Updated from its first broadcast with some new tracks and better linking. I liked it, but I’m a bit biased. A very wide selection of genres and styles, yes, a smörgåsbord for breakfast. I got Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast out of the way in the preshow, which was padded out with stuff from the H section of the stash, Hayseed Dixie and Huey Lewis and the News.
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 Forward 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 on songs from the show, plus a couple of ones that didn’t quite make it.
