The return of Waxy Maxy

[Globaltruth]

Missed the lot of it - that's a drag.

whisper it ever so quiet - you didn't miss much. It was as I feared (and this may be a self-fulfilling prophecy) - great if you were there (probably) but frankly a little dull if you weren't. Interviews were the worst bit. Ho hum.
Here's a sample:

Let's all give the Snowy owl a big round of applause

I thought: "Please don't, I'm sure it's scared enough as it is, next thing you'll be asking us to wave flaming candles or something"

Yes, they are definitely worth a visit - they did the rounds here and have also been at Musicport. I believe they now live in England.

In the immortal words of PS ' I have some pictures somewhere'...but this

isn't one of them.
It's that well known ethnomusicographer Frances Densmore
but why the music stand?

Almost got caught out there - Max is back this week, slightly out of synch with my slide rule calculations - FT must be on one of her Scandinavian sojourns - wonder if he's going to be live - he's got a smart new photie up there - great hat, though he's making me think a bit of this sadly departed old buffer.

This is one for earlier on R3 tomorrow evening - looks sort of interesting - human jukebox.

And this is Old Hat

Every programme should wear one.

And following on from that a cracking programme or six could be created by a top team of two ( see above photo ) visiting Joe while
he's still here.

( I know he's been on the telly but that's not the same ... )

Get him over there, Paul, hat'n'all - that would be fine radio indeed.

Extraordinary - a most interesting interview!

Didn't fancy Hannah MacKay and her Idle Chatter on Tuesday evening for all Max' enthusiasm - but I changed my mind last night - most enjoyable - was it different chatter or was my head somewhere else? The Avocado Seed Symphony of Leo Watson was top notch too - sometimes I like short programmes even if I feel short changed. Max really is good live.

....and not to indulge in pointless banter I once again enjoyed Hannah MacKay this time doing Notjustmoreidlechatter on the old listen again. Haven't reached the Late Junction Session yet - still considering it - you know what I mean, don't you?

I didn't catch that one but I liked that track tonight by Krar Collective. Like Teddy Afro - and at his least commercial.

Odd to think that three years ago, I couldn't quite understand the fuss about Ethiopian music. Now I prefer it to a lot of other stuff.

But here's a thing, an iPlayer thing - there is a new version of iPlayer. You can download programmes to your computing device of choice & keep them for 30 days. But ONLY TV programmes. How odd. I would have thought it
would have been easier, or as easy, to download radio programmes. Reason I know? I tried to download one of MaxMeisters

I'm sure there's a testy tech thread over on Plat 3 ....
