Late again Mayo?
Good morning to all bloggers, sorry about the tardiness. Young Chris Moyles was after my wisdom in preparation for his attempt on my record breaking 37 hour radio show from 1999. I think they are none the wiser to be honest. A lot has faded from memory but Chris played a clip of the show I did with John Peel which was just wonderful. How much radio misses him.
They seem quite anxious about the whole show but really you just turn up and do it. It'll be fine. After finishing the whole stint, I remember getting an email from a junior doctor saying well done etc and if you were on our shift, you'd have another 37 hour stint to do on Monday. Fair point I thought.
Hope the weekend was good for you and all you wanted it to be on Friday. Today's show features the rather lovely Stephen K Amos after 6. His 'Best Medicine' tour is steaming around the UK at the moment and the reviews have been really rather good.
And your help today for the songs on EINSTEIN'S birthday. It's PI day too (3.14 in American terms) so PI, MATHS and EINSTEIN should see us through.
Have a refreshing and stimulating Monday, see you after 5.

What a beautiful morning it is in these 'ere parts :) It was good to be able to run in daylight this morning. The birdies were singing a pretty little accompaniment and I can vouch for the most beautiful sunrise.
My first thought was EINSTEIN A-GO-GO by LANDSCAPE but I see it's already been suggested so I'd just like to second, third or even fourth the suggestion.
Off to find the thinking cap, back in a bit.
