Stop. The slow fellas Christmas. Just like. He's a. Good. Little. Story . Broke. And sooner. I knew someone who was so affected by that song that can go version actually rather than that one by a girl called Eddie that every time it came on the radio she had to leave the room otherwise she burst into tears before all that we had done Hicks and his whole licks and a bit of western swing for you and cello. And Guess. It's easy to. Be to. Be to poll to. Be. Told be to. Be to. Eat you know luck to eat to. Eat to. Be to. Be told to. Be to. Be to. Eat to. Eat you were going to be happy to. Eat it. You. Easy going and how busy. Beats it. Easy to. Beat you. To. Beat you. With the key to. The pole to pole to. Beat to bolt. To. Easy. To. Easy. 7 to. Beat to. Beat you when he watched the way to happy to be to. You. A. Lady Smith black. We're doing. Ok. Thank. You. Kate. I. Think it's about. The saying about us no doubt Yes that's what it was just a child and bootylicious. All music is yeah it's good to play also different stuff as well some might be new to you maybe unfamiliar but vaguely familiar maybe some maybe really really familiar somehow you've made love and you my son you think well fair enough or you may come around to later has a whole lot about the program as much music as. Of all different types Maggie quick I don't think a big fan of Christmas records but she does like this one Stevie Wonder what Christmas means to me. Especially for Maggie Quinn who. Really keen on Christmas records but like that one there's always one out there not he Green who doesn't like dresses like us there are people out there who don't like Christmas records maybe just not the right ones yet there's a thought because Maggie quids also a big fan of reggae wouldn't mind a reggae Christmas track. Playing already actually got one coming up before the end of the program and next week it could be all Christmas music of all different sorts so listen out for that because hopefully by the 21st you'll be beginning to get just hopefully it from all that panic mode because you have done all the things you probably should have done by about the 10th. Which means you have done them already have you so get on to it I'll give you a heads up here I'm nothing but helpful certainly if you'd like a request on the program Alex Lestat b.b.c. Dot co dot u.k. That is my email address at Alex the dark lord that's the Twitter Alex Lester the best time of the day show Facebook and by post Alex Lester the b.b.c. At the mail box in Birmingham have a think about some of the songs you like to hear get in touch I'd love to hear from you. Also what I do I forgot the Facebook last Saturday sorry about that. Was it the 74 corridor targets by so quickly I put up a list usually of some of the just some of the artists I'll be featured on the programme on Twitter and on Facebook on a Saturday afternoon early evening just as a sort of reminder and a nudge to ensure that you. Well. Listen to the whole program from the start at 10 o'clock. Jerry Reed and Eastbound and Down were Jesse featured in a series called My Name Is Earl and he was so that I was I really enjoyed that show there was a great series about a man and karma who's involved in an accident it was a terrible human being and so therefore decided with the money that he was awarded for the acts of Hugo paid back all the people he wronged in the past and you know the fun there was a great music in there as well now Alex left a friend of the star was I'll tell you the tale from Paul Jones. a bad bad boy right Alex that offender stuff. We know each other vaguely cross paths of crossed several times over the years and the other week my stepson is at university and he's doing a course in geography it is his final year this year and so for his thesis is I don't fully understand the 1st thesis he's actually part of it is talking about the migration of the black population from. Southern States of America to the north Ok seen through the lens of Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters and the blues and thought you were involved in this stuff sort of audio so yeah can you help give you my 6 Perth berthing Erie to talk to somebody really knows what they're talking about so I phoned up Paul Jones and he got back to me and frankly he could not have been more helpful. So I'm expecting my stepson to get a 1st other was asking him some hard questions. We do love God for music and I hope you do I certainly do I think is marvelous the sensational nightingales and will he welcome me there right back to your question John McKay Beatriz be a regular corresponds to the program and every single missive gratefully received did dog Lord yes that is I would you consider playing in this pity by George Harrison on a Saturday night is along the track this actually and because we're here to play all sorts of music we can cope with longer tracks. As great as his 7 minutes 15 seconds of pure joy Well of course the readout on my computer