There are other radio stations available outside of the BBC, Dave.
Yes, but frankly I'd be reaching for the mute button every damn time a commercial came on!
Grumpy? Who - me??

Right then Mr M ....... here's a thought.
As you know I'm always pondering on themes for sessions on the pool at the IMBS. How about a slot for older models (such as good old wooden 'Sea Queens' and the like). This would be conducted to a compilation of well known hits from the 50's & 60's. Everyone can sail around tapping their feet and singing along. I'm already groovin' baby!
I think this has legs ......... wot ya think?

[DaveM]

I think I'll pass on that one, Steve, but don't let that slow you down. Just make sure Chris D's paid his PRS dues!

I like that idea Steve.
What about a Heavy Metal selection for the warships session ?
and a Bryan Ferry selection for the Fe..............?
Check please...................I'll get my coat........................ .Alan

Someone mentioned the Big Bands, (the swing era) which I inadvertently left off my list of favourites. The famous Benny Goodman 1938 Jazz Concert at Carnegie Hall is one of my all time favourites. It was recorded on January 16, 1938, just 9 days before my first birthday and, while I don't actually remember it from then  , by the time I was in high school in 1949 I was completely hooked. I have owned it on vinyl, cassette, CD, and now digital, and it still gets a regular playing 70 years later. Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, the Dorsey Bros, Duke Ellington, Woody Herman and, to a lesser extent, Stan Kenton and Ted Heath are also on my list.

I agree with that, got the two CDs. Ziggy Elman playing the trumpet in that style and the singing of "I could say " Bella Bella" great track off a superb album.nemesis

Am I the only Radio 3 junkie?

[Bob K]

I only seem to get Radio Reading Football Club (AKA BBC Radio Berkshire  )

How much do Reading FC pay the BBC for their apparent 30% of broadcast time being dedicated just to their team?).
