    Not one of the Clemency Burton- variety, I trust?

      Or Shepherd's Hey. Or Hey Jude. Or even Hey on Why. It would be good to witness this particular Hey wane, though...

          The General's Daughter and the Squire now followed by a musical version of Andy Pandy. Nevermore as far as R3 in daytime is concerned.

              Just tuned to R3 for the first time in a while (since the BaL on DSCH 11, I think) just to see if the evening concert appealed.

              I now feel a bit of a fraud contributing to this forum, as I no longer think of myself as a Radio 3 listener: a Radio 3 avoider, more like.
              Perhaps I should become an Absent Friend, or do we need a new category of Occasional Visitor, a role I can adopt if I get the urge to make a contribution in future?

                Yes, Hey Jude, more likely, as in the Patron Saint of Lost Causes Jude where 'Clemmie' is concerned IMO. Could she be replaced by an Amazon-robot making sure that every other 'track' she gives us her name, the platform, the programme, the ways you can replay it?

                It's coming, by jiminy cricket, it's coming.......

                    That would be sad. I haven't been a Radio 3 listener since the programmes I used to enjoy were dropped or changed beyond recognition. Listening now makes me feel like an eavesdropper on other people's conversation.
                    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.

                      It would indeed. If everybody stopped contributing posts here on the grounds that they didn't listen to R3, the Forum community would get considerably smaller! I think (judging by the majority of posts) few of us listen to huge swathes of R3 content, and tune in instead to our favourite programmes - or (as in my case) rarely "Tune in" at all, but select from i-Player "listings".

                      As I see it, R3 content (and malcontent) should be the basis of the majority of topics started here, but there's no reason why ideas raised in Threads cannot inspire contributions from Forumistas who haven't heard the programmes that sparked off the Threads. And there are several regular Threads totally disconnected with R3 - it's a Forum for discussion of topics that were and either still are or still should be featured on R3, and therefore of interest to listeners to an idealised concept of R3.

                        True. And thanks for the sentiment.
                        I shall continue to dabble, but it is more likely to be as the occasional (so less frequent) visitor.
                        And of course you are right, ferney; there are plenty of threads that still appeal and are of no direct R3 connection anyway: ts's beautiful beaches, bargains, musical questions and answers, alphabet associations, and even the round ball game (to make sure that Wolves are correctly credited!). And what would life be like if I didn't know the latest IT trauma that Dave2002 has found himself in?

                          Pleased to see you will stay amongst us ..... I think, as always, ff and ferney have said it all and said it right .... not often in this life "management" does that ....

                            I wonder if he's a non-reader like his Dad.
