in 1984
and has become one of my favorites over time.

Bought the single a couple of weeks ago at the local circuit shop.
