* At the time of this message, it still isn't clear if we will have Jocelyn Brown on this week's show. If we do, we will try to do it in the second hour. If we won't have her this week, the Grooveline Timeline will feature Light Of The World, including three tracks we've never played. We start off in the late 70s, head into the early 80s and finish up with a brand new track from their recent Anthology.

* Plus, an account of the previous night's Earth Wind & Fire gig at Wembley Arena. The way things are looking right now, it will be an incredible, and rather late, night!
