Next week's themes...
It's time to reveal the themes for another week. You can leave your suggestions here on the blog or why not pay our Facebook page a visit and join in the banter there. Otherwise emails, calls and texts are all welcome...
Monday 17 August
I'm looking for advice in song tonight. 'Be Young, Be Foolish But Be Happy',
'Express Yourself' or 'You Can't Hurry Love' - the advice line opens at ten past 6!
Tuesday 18 August
Ace of Spaces, Diamonds Are Forever, or Hit The Road Jack? Tonight's theme is playing cards - Here's hoping for a full house!
Wednesday 19 August
We're looking for songs about rivers - 'Many Rivers To Cross' (Jimmy Cliff), 'Take Me to The River' (Talking Heads), or perhaps something by The Blue Nile.
Thursday 20 August
What do Diana Ross, Robbie Williams, Beyonce and Peter Gabriel have in common? They have all left bands to have solo careers. The art of going it alone - tonight on Get It On.

I've given up complaining about repeat themes (even though there are many that have been suggested here and elsewhere that have never been used).
What I think we should do though is have the playlists up from the previous time(s) we've had the theme and then avoid requesting / playing the same songs. Just to keep it interesting.

Eurythmics "Missionary Man" as in "don't mess with a missionary man"
Eurythmics at the SECC was the first gig I ever went to- my trendy aunt took me and had copied all her Eurythmics albums onto tapes for me so I knew all the songs. However she omitted "Missionary Man" in case my very religious parents got upset! This was the song they opened with and I was most upset it was the only one I didn;t kow the words to- I know all the words now!!

Anyway, one suggestion for Monday's advice night is Roachford "Don't Make me Love You" One of the most underrated British artists who made many a good track apart from Cuddly Toy.

Can we expect contributions from R L Boyneside and Johnny Boynette? Perhaps a cameo from Audrey Hepboyne?

Do Right By Your Woman - Bad Company, you can't really get much better advice if you want to keep yer bird and it should really apply in reverse as well!
This Could Be the Last Time - Rolling Stones, well the title is more of a threat really, but the advice is right there in the lyrics. The scary thing is that you can well imagine Mick carrying out this conversation in real life!

Important midge advice
Always remember that only the female midgies bite. If you stay away from the females you'll be perfectly alright.

I remember her singing this ending in a ´óÏó´«Ã½ programme called 'The Songwriters Circle' about 10 or 15 years ago. Twas a great series which also featured John Martyn and Neil Finn amongst others. Gretchen Peters was on the same programme and I always remember her face lighting up when Joan started playing Diamonds and Rust.
Loved this from Wikipedia...
Although Dylan is not specifically named in the song, Baez has admitted in her memoir as well as in a number of interviews that he is the inspiration for the song.
The following excerpt shows Baez's rendition of this conversation between her and Dylan:
"You gonna sing that song about robin's eggs and diamonds?" Bob had asked me on the first day of rehearsals.
"Which one?"
"You know, that one about blue eyes and diamonds..."
"Oh", I said, "you must mean 'Diamonds And Rust', the song I wrote for my husband, David. I wrote it while he was in prison."
"For your husband?" Bob said.
"Yeah. Who did you think it was about?" I stonewalled.
"Oh, hey, what the **** do I know?"
"Never mind. Yeah, I'll sing it, if you like."

Loads of requests for The River by Mr Springsteen - not surprising since it's an absolute classic. I'll buck the trend by asking for The River by King Trigger. A catchy little number from the early 80's & about the only song I can think of that actually mentions a dug-out canoe.
If you do decide to play Wink Martindale's Deck of Cards at least have the decency to provide a Public Service Announcement so we can switch off for a couple of minutes.
