15 - Episode 0015

OTB 0015 (1CD) Sunday 4 May 1986, 1-2pm No guests; just answering listeners’ questions and playing a few records. I say that I’ve got over 200 questions so that’s good going, but it shows that many listeners don’t buy music books, not even UK Hit Singles. I should have answered more as I only took about 10. Played a topical song by Tom Paxton (‘We Can Have the Olympics over at Our House’), a solo track (‘Turning of the Wheel’) from Chuck McDermott who had been with John Stewart at Radio Merseyside’s fine concert, and a comedy sketch from Marty Feldman and Tim Brooke-Taylor, ‘Funny He Never Married’, which would be politically incorrect these days. I recall seeing Jack Jones at the Liverpool Empire and he asked where his girlfriend, Susan George’s parents were. “Here we are,” they said from way back in the theatre. “Couldn’t they have found you better seats,” he asked. “Listen, mate, we paid for our seats,” said some wag at the front. So many people have left Genesis that they could be renamed Exodus: not a bad joke. No show on 11 May 1986 as Liverpool were being paraded around the city having beaten Everton 3-1 in the Cup Final.
