Following this show this evening will be Gary Jackson for a quick one for an hour and then Nick Barnes are actually a cardboard cutout. I was going to cover his show but I thought four hours of twifered might be a bit too much for you. Join Nick Barnes every Friday night for the big Friday night live show, 7 till 9pm. He'll be playing the best music from the 50s to the 80s and also a few lost little gems from the past. Don't miss out on this Friday night treat and relive your favorite music for the old days with Nick Barnes. And Nick Barnes is solid gold in fact so that will be following Gary Jackson this evening and following that will be our good friend Harky who's got a news that's a new show for him this evening. I call it new. It started at the beginning of the year. Time flies. You'll remember yesterday nothing happened because this program hadn't started yet. When the American oldies do well. Always with a lannock we just visited Rockin Road. From 6 to 8am, Saturday's and Sunday's comedy. Even Jackson made sense. Too late. There were Harky with you this evening and also over the weekend as well and the shows are repeated the following weekend on a Saturday to Sunday basis for you. Back on Monday and on Wednesday is Paul Voss and he will be covering my Wednesday show one of my holy bobs. Every Tuesday evening from 7 to 10pm. The Dutchy goes live. With the Naderby top 8, competition time, the reverse competition and Harky in the kitchen. Please join me every Tuesday evening on Big L. The mighty Paul Voss there for you. Be back with you next week. I covered his shows last week. I couldn't step into his shows either. Paul Voss is broadcasting from our studios over in France. "Somebody help me out. Somebody help me now. Won't somebody tell me what I've done wrong?" When I was just a little boy, I was 17. I headed her. She was my queen. She didn't love me like I've done so long. Somebody help me out. Somebody help me now. Won't somebody tell me what I've done wrong? Somebody help me out. Somebody help me now. Won't somebody tell me what I've done wrong? If somebody help me out. Won't somebody help me now. Won't somebody help me now. Won't somebody help me now. The Spencer Davis Band was formed originally by David Nelson Davis and he came from. His birth name was Spencer David Nelson Davis. There's a name for you and a half isn't it. A band had several hits of course including Keep On Running, Give Me Give Me Some Loving, I'm a man etc. etc. and they were all sung by Stevie Wingwood. Wherever you go, the best songs are on the big hill. The heart and soul of rock and roll. I am Paul Voss when you're doing Michelle and Wednesday. Don't forget the Elvis L follows. Hi, I'm Steve James. Join me for an hour's weather building. It starts off slow and just tapers off to nothing. I'm bigo international. We're on a nerve baby. Wednesday from 9 p.m. is a lovely little golden oldie for you and I can turn you newly. This is from a show actually and it's called What Kind of Fall Am I? Well I'm not a fall. I love music. It's running through my veins. What kind of fool am I? Who never fell in love? It seems that I'm the only one that I have been thinking of. What kind of man is this? An empty shell. A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell. What kind of lips are these? That life with every kiss. That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this. Why can't I fall in love like any other man? And maybe they'll know what kind of fool I am. What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life? Why can't I cast away this mask of play and live my life? Why can't I fall in love till I don't give a damn? And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am. Anthony newly involved in lots of West End shows and produced some wonderful, wonderful music. I thank you so much for joining me this afternoon on Big L and I trust you're having a good time and have a great weekend. In fact you never know you might have a perfect day. Here's Lou Reed with that very day. Listen to the lyrics. It's very clever. Just a perfect day. Drinks angrier in the park. And then later when it gets dark we go home. Just a perfect day.

Lou Reed this afternoon there for you on Big L International and his real name was Lewis Allen Reed. He was born in October of 1942. A little bit older than me then.
