The writings of Max Robinson: SMILE

Did you know that the greatest rock band ever - QUEEN - started out as SMILE ?

Of course you did.

Within The Geriatric DJ's weekly Top Twenty Chart Queen is still at number one.

CLICK HERE for the full chart while Freddie and the boys will play for you all their chart topping hit for right here.

We play music here on our blog, we play it on our YouTube Channel, on our website www.geriatricdj.com and for eight hours a week on the radio www.crmk.co.uk.

EVERY note is designed to make people SMILE, be happy and to inspire support for good causes.

Over the past week we have had a lot to smile about. Are you smiling with us ?

The Geriatric DJ in person had a bit of a silly moment !

However, with only seven views so far it is NOT going to become much of a YouTube sensation !

Not so The Mini Libs with their Christmas Special.

The blog page announcing their appearing on last Wednesday's radio show broke Google Blogger records and catapulted our total readership a good bit nearer to that 100k we hope to achieve in the New Year.

When you have listened to their single JINGLE GIRLS follow

Help these amazing youngsters become the Christmas Sensation and send thousands of pounds to Milton Keynes Winter Night Shelter.

The Mini Libs will be singing live within the New Year Special on CRMK but more of that in a moment.

Make sure you open the music window on our Advent Calendar each day, smile and support good causes this Christmas. You can find the latest window on the home page of our website: www.geriatricdj.com and all at our YouTube Channel.

Tuesday's show MUSIC FROM MY VINYL COLLECTION will this coming

week feature the second disc in the double album THAT'LL BE THE DAY. Then on 18th December the featured album will be JIM REEVES CHRISTMAS SPECIAL.

The Geriatric DJ may have boogied in the studio this week so could we persuade him to polka ?

Next Wednesday's show is all about MUSICAL MILESTONES with each track dedicated to a good cause.

The following week the director of LightForce International will be in the studio to talk about his work in UGANDA so telling listeners all about that country, the country in which we have located our toilet twinning project. This show will be extended to THREE hours.

Let's have a bit of music from Uganda.

Isn't that a lovely piece of music ?

So far we have not attracted any radio listeners from Uganda

but we had last week listeners in: UK USA FRANCE GERMANY TURKEY IRAN JAPAN CANADA MEXICO ALGERIA COLUMBIA INDIA JERSEY HOLLAND DENMARK ALGERIA LATVIA BURUNDI AUSTRALIA - 19 different countries - we have certainly been rocking all over the world !

Thursday's show this week featured THE NUTCRACKER BALLET. The Geriatric DJ is, of course, a great fan of the ballet.

Let's play his favourite dance from the ballet.

Next week's show will feature the music of John Philip Sousa.

For those who like The Geriatric DJ's bit of fun WHERE CLASSICAL MUSIC MEETS ROCK AND ROLL this will be included in the show.
