We missed our Ed-Fm, as he was unceremoniously preempted last week. Did he make it up to us? You betcha. Take a look
at the playlist, and you’ll see it for yourself. And next week, do yourself a huge favor and listen for yourself.
You will not regret it.

Tune in to Ed and his “now you see me, now you don’t” 80’s Retrospect show on CFRC-FM from 8 pm until 10 pm on Tuesday nights. Ed takes requests by phone: (613) 533-CFRC (2372) or email: retrospectcfrc at yahoo dot ca. Indulge yourself in some “80’s Music that doesn’t suck.” I guarantee die-hard 80’s New Wave/post-punk fans will not be disappointed.

There may be snow on the ground where you live–and it’s certainly “unseasonably cold” in SoFla tonight–but David played us songs to get the blood pumping and to warm our souls.

The calendar says it’s winter, but I don’t think Mother Nature is completely on board. It has been mild all over the
North American continent, from Canada, all the way down here in SoFla. Ed-FM added to unseasonable heat with some
hot obscure 80′s tunes. If he doesn’t watch out, he may just single-handedly melt the polar icecaps.

Tune in to Ed and his “I think I hear something dripping” 80’s Retrospect show on CFRC-FM from 8 pm until 10 pm on Tuesday nights.

Tonight was very, very difficult. David created a fantastic and heartfelt tribute to SistahMar (Marilyn Hamilton), recalling how they first met, and how Marilyn was instrumental in creating the chatroom that brought so many lovely people together. The common thread was folks who shared a love for David and his music, and who found lasting friendship with each other.

Still reeling from losing one of the best friends a person could ever wish for, I wasn’t sure about tuning in tonight. But Ed-FM washed away any doubt, and for two hours, the music made me whole again. Thank you Ed for all you do. The world is definitely a sadder place with Sistahmar’s passing, but you have brought some of the light back in with your warmth and your signature obscure 80′s music. Goodnight, sweet Sistahmar.

I had the privilege of meeting Sistahmar nearly 4 years ago when I stumbled into the Marsbar Theatre Chatroom. After listening to David Marsden‘s free-form, “anything goes” broadcast (streaming live over the Internet from 94.9 The Rock) and hearing the tales he spun about the chatroom regulars, I decided to take a walk on the “dark side” and check it out for myself. Upon entering the room, I was warmly greeted by the Roving Ambassador herself, launching what was to be a close and ironclad friendship.

Over the years, we have laughed, cried, loved, gossiped, shared, planned and even plotted together via telephone and email. The minute we realized we both had the same birthday, the unbreakable bond was forged. Marilyn fondly referred to me as her “evil twin sister,” a badge I wear with fierce pride, while she will always be my “partner in crime.”

Although the news of Marilyn’s passing was much like being hit by a speeding train, I have managed to find some solace in the pain and sadness. I believe she has finally been reunited with her beloved husband Bob, who predeceased her about 8 years ago. She missed him sorely, and instead of her loss becoming easier as time went on, it actually became more difficult. I imagine the two of them walking arm-in-arm along the banks of the lake they enjoyed so much in years gone by, pausing for a moment to share a whisper, steal a kiss, and have a giggle or two. There they wait patiently until they are finally reunited for eternity with all of the friends they loved so much, and who loved them, in this lifetime.

For my dear friend and soul sister Marilyn Hamilton who slipped from this world and into eternity, leaving a hole the size of the universe in each of our hearts: May you finally rest in peace. The light you gave to my life and so many others will never be extinguished, the joy you brought will always be remembered. Thank you for a friendship that transcended distance. I will always love you.
