Bob Harris news

 so sad to hear that Bob ‘Bomber’ Harris is retiring as a DJ who we all grew up with here via The Old Grey Whistle Test earning his sobriquet ‘Whispering’ Bob as we all tuned in every week to see who he would feature (Captain Beefheart, Ry Cooder, Roxy Music, Eurythmics etc etc . . . . ) and the endless brilliant cartoons played via the featured album tracks. That he continued so long via BBC Radio is little short of miraculous and we will miss him sorely. It is reported his pancreatic cancer has no spread to his spine thus incapacitating him further. I trust his ongoing treatment lends to his comfort in his retirement . . . . . . . 

Reasons to be cheerful . . . . . .or reflective for sure
