Originally posted by Andrew Slater View PostI suppose it explains why Georgia Mann announced it as Nielsen (and corrected herself afterwards) - the announcers must be reading their script from the same source as the playlists.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Originally posted by french frank View PostThe playlist can't make up its mind whose Karelia Suite - Ballade, op 11 was played. When I first looked it said Carl Nielsen, Ballade from Karelia Suite, Op. 11. Just googling to find out what Nielsen's op 11 was (Humoreske-Bagateller for solo piano). Back to check the playlist and it was Sibelius's Karelia Suite, for orchestra. Must have made a mistake - but I had the old tab still open. Definitely said Nielsen. Back to check a third time. No, composer was the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. Wait a few minutes and check again. Definitely Sibelius. They all look a bit like Carl Nielsen, though.

Norman Lumsden, who was a member of the English Opera Group and the original Quince in Britten's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', was born 102 years ago today. But, as Martin Handley reminded us, he became much more famous years later as 'J R Hartley' in the Yellow Pages TV commercial. What more fitting way to mark his birthday than with Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong singing 'Gone Fishin'?
(It's dead educational, is 'Breakfast'!)

Originally posted by cloughie View PostI have nothing against Bing and Louis - great duo, good song but he could of course have stuck to something classical and played 'Old Joe has gone fishing' from Peter Grimes!
