If BB had been less in a hurry to get across Lothian Road on Sunday night, I could have told him my requests in person and saved myself the bother of posting them here :-)
Next week's themes... 11:14pm on 25 Nov 2009 THURSDAY:
So glad this theme's come up as it means I can re-request a song I was unsuccessful with last week...I don't completely dislike Elvis Costello but I do think he's overrated (and so is his wife). There are a few songs of his I really like but they're overplayed...I love...absolutely love...him singing one of my catchphrases - 'GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH'. Others I nominate are Mariah Carey (and forgive me Maria from SDtirling) - 'Vision of Love' (also like her Christmas song but too early for that, Celine Dion - 'It's All Coming Back To Me Now', also can't stand Boyzone but have soft spot for 'No Matter What'. Really hope to hear the Elvis Costello one though.
Next week's themes... 8:59pm on 23 Nov 2009 That's a shame Jim. It's annoying whether the theme is narrowed or widened. And another thing...when I first listened to GIO I loved the inclusion of some 'quirky' tracks and it would be a shame if that was vetoed (is the programme not our show after all?). Well...on to Tuesday's request...when I was about 8 or 9 I, like my sisters before me, had piano lessons. I learned to play for a year or two then my piano teacher up
and died on me (how inconvenient of him). As he was a scary-looking crotchety old man who wore fingerless gloves I thought all piano teachers were the same so never pursued further tuition. That meant I couldn't follow my sisters in playing piano for the creche at church. Even now during prayers I imagine I can hear 'The wise man built his house upon the rock' tinkling (not like Babs's cat) forth from the vestry. The only tune, apart from the first few bars of The Enertainer'and some light classical tunes..that I can play with both hands....badly...is 'DRINK TO ME ONLY WITH THINE EYES'. I thought It'd be impossible to suggest that but I've discovered that it's been recorded by DUKE SPECIAL + NEIL HANNON, also JOHNNY CASH.
Next week's themes... 4:18pm on 23 Nov 2009 Forgot 'Man at C+A'- The Specials.
Next week's themes... 9:09pm on 22 Nov 2009 #58 #65 Well I was more bemused than anything at first but now, after the further explanation, I'm a bit hurt ;-)
