Almost unbelievable. I'd completely forgotten that I'd messaged him about the Mingus tune.

A well-scheduled timetable, well-maintained buses and the roads & streets upon which they travel; these are some of the benchmarks of a civilised and caring society.

I hope you're enjoying your new role and I know you'll make a great success of whatever you turn your hand to.

Hi mate, yes of course I knew you'd moved but as you always struck me as being an unfeasibly decent fellow I thought I'd just see how you're getting on.
I don't think Chris has actually had many early shows since you left, with holidays & late shifts, but I'm sure he & Emmie are getting on fine.

What a place that is. I used to go there to sit in with Peel before his shows were moved to Egton House. I still hanker after the massive black and white portrait of Ivor Cutler that hung on the rest of the lobby. How and if I may ask, where, are you now?

Well honestly, I'd never have pegged you as being anywhere near that age. Do you sleep in a barrel of vinegar or summat?

Getting by thanks. Trying to deal with what seems like rapidly advancing old age.

The Creative Consciousness Society! They did the revamped theme tune to TOTP, if you recall. I don't know the track to which you refer but I'll see if it's on YouTube. I hope your day goes well xxxx

Somewhat disappointed tbh, as it wasn't the version I had in mind. The version on the 45 I have and the LP from which it came, doesn't have any brass or sax on it. When I looked for it on YouTube it wasn't there either but ANOTHER different version was!
Anyway, I'm glad you liked it 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Ok mate. I'll do 4 with footnotes and just list the others so if any of them DO take your fancy you can get back in touch.
Is everything bedded in since the time cut? I try not to be mithered about matters outwith my control but by jiminy I'm so mad at the loss of hours.

Ok I'll see what I can do, but decision making was never my strong point. One of the tracks is 5 mins is that too long?
