Walked past the park bench dedicated to Delroy Washington today...

Thought "Waiting for the Out" was very, very good. While not wishing to deny anybody work, I hope it's left as a one-off 6 part series.

Contains; Jazz. Jokes. Nazis. The IRA. More jokes. Kinder Transport. Transport Caffs. Lenny Bruce. Samuel Beckett. Bits. Estate Agents. Harold Pinter. More jokes. Accidentally getting famous. Top of The Pops. Top of The Form. Stanislavski. Peter Cook. Peter Sutcliffe. "I wouldn't open with it".

Got it on Vinyl. Somewhere. This is promising.

Boomer steps up. He feels that impulse. I hope the tradition of the rapid-response song (eg Ohio) doesn't disappear

Stick around for the Mary Travers verse.

Heard the sad news about Sly Dunbar on the school run of all places. I don’t even really know where to start with his immeasurable contribution to music and, well, everything, but watching him at work is best.

Here’s Sly and Robbie in action with Black Uhuru at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park in 1981

Hats off to Mark Tully. Brilliant journalist. One of the great radio voices.

Channel flicking and there's Simon and Garfunkel and a beautiful rendition of An American Tune and that's me done.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Art for the Millions - Series 1 - 1. Artists Gotta Eat - BBC Sounds During the Great Depression, the US government turned to the arts for national uplift.

This is a very good way to escape for for half an hour.

Strange to watch a programme that baffled me 50 years ago. Still does as I wonder about the careers of those lower down the bill.

The are encouraging plagiarism.

All the best to you. X

Better get up so I can unleash my inner Reggie Perrin.

Yes. From this morning.

In Our Time Mk2 elegantly chaired. 8/10. Could do with the programme loosening up a bit in places but that’ll come in the next few weeks.

If he comes in for a cuddle like this, he's a keeper.
