Thanks for Clearing up regarding RCSW & Yourself - yes, I knew you were not involved before 1983 - when I terminated SW transmissions - our job done!
Ronan was quite happy about RCSW - just so long as I did not need money from him! - I suppose at that time, Rob Eden was doing the "Managers" job - that you now do?
RCSW gave a young Mark Matthews (Peter) some airplay, along with Barry James (Saint James then) & also his wife: Bud ! who all made programmes - even Albert Hood, made some - under the name: Stuart Atkinson ! - There was also a Caroline East on SW at that time - from near the Malvern Hills, operated by a top-secret GPO engineer - we worked together on alternate weeks.
RCSW was very much "Amature hour" but it helped to keep the name alive, at a time (1980 - 83) when many folks thought of Caroline, being Dead & Buried.
There was not a happier person than myself, when That Red ship with the huge mast, was on Anglia TV local news, sailing up the bay of Biscay towards Knock deep in August 1983.
Keep well.
Hmmm ?
If you consider the Kinks or Al Stewart or Linda Ronstadt, I could listen ( almost ) to anything they recorded. Steve Harley in my view is not in the category of ' every one's a winner '. He does a good cover of Here Comes The Sun and I can live with Judy Teen and Come Up And See Me. I like Sebastian as it is clever and melodic.
All a matter of taste and when I look at our Top 15's my heart sinks when Space Trucking is chosen pr Love In An Elevator, or The Faith Healer. If I hear Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick one more time I may throw the radio across the room.
While I am here some nut jobs on the nut job board are suggesting that I had some sort of downer on what was Caroline Short Wave. That makes no sense as firstly I was not even aware of it and next that I got involved in 1985 or thereabouts when seemingly it had long since ceased.
The loonies make things up to cause ill feeling or to seem important as they have ' inside info '.
PM.
I believe this was a particular favourite of yours Peter?
could you tell us why?
Thanks.
