The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

You know what it's like having to 'explain' a joke, Caliban?

Nevertheless - would someone give this their best shot, please!

[Serial_Apologist]

I think it's a pretend joke. and someone is playing games so that anybody claiming to understand it will be caught out!

Our new Great Man - Tree Lawn - seems, after I have had a week away, to have gone all poetic - is this new .....??

Is that what it is? I had a (very belated) listening report yesterday which several times mention [Poetry voice] - I wondered why.

[antongould]

I know it's early in the morning and only Rumpole and the larks are about but did Tree Lawn just say we have Skellers all next week?

[AndyJW]

According to the Radio Times, yes!

[antongould]

Even more reliable than Rumpole -most excellent .....

Meanwhile, back to Breakfast: a quick shufti at the playlist shows quite a respectable choice? Only Rhapsody in Blue could be called a Breakfast regular.

.... and Tree Lawn - the poor man's Larkin - did say he played it because of the magnificence of the performance ....... Only for someone to tweet or whatever (I know you love them ff) that Previn had missed out the hard bits

Just posted on Facebook that if we're supposed to be comparing versions, put it on BaL and do it properly. Then a respite of a few months on Breakfast would perhaps be beneficial.

And why would anyone be interested in why a piece of choral music is important to a complete stranger? Or that there is a good concert going on in Lewes - unless there's anyone listening who happens to live in or near Lewes? This is the 'breakfasty' part of Breakfast which can at best only be 'tolerable' and at worst 'intolerable'.

Dunno - but Pet Shop in Hornsey, surely?...

Why does Chip Shop Forlornly come in for such disdain, on here?

He has his supporters as well as detractors. Unlike others.

I did hear that he mispronounced something this morning, was told (by producer?) and corrected it: proper procedure.

It wasn't Tárrega by any chance was it? Acc. to the Beeb, things like this have to go all the way to the top, and all the way down again. I think the producer was bucking the system by simply telling him.
