A song that changed your life
Thanks for all the advice about my desk share. It turns out he's called Jim and he has now cleared some space for me. I now have a shelf. Thanks Jim.
New show starts Monday and meetings all day doing what meetings do best. One feature we'd like to do involves you sending me an email with (as you might have guessed) a song that changed your life. In any way. We'd need the story, the song and your phone number.
It might be a relationship, a job, a gig, anything that has a cracking tale attached.
The email is [email protected] and you'd be telling your story on air at 6.40. But timings may alter...
Look forward to hearing from you.
And it's true about my ears.

What if we fly by Chely Wright.
It was playing on the radio the day after I fell in Love with my now husband Norman. He phoned me and said "Are you listening to this".
it made me cry, and he was absolutely right.. we did fly!!

Glad you've managed to get a bit more space - one shelf doesn't sound very much though!
Looking forward to hearing you next Monday.
