What a start to the show. Will there be a better record? (I reckon I know the answer already, having glanced at a much later post though not the actual song). Saying that as I type, song 2 is playing - the foundation to thousands of other songs.

I’ve been so lucky to have met some amazing folk.
Singer/songwriter Neil Sedaka was one.
A tornado of talent & enthusiasm.
What an amazing tunesmith he was. Such songs.
On the way out after i/v’ing him for the radio - he squeezed my arm & said “Gary, I love your energy!”
RIP to a true Pop titan 🙏.
Neil Sedaka was so talented, and he inspired me to follow my dream of being a songwriter.
With love and gratitude and condolences to his family.

More funny now.
The marvellous Brinsley Schwarz.
Trying out the Big Pink look. (Doesn’t Nick Lowe suit the beard?)
Nick’s finest song, and the best known Brinsleys record, is ending this week’s Late Show. And what exactly IS so funny about peace and love and understanding?

Good man, Simon. Taking over a once proud institution and starting again from scratch. Can’t be worse than the last crowd, I suppose.
Good record too. (Feels Funny) But I’m Getting Used To It now on the MB Late Record Show.

The Beat. All Out To Get You now on the radio, sounding as brilliant as it did in 1981. Ranking Roger’s son is keeping the flame alive. (As I will see and hear up close in October)

Den & Rita & Horatio & Iain & John & George & Hammy & Bob did it proud.

Have Darts been written out of our popular music history?
That’s tonight’s Moral Maze on BBC Radio 4. Meanwhile, on the MB Record Show, the marvellous Come Back My Love is sounding tip top.

It’s the Au Pairs. 2026 edition. Lesley with the hat and the attitude and the singing.
Playing in Belfast next weekend. So a good time to play ‘It’s Obvious’, because ‘obvious is the producer’s friend’ says my chum Paul.
