In full DJ mode now.
Heres a classic 70s rock track.
Not played enough on the radio, but here goes…
A solo number by Joe Walsh, performed here with the Eagles…Glen Frey on keyboard.
Enjoy…
Several… years there was a song on a new TV advert. One of nieces was surprised when I started singing along with it, not realising that the song was decades old.
Surprised I knew the song.
Shocked at my “singing” voice!
Just reading some of the tracks on that TOTP album.
You tend to think that some of the best stuff (or I do) was done in the 70s, but Jeez when you read that…The Carpenters, Little Jimmy Osmond The Glitter band …there was a lot of absolute cack in the charts then also.
And you can see why The ■■■ Pistols took off.
As for Mayfair mag?
Never seen one before…he lied.
Definition of an intellectual?
Someone who can listen to this without thinking of helicopters
I luuuurve the smell of Napalm in the morning. Bugger! That’s me out of the intellectual camp then!

Or listening to Rossini’s William Tell Overture without thinking of The Lone Ranger
Both impossible to do
Not to mention Strauss’s Also Sprake Zarathustra (Apollo moonshots) and Dvorak’s New World Symphony (Hovis bread), and TBH most of this album basically
One that always gets me is Myfanwy, in Welsh by a Welsh Male voice choir.
A love song, I haven’t learned the English lyrics, always too busy trying to read the Welsh ones.
Intellectual thing?
Listening to Handl’s Zadok The Priest, without thinking about your team in The Champions League.
Best one so far…
Carl Orrf’s Carmina Burana o fortuna without thinking about Rodney Trotter looking at his nephew Damien.
Btw… I know I can be a ‘flash git’ sometimes, but not that ‘flash’.
I’m a complete Classical musical philistine, did not know the titles, so had to google them. .
Carmina Burana, lots of blokes in Black Tie and Ladies in posh frocks, singing songs written by monks which are basically extolling the virtues of drinking and er… the “making of the beast with two backs”, very fancy for a Saturday night out
My first experience of Beethoven came from a TV programme around 1969/1970 called Manhunt.
Here’s a trailer, I wonder if I can find whole episodes somewhere online
Wow ! Manhunt…I actually remember that.
Anything WW2 as a kid floated my boat big style…still does in fact.
Seeing Cyd Hayman being interrogated with her threepeny bits out as a young boy left a big impression.
Hurry !

Talking Pictures TV does lots of old TV and older films.
Public Eye, Enemy at the Door, Secret Army, Van Der Valk, Hazell, Budgie.
Bloody hell more memories Frangers.
Watched all of them listed.
Also…
The Baron.
Man in a suitcase.
Danger Man.
No Hiding place.
The Champions
Man at the top…
Boquet of barbed wire.
(mebbys shouldnt have been allowed to watch some of those in your list and mine, at the young age I was…but the effect mebbys explains a lot.)
To go further back, programnes shown that were even old in the late 60s
Gideons Way.
Sergeant Cork.
More will come back to me.
No Hiding Place, The Champions, Gideons Way, have been on there too I think.
Wait a few months and they will be back again I suspect.
Rawhide with a very young Clint Eastwood,
Bonanza - excellent Billy Connolly joke!
77 Sunset Strip had a character called Cookie, lead actor was Ephram Zimbalest Jnr. I think.
Perry Mason courtroom drama.
That’s one of my clearest memories of being about 8 or 9! Sitting with all the family watching telly, wanting to, er… “appreciate the post-9pm watershed moment” but at the same time not wanting to be seen doing it in case I got sent out of the room by a somewhat puritanical mother for being too interested 
Around the same time there was a science programme, which might have been later that same evening, the theme tune was Jethro Tull “Living in the Past”, usually followed by an old B&W horror movie starring Bela Lugosi or Lon Chaney Jr.
Gideons Way was great product placement for the Austin Westminster/Woleseley 6110 like The Sweeney and the Granada.
Also the Vauxhall Ventora in Randall and Hopkirk.
Or to be pedantic Vauxhall Victor,.same model as my Dad owned at the time.
Another song with film associations.
A gentle ballad with wonderful lyrics.
One that as far as I know, never made it overseas, but was very popular here on the 70s and 80s.
Its worth looking on the tube for more Renee, if you appreciated this one.
