THE GERIATRIC DJ NEEDS YOUR LOVE

3.49am - I was supposed to be in the studio to do a two hour pre-record ahead of going to the car boot sale.

I OVER SLEPT !

Fortunately it was a pre-record which can be done another time. I am, however, going to drive up to the studio to sort a few bits for the toilet twining project then I'll

come back, write a bit more for the blog then go to the boot sale.

4.47am and I am back from the studio. I am so warmed by the love and support my fellow radio presenters are giving to the Toilet Twinning project. THANK YOU. Just one thing..... you are not eating enough of the sweeties I left in the studio ! I helped you out by eating three for my breakfast.

Let's have some music....

This is currently NUMBER 12 in the Geriatric DJ's Top Twenty Chart.

The Eternal Teenager - Josh - called me yesterday afternoon asking if I could drive to his home and give him a lift somewhere. Josh - The Eternal Teenager is, are TWO

people - Josh and Mrs Josh - Jelena.

When I got to picking them up I found they wanted a lift for about a quarter of a mile. Josh smiled, we just wanted to see you and to be with you for a while. They wanted my love and they wanted to give me their love.

This is Josh's favourite song. You should hear him try to fit the word Jelena into Jolene !

I may be The Geriatric DJ the person but The Geriatric DJ as a brand id Josh, Jelena and myself. THAT NEEDS TO

CHANGE - The Geriatric DJ brand needs a lot more people, it needs a lot of love.

This is Jelena's favourite song.

Josh and I are very similar, we both live with our heads in the clouds. We are both married to special people, wonderful ladies who try so hard to keep our feet on the ground.

Both of the above pictures were taken in Stow National Trust

Gardens - GARDENING ON THE GRANDEST SCALE....

There is something quite unique about Josh, something I

wish so much I could replicate. When he smiles his whole face lights up and sparkles. You have to see it to understand what I am saying.

His face sparkled and crackled with electricity yesterday when we talked about something which will happen in April, the two of us are going to ride the longest aerial zip wire in Europe, a project with Radio Bonkers.

I played that song for a great friend, supporter and music lover PAUL. Great to see you at the boot sale earlier.

Last week Maureen and I celebrated forty years of marriage. Next Saturday Josh and Jelena celebrate seven years.

Jelena and I from time to time have some very deep and

philosophical conversations. A few days back we talked about the love between a husband and wife, Jelena said if you ask someone why they love another person and they give you a long and detailed explanation then that is not love. The ONLY answer can be: I don't know why I love him/her I just do.

5.19am - a little more writing then I need to pause and head off to the car boot sale.

It is usual on the daily blog for me to invite you to CLICK HERE and check out certain things within the website I am writing or the

different areas where we play our music. I am not doing that and the various buttons from the website are not linked. We need you not to CLICK HERE but to SHOW LOVE.

You did note my Sheffield Wednesday scarf in that video didn't you. I NEVER go anywhere without my Sheffield

Wednesday scarf. Josh, Jelena and myself are all SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY OWLS.

5.29am I guess I had better put my Sheffield Wednesday scarf on, get ready and drive down to Bletchley Irish Centre and today's boot sale.

I'll be back in a bit.

11.23am I am home from the boot sale. I was a wimp ! Started setting up in the dark at 6am, hoped it would warm up but it just got colder and colder. Packed up at 10.30am. We made £21.20. Dropped off the cash to Jelena.

Oh heck ! Oh flippin' heck I have just remembered it's my birthday one week today !

I will be 68 years old ! Why is it I still feel 17 years of age ?

This was the number one hit on my seventeenth birthday. I still play it and people love to listen to it.

68 years old ! Surely not ! There must be a mistake ! THE GERIATRIC DESTRUCTION MOST CERTAINLY NEEDS YOUR LOVE !

11.48am - I am writing today's blog and at the same time

building a playlist for a future edition of my new early morning show - MUSIC FROM MY VINYL COLLECTION.

I have this and am planning to share it with my radio listeners. I will tell you when it is to be broadcast.

While I am writing and at the same time downloading tracks of music I am also speaking on-line to three friends, supporters and music lovers. ANDY who has so strongly supported our boot sales is coming round with loads of STUFF to sell.

So should I go to the boot sale at Milton Keynes Bowl in the morning ? We could do with the cash to support our chosen

good causes.

I wonder if love will be on sale at any stall on tomorrow's boot sale ?

THE GERIATRIC DJ NEEDS YOUR LOVE

The featured album for the show against which I am busy downloading tracks is JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. This is my favourite track:

This will be the next song in the playlist.

NEVER forget that Life Is A Disco So Dance !

I have come up with something special for my Thursday morning show - Wake Up With The Classics. I am calling it WHERE CLASSICAL MUSIC MEETS ROCK AND ROLL,
