Congratulations, John. Very well deserved. Your radio show is a source of joy in a mad world. Great music and your warm, friendly voice. Your show introduced me to A Lazarus Soul @alazarussoul.bsky.social. For that alone, I will be forever grateful. Best wishes to you.

I wonder if he usually wrote on graph paper. I read someone observed him watching a film he was asked to score. They said he had a big writing pad that he was writing lots of musical ideas on, while watching the film. They said it was an unusual type of writing pad, but I can't recall the details.

Thanks for sharing this. I watched the full clip and the second song was new to me, Man To Child. Beautiful song with wonderful guitar playing.

I look forward to the day that Sophie decides to step onto the beach itself. The sea might seem a bit scary and noisy, but I feel sure she will get there one day. If not this year, then next year. Best wishes to you all.

I listened live to the first 20 minutes and really enjoyed the music. It looks like the show will be uploaded soon, so we can listen at leisure :)

Did the live feed ever come back on for Scissor Sisters? I switched over to watch Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts, who were brilliant. I will watch the Scissor Sisters set tomorrow.

I just finished watched this amazing programme made in 1965, where Alfred Hitchcock pays tribute to the documentary pioneer #JohnGrierson.

It can be seen in the UK via Sky Arts and Now TV. I would highly recommend it.

It's called HITCHCOCK ON GRIERSON.
