If you did, you'd probably catch up with a few of BBM's chosen titbits!
Fortunately I pedal off after the 9 o'clock transition into some sort of adult programming...
The attempts to grapple with Petroc's Sugar Puffs are prompted simply by a desire to have a bit of music around during the morning routine. Switching to a recorded TTN (or this month, the Heffer Saturday afternoon prog) is an easy alternative.
Well , don't we all.
But well meant advice, I'm sure !
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Well, bouquets as well as brickbats. Fair play to SM-P this morning. A caller complained how little Delius was played and asked SM-P to play "anything" by Delius. Expecting the inevitable La Calinda or First Cuckoo how delightful to hear Susan Britton's magical evocation of A Late Lark.
Do R3 presenters have any training in presentation and enunciation? This morning, SM-P played the waltz from Shos' 2nd jazz suite for Jazz Band but gabbled out the title such that Lady V thought it was a "sarabande" and expressed surprise at this unknown neo-classical expression of S's sensibility!

They should have training in the use of silence! I heard a bit of "the show" this morning and we heard (in my opinion) the iconic recording by Dame Myra Hess of JSB's 'Jesu Joy' and without any space at the finish it ran into some marimba music! Dreadful! And also SMP dosn't give the poor news readers a chance to finish, coming in with the weather. Why can't the news readers give the weather as well? I'm being Mr Grumpy!!!! Andy

I confess to not understanding the rationale behind musical selections. The idea of having sopranos warbling raucously, or Wagnerian overtures blaring at 6:45 a.m. is not my idea of a gentle introduction to the day. Tis the musical equivalent of cold showers.

Even as a woman I can't stand shrill sopranos or straining tenors [for the high notes ] in the morning.
Piano solo or chamber music is my choice, to ease me into the day. I'm afraid I usually switch to CFM or R4,or OFF.

Totally agreed....
