I'm sorry I haven't a clue



that's great a LINK - (otherwise it's kerazy looking at all stuff, (and there's enough on it) and i was getting dizzy with it.

Give The Drummer Some

will do!

thanks again.

Dizzy making indeed - for if you only enjoyed just one show, it's probable that you could have at least a thousand hours of archive to delve in to.
The station has just finished its fundraising fortnight - The Marathon. Listeners have coughed up $1.2 million. That's true love, more so than even a mini-break in the Cotswolds.

PS.
I have to say this handsome, but if you know of any finer jazz sequences on radio than the ones Doug Schulkind has played in his programmes,
then you must declare so to this parish ...

at least a thousand hours of archive to delve in to.

i'm dusting off my very best nerd anorak in readiness for complete introversion.

substantial archives bring a whole new meaning to the phrase 'read only memory' ...(and i shall, for as long as possible)

$1.2 million. That's true love, tis too, and another bonus is that we don't have to see nasty stickers saying 'sponsored by the ' or whoever. which rather neatly brings us right back ontopic to 'the peel building'. huzzah!

thanks again paul sherratt.

Doug Schulkind

is that a jazzbo on wfmu ...? bliss.

i'll bear the parish in mind too - promise to be humbler than the church mouse.

[Paul Sherratt]

Scan that list of artists played ... it will only take about 30 minutes !

radios are beautiful, and that woody one especially, wouldn't mind it on my 'bedside table' .... which is actually the floor (tbh)

[Paul Sherratt]

Saw a floor standing radio in a house the other day - a beat-up US model. Three names on the dial under 'foreign' London, Guatemala and I forget the third - I knew I should have taken a picture ... !
But why Guatemala ??? Btw, folk tuning in to Give The Drummer Some's next Tuesday's one hour show will be treated to a Roxy Gordon special. Not that you need to follow Roxy Gordon's name with 'special'

Parry, do you think there's any truth in the rumour going around that the new DG has had a suggestion from his ABC counterpart to consider naming it 'The Eugene Goossens Wing' ?

[french frank]

' Speaking at the time, Mr Thompson said it was "a fitting tribute to a man who personified so much of what the BBC stands for".'

First time I've looked at this thread ... and there was I thinking it was about Sir Robert.

No, wrong channel
