For some strange techy reason beyond this Old Git’s grasp I couldn’t post my usual blog / waffle this Saturday. Or … it could be that I had a teensy-weensy man-cold coming on and was just unable to cope with what is normally a simple task ! However, here I am and I have posted below the songs you would have heard if you’d listened to my show in the last week …
I will be back in the studio live as always tomorrow (Monday) and depending on how the cold pans out there may or may not be as much chitter chatter as usual in between the fab 70s & 80s soul, jazz-funk & disco tunes – hey, I might even get an extra song in ! 😉
Take a listen if you can between 7 & 9pm this Monday or the repeat play on Saturday between 5 & 7pm to hear tunes like these :
