Well, there we go. Thank you very much to Mr. Mark Robison. Standing in for Bully. Nice show, mate.
All right, I'm going to stick with me for the next couple of hours. Sure as truely, Les Knott, welcome to Here to Zero Radio. So, we went through till nine. Quality jazz funk and soul all the way. Top of the hour at eight o'clock. Couple of little jazzy tracks. And that's in the Connoisseurs corner. Between now and then, the back to back classic by a classic artist. And in a second, I've got some new ones. We've got a couple of nice, really new ones. We've got the three that's been dug out of my garage. Yep, not from the archives, but dug out of Lizzie's garage. And boy have we gone back this time.
All right, and all the sliders and all the knobs will in the right places. I think we're ready to go, don't you?
All right, sorry about that, everybody. Yes, it's a live radio, yes. And I said, let's go. I pressed the knob. And it went all different sets and all loads of different things all over the place. But we're back again now. Here we go. Jazz, funk and soul with Les Knotts. The perfect way to finish your Thursday evening.
Well, there we go, yes. Therese has already said, Superb opener.

Let's have a bit of The Band Aka. There we go, Grace. Loving it. Yes, well, if you like that one, Therese, I know you're gonna like this.
There we go, the sound of Bobby Thurston, of course, in the very last drop. Seems to me, they've run on the message at the moment. They're wilting a bit out there, aren't they? It's been a very hot day today. Had a swim this morning, but then had a lot to do over in Kingslyn. Boy, it was hot over there. So, what I'm doing now is quite warming my studio. I've got a little fan here. If I said I'm sitting here and re-boxes, well, that's true.
