The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

Whatever it was it does not seem to be on the playlist so I having missed it I haven’t a clue what it was!

I found it at 1'45" on the Sounds file: 'Rhythm on the Rails'. (And caught Petroc saying that Williams had scored film music for Gaumont.)

His 'Dream of Olwen' was very popular for a long time. His Wiki entry is very informative and might jog a few memories.

It was a rather strange version of the Dvorak - and maybe others will disagree but I thought the Aurora Orchestra’s playing of the finale of Mozart’s Jupiter was rushed and badly played!

I tend to agree with you cloughers but Alkers liked it ........... !!!!!!

I've changed my radio alarm settings so that on Sunday to Friday it wakes me at 8.00 a.m., but at 9.00 a.m. on Saturdays. Much the best way for a contented existence.

Happy St Pirans Day to all from the Duchy. Good to see that Georgia played suitable music for the day.

What was that? Serge Gainsbourg, Le poinçonneur des lilas (Georgia's Classical Picks)?

That was not the top of my list. Not sure that it was ever sung in Cornish Pubs but I suppose St Piran is pushing up the lilacs nowadays!

... google translate doesn't seem to offer Cornish (for shame!) - it offers the following for the Welsh of the refrain -


Rwy'n gwneud tyllau, tyllau bach, mwy o dyllau bach
Tyllau bach, tyllau bach, tyllau bach bob amser
Tyllau ail ddosbarth
Tyllau o'r radd flaenaf
Rwy'n gwneud tyllau, tyllau bach, mwy o dyllau bach
Tyllau bach, tyllau bach, tyllau bach bob amser
Tyllau bach, tyllau bach
Tyllau bach, tyllau bach

not sure if that might work?

The brief news half-hourly summaries have been replaced with several minutes of BBC news format - different readers, and use of our 'xyz correspondent' soundbite slots - at 8am and 1pm - I suspect there is an earlier one but I can't recall hearing it. Is this a permanent change does anyone know? Its timing meant that I thought it was something to do with seasonal holiday arrangements to begin with but now I'm not so sure. It could be argued that this arrangement gives more space for music and in theory that might be the case, except that it just seems to have 'freed up' space to put in more adverts at random times. I used to be able to get ready with the mute button as they were generally linked to the news summary slot, but now the irritations hit any time. I am doubtless in a minority(beyond that of being a R3 listener) in disliking the new set-up, and I know it is a minor thing - but it's another irritation that I don't want. At the moment I haven't worked out how long the news slot is so muting is trial and error. In time perhaps I'll get as accurate as I usually manage to be with the adverts!

Petroc has just said, with evident pleasure, that ‘rumour has it’ that R3’s own newsreaders will be back from Easter.

Wow, it must be safe for them to be allowed out now.


Possibly.

To say nothing of newsreaders who require additional training in news reading skills.
