Wherever I lay my hat...
This is your Uncle bowing out once again...sadly I've only been with you for 2 nights this week, but I had a ball nonetheless. Last night's Modes of Transport (other than cars!) theme was great. You certainly rose to the challenge - I particularly enjoyed playing Pink Floyd, The Johnny Mann Singers and The Ethiopians. Thank you for choosing the music and suggesting some superb tracks.
Bryan's back on Monday with a brand new string of themes, so start thinking... I can reveal that Monday's show has the theme of 'Accommodation'. Perhaps you'll be checking in on America's West Coast to the 'Hotel California'; taking a camping trip for a 'Wigwam bam'; or getting all romantic in a 'Caravan of love' - there's plenty to choose from. Whether rooms, houses, flats, tents, hotels or mobile homes....no matter the accommodation, get it in and Bryan will get it on

A few years ago I fell in love with the Scottish variety of English watching 'My name is Joe' (Starring Peter MULLAN) and 'The winter guest' (Starring Phyllida LAW and Emma THOMPSON.

As intelligent M. Naud!
The animals sat in the Ark and cried,
Their tears in torrents flowed.
Who was it said, 'There's land ahead'?

Thanks to Mary-Doll, I have a copy of the first Caravan Palace album.
The Herald's recent review of the Caro Emerald gig expressed some surprise at the inclusion of a DJ in what was otherwise a Count Basie set up - but to understand the sudden rise and rise of Caro Emerald you have to first understand the extent o which our continental cousins love electro-swing. Reinhardt and Grappelli influenced,Caravan Palace is where it started, I think. interesting, but well worth a listen - doubtless not in the library.
