Well, there we go, thanks very much to Bully. Absolutely wonderful show, mate, and finishing with my favorite band in the whole wide world, but did it, oh, Jays, oh, yeah. All right, I was gonna stick with me for the next couple of hours, taking you through four or five, maybe six decades of music. Quality jazz funk and soul all the way, taking you through to nine o'clock. And over here at the top of the hour, we have the Coliseum's Corner, which at eight o'clock, a nice couple of jazz tracks for you. Between now and then, the back to back classics by classic artists, and in direct the art of some new ones in the second half, we've got the three that's been dug out of my garage. Not from the archives, but from Lizzie's garage.
Right, and all the knobs, all the sliders, all in the right places. I think we're ready to go, aren't you? Here we go then.

So how about I went and played this for a long, long time, yes. From the year 1979, some of Davd Bendeth. And then we go, feel the real.
Oh, I've forgotten how good that was. Anyway, from the same year as that, we got Jackie More.
Well, there we go, 1979, oh yeah, Jackie More this time, baby. Lots of versions of this, but I do like this one. It gets you going, doesn't it? Especially if you're cooking pizzas out in your garden. Is that Rowley? So yeah, you got to say hi to Roli Keachie. Cooking pizzas on this fine evening. Absolutely wonderful out here. And you got to say hi to Mr. Steve Lovell over there in Crete. Sitting at a bar, having a drink, listening to me.
