I am too mean and curmudgeonly to buy RT, so I keep missing things like this as my free listings thingies all print radio programs in a typeface too small for my deteriorating eyesight to encompass. I shall be there, cassettes ready, to record the events for posteriors. Thanks again, Steve. |

23 May 01 - 04:11 AM (#468479) Subject: RE: Goons Night on BBC Radio 2 29/5/01 From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Herself has promised me she'll record this for me next Tuesday evening. It'll take about 3 tapes. I don't have tape-to-tape dub capacity at the moment so I'm not the best person to do dupes. BUT IF no-one else does it IF she remembers/stays awake to turn the tapes over IF I can get a friend to dupe for me (he doesn't share my musical taste and bravely did some tapes for me in the past despite this!) I will do so. THEN I'll tell those who don't already have my E-mail what it is (can't PM as I remain cookie-less GUEST here at work) and we'll work something out. Perhaps sending tapes to one person in Canada/US/Australia to take orders from the others? I wouldn't want anything back, just send a bung to Mudcat instead. RtS (keep up lad) |
