I loved my radio as a kid. I remember listening to it in bed with my mono earpiece & my thumbnail in the tuning dial trying to keep in tune.

Yep, thatโ€™s exactly how I remember my wellies, and the sore legs where they used to rub!

Thatโ€™s a great song Mike & beautifully arranged too, & with Paul Carrackโ€™s velvet voice, a perfect fit.

Just watched a great interview with Chas Hodges talking about Gene Vincent on Rock n Roll videos on youtube. Well worth a watch & some great names from the past mentioned too. Iโ€™m sure @kategarnermusic.bsky.social will have seen it but if not!

No apologies needed Mike, it was from Amazon.The only reason I had to wait was because my wife bought it for my birthday. I wanted it earlier but sheโ€™d already ordered it.

The wait is over Mike, You no longer have to starve! Looking forward to this, Iโ€™ve waited long enough!

I remember his party piece playing out of tune! He did it so well, I would imagine itโ€™s not as easy as it might seem to still make the tune recognisable.

By the way, my book "The Closest Thing To Crazy" is still out...I just thought while you are at Amazon getting the Wombles GOLDEN album containing Wombling Merry Christmas, you could get the book at the same time. Save petrol. Only thinking of you. ๐Ÿ˜˜

Thanks for that Mike much appreciated. Couple of weeks till I get the book. Canโ€™t wait!

Looking forward to reading it Mike but have to wait until my Birthday as itโ€™s been bought! By the way, how did the name โ€œWombleโ€s come about? Or is it in the book!
