Title: What are you listening to in the car?
Post by: silverbullet on February 01, 2023, 08:22:52 pm
I met a guy in the cab who played trumpet professionally for the last twenty years. His hero is a guy called Uan Rasey who played on films like Chinatown.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36NqbudSHVU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36NqbudSHVU)

While looking up Uan, I found this guy who's absolute class. A must for any Jazz/Blues fan:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2CyGu7OEt4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2CyGu7OEt4)

RTE radio 1 on Sunday night/Mon mornings plays 'Gold', I only discovered it last week on a way out of town long job.
The real Goodies from the old time like 'Mull of Kintyre' (Wings), 'Baby Love' (Supremes), 'Dixieland' (Elvis), Etc ...

Shite station, everyone is far right anytime I had it on I erased it from the memory. The only ones I have on the display is 4 locals, RnaG and lyric. Most of the time radio is off and I'm tuned intointo reality.

Like I posted;
RTE radio 1 on Sunday night/Mon mornings .......
Sunday Night/Monday mornings !
To be more precise 'at a guess' RTE 1 'Gold' 2am to 5.30am.

I know I'm a big old Softie but Debbie Harry, Diana Ross, Chrissie Hynde, Olivia NJ and Agnetha Fältskog, Etc. all melt my auld Heart !

*If* I think about it, I tune in Spin if the passenger looks under 25 and Todayfm is over 25.  Have Lyric as a fav just in case but only asked for it once in 15+ years!

Todayfm have a 1hr Sunday morning show where they play only Irish (rock/pop) music.  It's not bad, something different. 

But who remembers 'Sunday Morning Coming Down'.  Can't remember the (pirate?) station but that was a brilliant show.

RTE 'Gold' have a short news summary on the hour by night, Classic hits 4FM have 1 add on the hour during the night.
But as you don't work by night or indeed Work at all, Who cares ?

Just because I'm having a little break does not imply I'm some kinda layabout Ken. I reckon you wouldn't know a hard day's work from the inner workings of an mri machine. I've probably worked more in 20 years than you've worked your entire life. Ye lazy git.

Done the guts of 9 hours myself yesterday, erm... starting at 15:01, soon after Sunday luncheon, Sunday luncheon without a glass of wine or a whiskey with the post dinner smoke. I don't think people appreciate the sacrifices we make. I went out to dinner once last week... on a Wednesday and I can't remember the last time I went to the public bar... although, I'm not sure if that's down to my ever diminishing memory function or because there's an inordinately relatively long gap evolving between visits.

Listening to Talking Heads.

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?" 8)
