THURSDAY



Not quite Christmas, 2002. Mary Gauthier is gonna call her mother on the telephone.

Nothing unusual about that, I hear you thinking. Except...

(We only get to hear one side of the conversation).

Mark Knopfler wrote this when he heard of the recovery of the text messages sent from the people trapped inside the WTC to their loved ones.

Very poignant

Mavis Staples growling her way though "Jesus is on the Mainline"would ring my bell or Manhatten Transfer's "Operator"or as a guilty pleasure Petula Clark or Lulu singing "Call Me"(not the Blondie song)Cheers Willie Bartke

There seem to be a number of songs called Call Me (Go West and Aretha Franklin among them) and enough diverse versions of Tony Hatch's song (from Astrud Gilberto to Mike Flowers) to fill a programme, which would be more interesting than many of them.

#64,Aretha could sing the phonebook and make it sound interesting but that particular "Call Me"I find really tedious.Cheers,Willie Bartke

Pretty obviously - Telephone Man by Meri Wilson 1977

#65

I wasn't familiar with this song but it does seem to be much ado about very little and she's no Susan Boyle.

My Pink Martini suggestion for today is...

'Hey Eugene'...Girl meets a guy at a party...he writes her number on a paper towel and says he'll call her on Sunday...he doesn't...she calls him...he doesn't even remember her...men!...pah!

Ah!
