092R Steely Dan, part 1
A show where I was hard put to reduce the content to just two hours, being a big fan of this band and their two headline artists, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. A set of my favourite tracks for the most part, and it did go down quite well with the audience too.
The postshow set finished with Larry Carlton’s Room 335, a composition inspired by Jay Graydon’s solo on Peg and using the song’s chord sequence.
Steely Dan, part 1
This week, we will have a look at Steely Dan’s first outings and into the late 1970s. Hence “part 1,” part 2 to follow in a fortnight.

223 Kings
To tie in with the only Coronation of a British monarch that most of us can remember, our subject was Kings with a side serving of royalty and a couple of cheeky Charlies.
Kings
In the aftermath of the first coronation in the British Isles in over seventy years, this week’s topic will be, obviously, Kings.

090R Rarities and What-ifs 7
A seventh collection of rare tracks, not often given radio play, and tracks with a story behind them. An enthusiastic audience joined us on the plaza and the banter flowed freely.
Preshow and postshow from Mal’s stash, starting in the ‘A’s and getting into the ‘B’s.
Rarities and What-Ifs, part 7
This week’s show is another collection of songs rarely heard on the airwaves, and those with a bit of a story behind them. What if…?

091R Earth Day 2023
A show for Earth Day which was celebrated just one day previously. A set of tracks, some warning of the consequences of ignoring our effect on the Earth, some celebrating the Earth and its wonders and some setting our place in the universe. One of our best shows, I think, but then I had a bit to do with it.
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.
