What about good and forgotten tracks you very rarely here on the radio anymore…(because they only play the same old stuff when it comes to oldies on the radio. )
Tracks you once liked or loved,.and when you hear them , it’s like hearing again for first time, as it was so long since you last heard them…and the memories they stir up…
Any genre of music btw.
2 I heard last few days for starters.
4 Non Blondes …‘‘What’s up’’.
Reminds me of my kids coming with me abroad in truck in 90s for.some reason.
Van McCoy The Hustle ftom the 70s
Takes me back to days in my teens posing around in discos trying to get fixed up with this very fit girl I fancied at the time…(I did btw )
youtu.be/NRtvqT_wMeY reminds me of childline and all those sad sad kids…

Linda Berry?.., you’d be barking up the wrong tree there mate,.as far as I know she’s lesbian.
‘■■■ on legs’ to me was (and still is) Kim Wilde,.but I’ve got a weakness for all things blonde and female. …in fact I married a one .
Yeh Tom Robinson good track is that, out a little before I was driving,.so you’re wayyyyy older than me it seems.
I used to play that in my ‘superstar DJ’ days.
yep i think the whole group were lemons ,but i can watch cant i… … as for age ye cheeky young ■■■■■■ i’m 64 and loving life …
kim has certainly passed her best mate not for me …
The Film is loosely based upon the life of my all time favourite artist: Janis Joplin. I know she is an acquired taste with many saying she can’t sing but this live performance shows that she can and the vulnerability behind the Rock Chick image so well. In reality she is singing about herself.
I recently discovered a BBC radio show “Beat Surrender”, Saturday afternoon about 6pm, also available for download on BBC sounds. Tons of great songs you may never have heard for years, yesterday was everything from ■■■ Pistols, to The Beat, to X-Ray Spex and shed loads of others
But it’s getting cut from September for some reason
From one of the Comments:
"Stevie originally wrote this song for Joe Walsh after he took her to a park in Colorado where he had a plaque and a water fountain built in memory of his three year old daughter, Emma who was tragically killed in a car accident on her way to school with her mom. Joe had been on the road and he was due home the day the accident occurred. By the time he got home, his wife was in a coma from serious internal injuries and his daughter was on life support. She underwent surgery for severe brain injuries but there was nothing they could do and Joe had to make the painful decision to take her off of life support. He had the water fountain built at the park in Colorado, that he used to bring Emma to. And the only thing she complained about was that she couldn’t reach the fountain to drink water from and Joe would have to pick her up to hold her. Years later, when he and Stevie had been together for a while there, he took her on a road trip because apparently Stevie was complaining about some things and he wanted to show her that what she was complaining about was nothing. On the way to the park he told her a story about Emma but unbeknownst to Stevie at first, it did not dawn on her that he was talking about his own daughter until they got near the park. After seeing the memorial, Stevie broke down and wrote this song for Joe and I guess a tribute to a Emma as well in her own way."
Golden Earing’s Radar Love brings back memories of just about managing to hear it on Mi Amigo/Caroline above the noise as I came down the fast stretch of the M1 south from Watford Gap to Scratchwood with a backload of flagstones in an AEC Marshal.
If we are really lucky then just maybe we may get some Dylan, but it is always Rolling Stone or Lay Lady Lay.
I’ve never heard this masterpiece on the radio. Proper Dylan with a voice you can hear clearly and the brilliant guitar fills and lead of Charlie McCoy. The Lyrics, as often with Dylan tell a story, this time they start with a lynching his father witnessed.

Never been a fan of Dylan,.never really got him
However I liked one of his later singles around 79 I think it was …‘Stop Crying’, youtu.be/ppmlVibkDPY
It takes me back to a night out in a pub in Bognor Regis my mate driving as I hadn’t started then.
We were both keen pool players and neither of us could beat this lad…turned out he was W.Sussex pool.champion, .
We ended up crashing out with a load of American students,. (who also could not beat him)
After a night clubbing it, one of the girls ran us back to the truck next morning…(he kept putting that track on the jukebox while we were all setting the balls up after getting beat each time. )
Great old days…just my point about music evoking memories.

I heard this song by Ruby Winters as I was driving up the A19 one night.I wanted to find out what the song was but by the time I got to Washington,I made a mistake with the lyrics.So when I googled"youre the one who told me that our love would last forever",it didnt show up on a search,so I tried to find other ways.I thought it might be Gladys Knight and the pips or Bonnie Tyler,and I listened to all their tracks in the hope of finding it.all to no avail.I even sent an e mail to magic fm if they would tell me what the song was.Got no reply.It was seven years before I was able to find what it was,after mentioning it to a female lorry driver who immediatley recognised it from me singing it.
Its a sad song but then thats necessary sometimes for a good song.I was thinking,if we lived in a perfect world,there would be no broken hearts and ,you know,dont we all wish we did.But if we did then,there wouldnt be anything to base these songs on!
