Earth Day
This Saturday is Earth Day, so we think it fitting that we should celebrate Earth in our show this week.

089R Cat Stevens
Even though I say it myself, a fine show covering a long, varied and illustrious career, starting as a pop singer, changing to folk-rock, but with some individual attributes. Always a pleasure to listen to, or at least I think so.
As promised, I’ve linked to a fansite page with the translation of the Latin lyrics of O Caritas, and include the Greek text, a translation and a transliteration for the Greek verse of Rubylove. Though Cat Stevens has Greek ancestry, he is a Londoner born and bred and lead a cosmopolitan life, He no doubt picked up some Greek from his father, and may have attended Greek Orthodox church with him.
Latin lyrics and translation by Michael R Valenzuela for O Caritas here, along with some notes
Rubylove lyrics in Greek, with a transliteration for those who don’t read Greek text (like me) and an English translation
Ruby γλυκιά
Έλα ξανά,
Έλα ξανά κοντά μου
Έλα πρωί, με την αυγή
Χρυσή σαν ηλιαχτίδα
Ruby μου μικρή
Ruby glikya
Ela xana,
Ela xana konta mou
Ela proi, me tin avgy
Xrisi san iliaktida
Ruby mou mikri
Sweet Ruby
Come by once more
Come once more close to me
Come by at dawn
Golden like a ray of sun
My little Ruby
Cat Stevens
This week, we will have a good look at the various phases of the career of Cat Stevens—not always straightforward, but always fascinating.

200R Classical Collection
A classical show on the occasion of Easter Sunday, expecting a reduced audience, but attracting 29 at one point 🙂 Love our audience.

106R Pink Floyd IV
The final and concluding part of the History, brought closer to the previous parts than before so you can remember what’s gone before.
A faithful audience of up to 15 stayed the course and were rewarded with Hey Hey Rise Up, the song recorded to support the Ukrainian Relief Fund.
The History of Pink Floyd, pt. IV
This week’s showing will be the grand finale of our history of Pink Floyd, covering the time from The Final Cut to the present day.

222 World Music – Roots Music
A nicely varied collection covering East, West, North and South and featuring original artists and music from their localities, some traditional, some incorporating modern updates. Went down well with the cavern audience, and listener numbers were up there with our best, 38 at one point and over 30 the whole way through.
The show gave the presenters many more pronunciation challenges than usual, but the team rose to the task, and I don’t think we called anyone a jam doughnut. As promised, here’s the playlist with all the names spelled as they appeared on the packaging, which has meant some cajoling of WordPress to get the right diacratic symbols.
I did not speak for this show, as I am still recovering from a bad cold, liable to cough or sneeze without warning and generally sound like a badly-maintained door.
World Music
This week, we are going to take a look at what people around the world experience as contemporary music, with examples from all parts of Africa, Asia, the Americas as well as Europe.
And a reminder to our north American listeners, the time shift will have happened in Europe when this show airs, so times are back to normal for you, too!

088R Hook, Line and Sinker
A second selection of tracks with memorable musical hooks, opening phrases that grab your attention and make you want to Turn It Up.
Peaked at 21 listeners, perhaps affected by it being Mother’s Day in the UK – but nowhere else – and the time change for US listeners caused by Europe and the UK having not gone to DST while the US has. One of these days we’ll stop doing this.
