Sex

agenarion!

Yes are you in your sixties (or older like some visitors here)?

If so post your memories of listening to Athlone, Stars Of Jazz, AFM, Luxembourg etc. Or send direct to Bryan Burnette.

I will be suggesting Van In The Days Before Rock n Roll. But I will be suprised if it gets a play. This is not the same as Julies regular posts along the lines of "I ask for this a hundred times you never play my stuff etc etc". I really doubt it will get played (too long).

    2. I have our old Philips radio in the loft. We used to listen to Michael Miles in Take Your Pick on Luxembourg. Reception was poor - similar to DAB.

    1. They seem to be looking for a 50s/60s night. The original teenagers will be 70 now and having their chins (and other things) wiped by nice young nurses.

    8. In 1973 Allan Freeman was playing good music on a Saturday afternoon. Cliff, Jimmy, Donny, David, Gilbert - nope, none of them featured.

    9. Well Gaie, we were all too busy oot playin fitbaw and rugby on Saturday afternoons. Nae danger o us, having to stay at home and decide between the horse racing on World o Sport or listening tae the wireless.

    11. Wasn't home, Adam, was a sad wee room where I spent 4 years toiling over maths books - yes even on a Saturday afternoon. Heaven knows why. Rick Derringer, Alvin Lee, ELP, they all brought some light into the hours of toil before discovering it was Saturday night and I wasn't going anywhere.
      Help ma boab, I'm nearly greetin'.
      Oh get a grip, girl, wasn't all like that, you were never indoors in the holidays. Up with the lark, out onto the moors on a horse, sun always shining, long evenings in the pub (working, but it didn't feel like it)....

      My son just tweeted the challenge to ask what course would you put down if faced with a UCAS form to fill in now. An interesting question.

    12. Ah, the days when horses were for trotting not potting.
