Join me on Sunday afternoon at 4pm GMT on the award-winning Bay 106.4, http://www.bayfm.co.uk for our special 3-hour stroll down Memory Lane on Mother’s Day. Just go to the web page and click once on the large 'Listen Live' button, NOT the little icon at the very top of the page. This will automatically take you to the primary player. Don’t forget to turn the volume on the web page up to your desired level. We’re also available via the ShoutCast website, and the TuneIn website or phone app.
Remember, though, that if you’re within reach of the transmitter here in East Devon, you can tune into 106.4 FM to hear the programme.
This week it will be a ‘Pot Pourri’ of music from a spread of 70 years(!), with birthday tributes to Bix Beiderbecke, Lawrence Welk, Jessie Matthews, Gordon MacRae, Tessie O’Shea, Neil Sedaka, Lita Roza and Eddie Calvert, amongst several others, (18 altogether,) plus requests and dedications from you, the listeners, including a little “modern nostalgia,” culminating in a moving tribute to Mothers everywhere. Ruby will be there for Eddie Calvert with a song from 1960 - no more clues!
This is the ONLY programme in Devon, and one of the few left in the whole country, to provide such a mix of this genre of music!
Hopefully I'll be able to bring back some memories for you, and I'll be giving out gold stars if you remember some of these singers before I tell you who they are. In addition I'll also introduce you to some singers whom you've either forgotten or maybe missed altogether first time around.
Three hours of our sort of music, around 40 songs, without too much chat.
