Maybe your eager waves met halfway with the radiowaves and made that possible to happen.<br />What a very interesting video you got there!.... hahahahahhah!jach victorhttp://jachv.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466669636390432992.post-12652502738593955342010-03-21T01:01:31.000+00:002010-03-21T01:01:31.000+00:00You won't believe this...

I turned on the radio last night, and they were re-playing an old programme by Charlie Gillett... this programme!!! in which he was talking to Manu Chao. Oh, and guess what point in the show I happened to tune in at? About 20 seconds before the clip I posted above started. How about that for coincidences.<br /><br />Manu Chao was saying how his English teachers were Chuck Berry & Lou Reed, because he wanted to know what they were singing, and then he sang his song about Bob Marley.okei jamintoohttp://jamintoo.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466669636390432992.post-78299756423525606222010-03-20T01:09:00.000+00:002010-03-20T01:09:00.000+00:00Wow, dude!

What they don't say anywhere, but I believe to be the case, is that he was also the inventor of radio ping-pong where he and his guest would take turns choosing records to play, often which the other might never had heard before. So the guest artist would bring along a pile of records of musicians who had been an influence or admiration, maybe describe a little bit about it, and for each record Charlie Gillett would come up with a record in reply which it reminded him of, or which he wanted to share, which was connected in some way. It made for a very entertaining and educational game for both him and his guest, and of course fascinating for the audience to learn more about world music. You might have also noticed me playing that game myself here on Multiply! ;^)okei jamintoohttp://jamintoo.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466669636390432992.post-8049702826206890492010-03-19T08:00:43.000+00:002010-03-19T08:00:43.000+00:00May this wonderful soul rest in peace... in God...May this wonderful soul rest in peace... in God's place...jach victorhttp://jachv.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466669636390432992.post-39972345147336011202010-03-18T11:06:36.000+00:002010-03-18T11:06:36.000+00:00Tributes can be found here...
