Rainy Day CD
Tonight's show will be a weird mix of Human League material and songs about 'Rain' ... but then again it's the strange mix that makes this show such fun to present, and I hope to listen to.
Talking of 'rain' , I mentioned that I would post the great e-mail that Alan Richmond in Fife sent in. I've often thought we should do a week of shows that run like C-60 compilation tapes, and looking at this list has convinced me it would work really well...
Every year when we go on the family holiday I do a compilation CD for the car. After the California trip last year, complete with an appropriately themed CD (tracklist available on request), it was a holiday in the UK this year. The CD accompanying this trip was titled "Cats and Dogs: A Rain Compilation".
Some very obvious choices but below is the full 2 disc extravaganza to choose from. Play the Aztec Camera track for my wife Lynn - a big Get It On fan. High Land, Hard Rain, indeed........
