I prefer a fast track to start me off, but if something I really like comes on I get out there. I always pretend to myself that no one can see me. That way I don't worry what I look like.

Cheers Mike, all is now okay and I can hear it. Nice to hear the tracks I missed on th original broadcast, and also thanks to Hippo for posting it.

I have been trying to listen to the Derek Pearson on BCB Part 1 - 60 mins in the Sounds section but am getting nothing. Tried clicking away and nothing happens. Is there a problem with the streaming or is it me? Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question. Hope someone can help. It is not my sound card as I've just checked that I could play a Real Audio file.

One of the best things I've heard recently as there were a lot of stuff that was new to me. If you can put the programme up here that would be great. I noted down the tracks played from when I started listening. major lance - Without a doubt carl hall - What about you bobby wilburn i'm a dreamer johnny gilliam - Roomful of tears larry laster willie kendricks butlers - Laugh laugh little gi gi - I volunteer mr caldwell - Love bandit gene middleton - You can get it now zz hill - Make me yours clay hunt Since I lost you magnificent 7 - Never will I make my baby cry milt grayson - Your old standby mellow fellows - My baby needs me tommy soul - I'll be right here charades - You're with me all the way sharen clarke - A product of time carl hall - Mean it baby stormy - I won't stop to cry skip jackson - I'm on to you bobby taylor- There are roses somewhere I'm afraid I seem to have missed a couple. I hope it becomes a regular programme.

I Believe In Miracles is a great track in my opinion. It was played at Soul In The City, which is primarily a Northern night, when it was at the Old Blue Last pub near Old Street. I believe Rob Messer played it. But of course there wasn't a dance floor there. How do people on here feel about playing records like this at Northen nights?

Haven't bought them yet, but I fancy the 3 UK Sue Story albums that have come out recently. I know they are a mix of blues, R&B, rock'n'roll and soul, but for an old ex-mod like myself they are a great collection.

Thanks for posting your playlist Gene, Lesley and I really enjoyed it, actually we enjoyed the whole evening at Boogaloo, thanks to Michelle and Rob Messer as well. Sorry we had to go before the last DJ took over. Which was the R&B one you played Gene, I hadn't heard it before but it was really good?

The Walk by Jimmy McCracklin was issued in about 1958 on US Chess, on UK London, I imagine on both 45 and 78. It was played on BBC's 6.5 Special. In 1964 it was played in London "Mod" clubs, and on the dance spot on Ready Steady Go. It was re-issued on an EP, R&B Showcase on Pye International. In my opinion a great track that I would love to hear played now.
