        6 Music's 'The First time with....' is a bit hit-and-miss depending on the subject. This coming Sunday it'll be a hit, I reckon, with Mavis Staples being interviewed by the nice Matt Everett about her musical influences.
        Mavis talks to Matt about the first key musical moments in her life and career to date.

          Well worth a listen, I reckon, with lots to enjoy, including this piece of delight from 'The Last Waltz'.

            The Genius of Bert Jansch on BBC4 a bit after bedtime - just look at that playlist attached. (except for the Martin Simpson track, Global)
            Interviews, archive footage and performances celebrating the songs of Bert Jansch.

              Meanwhile, over on Radio 3 (they should have a forum) the excellent Kate Molleson presents Music Matters, this weeks subject :
              Music and Language in the South East
              In a continuing series about music and language around the British Isles, Kate is in the South East to meet the Kent-based folk singer Chris Wood, and explores how the region's English-speaking Romany communities are exchanging words and songs with European Roma migrants.

              Kate also meets the American trumpeter, band leader, composer and educator Wynton Marsalis, who has been in London this month for concerts with his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
              Kate Molleson explores connections between music and language in the South East.

                I chanced on a very enjoyable programme last night about Alan Smethurst, The Singing Postman, the man who for one brief period in the early 60s outsold the Beatles and the Stones. DJ Taylor, brought up in Norfolk, told Smethurst's tale of triumph and tragedy and I got to find out that 'Have You Got A Loight Boy' wasn't his only song, and that his influences came from far and wide.

                Strangely enjoyable!

                  Radio 4's Great Lives next Tuesday afternoon features the great life of Don van Vliet. Vic Reeves is the Captain's advocate. I wonder what stance Matthew Parris will take ?

                    Vic'll have Matthew performing Bat Chain Puller by the time the final credits come along, zola. I look forward to that one. Thanks.

                      'Trouble No More', a film in the Arena strand about Bob in his born-again years showing this evening on BBC4.
                      A Bob Dylan performance of songs expressing his new-found Christianity in the late 70s.

                        Thank you John. Jo mentioned the programme this afternoon. It's essential viewing for me. That is Jo as in Jo Good, 63, ex Crossroads, slightly theatrical, contemplative, error prone, unreliable in musical taste and a genuine good laugh. She manages to have a warm place in my affections when everyone else in lighter radio no longer does. I like her spirit. Anyhow, she had her house band in today. I have for many years labelled them as hackneyed. When they came up with Chaplin's "Smile", I though "oh no, here we go again". But they got it spot on in a British Pokey Lafarge sort of way. A good arrangement. It was not so much the ukulele as the Italian woman on the accordion. I will post a link as soon as it is available:

                          I am experiencing sporadic technical difficulties with the forum.

                          Don't know if anyone else has been having these?

                              Jo sounds like a gas, Lat, unreliable music tastes notwithstanding. I pride myself on unreliability, though I still don't quite manage to outfox the algorithms.

                                So I paid a really nice guy to film this but from here on...its down to me. Weekly episodes from my life...enjoy! And SUBSCRIBE or I'll look even more foolish.
