Gutted.

Selfish sentiment I know - but it's how I feel anyway. Strangely I never really knew his music programmes, although I have always known about them. But I get the gist that he was all about good eclecticism in music, something he later touched me with in his Radio 4 programme "Home Truths" - which I think was all about good eclecticism in peoples lives.

By good I mean that sometimes I hated all the stories on the programme - but it was worth listening to just in case something brilliant came up, making me appreciate my small mindedness on occasions. I think that must be what he did with music too judging by what people have told me.

I am very sad that I will not hear his dulcet tones on saturday mornings again. My heart goes out to his family who must be devastated. I hope that when I get to the pearly gates myself, it's ................... "AT NINE" :-)

Cheers
