76: Let’s Eat – Breakfast
Something close to all our hearts (well, just below in fact), food, and being the first of several, this one’s about breakfast. In the preshow we had Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast (I wanted to get that out of the way early) followed by some stuff from the H section of the stash, Hayseed Dixie and Huey Lewis.
The breakfast theme included Cyril Tawney’s Chicken on a Raft, a made-up sea shanty – Cyril served on diesel submarines – and includes some Royal Navy slang – a short glossary is included below
Chicken on a Raft = Fried Egg on fried bread
Jimmy = Jimmy-the-One = 1st lieutenant
Comic Cuts = A sailor’s personal file, record of service, misdemeanors etc.
Dabtoes = seamen (not specialist ratings), used the Foreward Mess
Dustmen = Engine Room specialist ratings (originally stokers), used the Aft Mess
middle, forenoon = watches
Whalin’ crew = Whaler’s Crew / Whaler = Ship’s boat
pusser = purser
DonnyB: Donnybristle in Fifeshire, not far from Rosyth dockyard
The postshow included some alternate takes (my, we are getting good at this) on songs from the show, plus a couple of ones that didn’t quite make it.

75 : Diamonds and Ice
The 75th show made use of the wedding-anniversary convention and had a theme of diamonds – which had to be augmented by ice (the slang term for diamonds, we are lead to believe). A very wide-ranging selection was the result of combing all our stash for suitable candidates. In the end we had enough to cover the pre- and post-show requirements as well.

Rock Humour II: Turned Up To 11!
On the 6th, at the usual time, we will present a second set of humour in Rock. EdisonRex is not currently available to do the Voodoo bits for us, so Alan will be handling the Microphone all by himself, but Malaclypse and Root Beer will be in the plaza for moral support and to possibly answer questions.
See you in the Cavern,

72 Gentle Giant
We were without Edison for this show, as he was having some well-earned time off. The show was presented by me, AlanDJ, and I nearly always remembered to shut my mic off between announcements…
We got up to 20 listeners at one point, which was better than expected given that it is the first weekend of the British school holidays and the US folks have been on holiday for a while. Thanks for listening, as always, and mention us to your friends…
Given that I was doing the broadcast all on my tod, I started the preshow early and also went on a bit longer with the postshow, moving on to game soundtrack music and then a ‘Fire’ theme.

71 No More Fillers Any More
A fine time was had with our No More Fillers Any More show on Sunday 9th July.
Preshow is still from the G section, and the postshow was the Big Hits from the albums we had featured in the show.
Fewer tracks in this show as more of them were longish album tracks, and grouped in pairs.
15 listeners max, 13 for most of the time.
The next show will be a light frolic through the 10-year career of odball prog rockers Gentle Giant.