here John. Being on the sold Zeus's is 7 minutes and 13 seconds of pure joy. Thought went to the very very end 177 minutes say 13 or as John McCain pointed out 715 of pure joy so wonderful try that anyway thank you John George Harrison isn't it a pity now Christmas songs here's a new one you've been called cold from about from the seventy's late seventy's had a hit with the maybe tomorrow it will lead back with the found member Chris pope in charge Chris pope of the chords and this one come on it's Christmas Day. From the Colts that's new for this year come on it's Christmas day life sleety field I mean that but maybe it does to you will maybe not be a joy to any. It is nice the fact that there are new Christmas songs coming out all the time because otherwise we'd be saddled with the same ones year aid year out at the radio tends to play the mainstream media tends to play that's why we like to March the b. To a different drum on this program plays like a different ones as well as the favorites of course. We trumpeted as populist as well as we can as well as bring us stuff that you may not have heard before like this from Bob we'll. Go back to Alabama man when the my dear old men try and take their good good name and they learn what I like about that I get out there you won't make no money then you'll know the Never use your face. The day that are lying about. The ground. That. He's got bank grip. You're in your. Go bury Gerald and that's what I like about the. Whole red herring hair Hardpan was not a girl down in New Orleans then that's what I like about my now tell. Them. Down world again grow cold down whether you walk alone in you all go in with that brother girl that's what I like about. Laid down their god you want it when they know that they know. Here you go and put it there do. You. Have. Your job or you act like you don't know the law don't you shake your head and have. To. Go tell me them those. Who are. Good who are. What I like about. Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys and that's what I like about the South I've got another version of that and I think you did it in come to me in the 2nd place on the program before if I kept notes of it a look back but I'm not organized enough for that Bob Wills is Texas Playboys I said earlier in the program there's a wonderful documentary series by Ken Burns an American documentary filmmaker about country music going on it so on b.b.c. For the moment I've watched the 1st 4 episodes of Bob Wills is featured in one of those smiles is fascinating stuff the music's great and the insights a marvelous as well because all of the great American troop contributing talking about their idols and this archive footage and photographs and all that is also just terrific terrific music so if you haven't seen it yet I do recommend. The one. Strange. Older. People told 2. Me. From the very 1st time I heard the last totally smitten with that as a song is actually modest Sadly her life ended prematurely due to drugs which is a terrible terrible shame the late Judy sil Jesus was a cross Mica look along the shelves the other day and I came across this is a bit of a curiosity but we know that and I played you many examples of the last few years you take a famous artist or famous album or whatever and you get somebody else to cover it in a different musical style. Hello to the. Live. Live That's rigorously like that is so now I'm cold say in. Here a rock version of the music a set Frank Sinatra that late Johnny lane and Richie Kotzen Jenny lames back a warrant you may remember at the Richie Kotzen has been in the guitar stores and poison I seem to recall their version of that's life having talked about a rock tribute to Frank Sinatra playing the madam self. Oh are. You. They were. Going to. 3 lead. That would go yes very straight I thought that restraint version there especially to dealing with something like that you can't really sort of jazz it up too much all that again because you can Frank Sinatra and his version of a couple of the faithful really I suppose you know in the true traditions of the carol service we should finish right now but we'll play it one more before we're done tonight because that's how I see drummer a school was great as he had school carol service and he got to a couple of the faithful because you knew you could go to that. This is why I didn't vicar in the end and I chose this as a when I fell into this. Profession I did it right. Next week by the way the program is the 21st of December and it's the last one before the big day I thought we just have nothing but Christmas music were also the familiar favorites and Familia and favorite songs performed by artists you may not have heard of it said it's just going to be a great big mess of festive choose a gloating more of your request as well so I hope you'll join me for that if you've not had requests played on the program Up to now well make 2020 the year that you get one played Alex dot Lester at b.b.c.
