"Never Going Back To OK"

It's not the end
But it feels like it is
I'm waking up
Like I'm back from the dead
I'm stepping out
And I feel so afraid
But as long as I'm moving it's all right

I feel alive
And it hurts for a change
And looking back and it's hard to believe
That I was cool
With the days that I wasted complacent and tasteless and bored but
That was yesterday

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

This discontent
Like a slap in the face
Of mediocre
I've had enough of this place
This party's over
And I'm moving away from the frills of you Beverly Hills but that was yesterday

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

We're here to stay
This is our time
Our only life
Our chance to live

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

CKLN MOVES OFF OF 88.1 FM... For Now!

The Federal Court of Appeal yesterday announced it will not hear the
appeal of CKLN Radio 88.1FM.

The campus-based community radio station had filed a leave to appeal a
CRTC decision revoking its broadcast license. While the station has
lost its broadcasting privileges on the 88.1FM signal, station
management plans to continue as broadcasters for the Ryerson campus
and the surrounding community.

CKLN Radio 88.1FM is currently weighing options and will release
another public statement Monday. It is not in contravention of the
Broadcasting Act to broadcast via  the internet.

You can support the station by signing our petition, donating for
legal costs at www.ckln.fm or writing your MP.

The court has given CKLN Radio 88.1FM no time to bid farewell on-air,
we must cease broadcasting. The stay of the original revocation
decision had allowed CKLN to continue to broadcast until the Federal
Court of Appeal denied CKLN’s appeal.

"CKLN Listeners and supporters deserve the biggest thanks of all for
standing by us," said Station Manager Jacky Tuinstra Harrison. "A
community radio license is a precious, precious thing - it is the only
means that Canadians have to access the airwaves that they-the public-
own.”

This decision to revoke CKLN’s broadcast license sees Toronto’s oldest
campus-based community radio silenced from its 28-year presence at the
furthest left end of the FM frequency. It a heart-breaking step in the
station's hard-fought rejuvenation efforts, but the station and its
constitutents can see reasosn to be optimistic going forward.

“We aren't even close to being out of the picture yet," says Chair of
Board of Directors Ron Nelson "There are options. And when there's a
will and community support, there's a way.”

Gary Gray's Cornucopia of Keys

Long term piano luminary Gary Gray of the Paul James band will be joining me this Friday, Apr 15th at 12:00 p.m EST for a warp speed overview of  the History of Jazz Piano. The selection of tunes showing the chronological progression of ideas and technique will be drawn from Gary's extensive knowledge and appreciation of the blues-jazz timeline, which he has been demonstrating live in Toronto for the last 40 years.

Nat, Fats, Teddy, Bud, Monk George and Tatum. You'll be all ears.
To listen tune in to 88.1 FM or if you are outside the Toronto area you can listen to a live stream at http://www.ckln.fm/ or tune in Rogers Cable 947

This will be one to record.
