Just wish there was a Doc who could take me back to those Days. I's the national radio over here. I worked with Dave in Luxembourg during the mid-80s. Beautiful memories of the long gone past with RTL. That night we went to the Blow Up Club in the center of Luxembourg. Lived in Jedburgh, Scotland, in 50's and 60's had several old radios and then in 1967 a Hacker Sovereign.

Dear sir: I remember a late night programme on the radio in 1980 called "Music your Mother wouldn't like". 231.
