E to Twyford, two hours of fun and music on the old ship of fools. And big thanks to Gary Jackson for the last three hours, the big one he normally doesn't look quick, but he's got plenty of quickies up his sleeve, that's for sure. Gary, thank you so much for that, let's get our jeans on. When I wake up in the morning light, I pull off my jeans and I feel alright. I pull my good jeans on, I pull my good jeans on, I pull my good jeans on. It's the weekend and I know that you're free. So pull on your jeans and come on out with me. I need to have you near me, I need to feed you close to me. I need to have you near me, I need to feed you close to me.

I meet you in the usual place, I don't need a fee, such a pretty face. And I need to have you near me, I need to feed you close to me. I need to have you near me, I need to feed you close to me. I need to have you near me, I need to feed you close to me. You and me will go motorbike riding in the sun and the wind and the rain.

Once again, thank you to Gary Jackson for the last three hours, the big one for him. He'll be back with you later on this evening, I believe, straight off to Steve James on the old dope. Always out. That'll be 9 to 10. But I'm with you up until nine o'clock, two hours show tonight. I'm losing track of the days during all these cover shows. But today and tomorrow's my last show for a week. I'll tell you more about that later on. If you'd like a request, give us a call 01255 808 113.

Of course we have, yes, after Johnny Walker says his little piece. It's called Boogie. No, I'm not playing that. I play Mrs Applebee. I might give something all out of the lights. Here's the king or radio for you. Hi, this is one of the original Pirates, Johnny Walker. With a reminder, you're listening to Peter Twiford right here on Wonderful Big L. Enjoy the show. I'm sure they will, Johnny. Thank you so much for doing that for me. I appreciate it. And Mrs Applebee, David Garak. Dear, Mrs Applebee, I've got to get something off my chest. Mrs Applebee, you got the wrong idea about me. Mrs Applebee, you told me where she couldn't go with me because you heard that I was bad. Mrs Applebee, please hear my plea. Don't you know that anyone can change? Mrs Applebee, and for Marie, I'd even swim the sea. Mrs Applebee, I'm begging you to please be kind. I want a chance to change your mind about me. Mrs Applebee. Dear, Mrs Applebee, I know that I once made some bad mistakes. Mrs Applebee, but that was long before I loved Marie. Mrs Applebee, I'll make you glad that you can be. And you'll be proud to see Marie with me. Mrs Applebee, Mrs Applebee. Oh, strangely, you're listening to the music in your headphones.

A very interesting life, just been reading up about how well that was playing. As one of my neighbours said to me, "What do you do in the music's plan? I just sit there with me arms folded, yeah, of course I don't play it. No, I don't come on. You know me." Anyway, Twiford here on till nine o'clock for you. David and Trina, thank you for your email. We're listening to Bigel Radio Twiford. He's always on, but that's not a bad thing. He says, "Thank you so much. I love that comment." And I've got some information for you about Bigel back in the days of July 1965. Paul K, recording an edition of calling up curries at the Colchester branch as well. Yeah, I can remember that promo. And Ed Stewart made his first broadcast on the station back in that day. Kenny Everett got told off, of course, for playing a promo for the world tomorrow and the rain next day. Philip Burch, the owner of Bigel Radio, sent a memo to the ship saying, "Would you please make sure that all the ship DJs understand that we want no promos for religious programs anymore?" So there we are. Okay, let's get on with another track and then we'll have a guestie intro for you. It's Anita's request, and it is the Bigel's of course, a hard days' night, and it goes just like this. Good choice, Anita, as always. It's been a hard days' night and I've been with you like a dog. It's been a hard days' night. I should be sleeping like a love, but when I get home to you, I find the things that you do will make me feel alright. You know I work all day to catch your money to buy a thing, and it's worth it just to hear you say, "You're gonna give me everything, so I'll let you down more, 'cause when I get you alone, you know I feel okay." When I'm home, everything seems to be right. When I'm home, leaving you holding me tight, tight, yeah. It's been a hard days' night and I've been working like a dog. It's been a hard days' night. I should be sleeping like a love, but when I get home to you, I find the things that you do will make me feel alright. So why aren't you alone? 'Cause when I get you alone, you know I feel okay. When I'm home, everything seems to be right. When I'm home, leaving you holding me tight, tight, yeah. It's been a hard days' night and I've been working like a dog. It's been a hard days' night. I should be sleeping like a dog, but when I get home to you, I find the things that you do will make me feel alright. You know I feel alright. You know I feel alright. The Fab Four there from Liverpool, just for you this evening, good request and nature. I didn't know you like the Beatles, but a very lovely track and it was from the film of course, "Hard Days' Night" and I've had a hard day, a great day. Her daughter's been here, she cooked me an Italian lunch and we're going out tomorrow and oh it's just lovely. And we went from walk this evening just before I started the show after a dumb playlist of course. "It's the heart and soul of rock and roll. Big L." Guess the intro. I'm going to give you a couple of guess the intros because it's almost top part seven already and an executive, which is quite a special track. I'll be amazed if you get it, but we'll see how we go. Here's number one. And here's number two. And here's the executive just for you. A very well-known artist, but not quite such a well-known track and a great track to have towards the end of the show track as well. How do you contact us? Easy peasy, a lemon squeezy. Let's get launched. Five, four, three, two, one. I'll give you a repeat to those and no problem. And number two. I wish I'd choose that the world like just like that as well and the executive. If you get stuck on them, I'll give you some clothes and I'll give you a longer piece of the track because I do it all manually. I've not got all this computerized there stuff. I've got a touch screen now, but there we go. Patrika, I like your request and helmet. I like your message as well. I'll read that out shortly. Permission to come aboard and all that stuff. Very well done and put together. I like that. Let's go listen to Ray Stevens. Everything is beautiful. Ray Stevens. Ray Stevens has the little children. All their children of the world. Ray, they look like in life. They are precious in this art. Jesus has the little children of the world. Everything is beautiful in its own way. Like a starry summer night, or a snow covered winter's day. And everybody's beautiful in their own way. Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find the way. There is none so blind as he who will not see. We must not close our minds. We must let our thoughts be free. For every eye that passes by, you know the world gets a little bit older. It's time to realize, let me realize in the eyes of coming older. Everything is beautiful in its own way. Like a starry summer night, or a snow covered winter's day. And everybody's beautiful in their own way. Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find the way. We should care about the length of his hair, or the color of his skin. Don't worry about what shows from without. But the love that lives within. You're gonna get along again and out. Everything will work out fine. Just take a little time to become a good side my friend, and spin it out in your mind. Everything is beautiful in its own way. Like a starry summer night, or a snow covered winter's day. I'll sing it to him. Everybody's beautiful in their own way. Under God's heaven, the world's gonna find the way. One more time. Everybody's beautiful in their own way. Everything's always beautiful here on Big L International, and no matter how tired I am, I get here in front of these screens. The mix are in the music, and I'm away. I just love it. I really do.

I won't snip it, but you can have a longer piece, all right? That's number one. And number two. Anita, you're almost there. You've got the artist, right? I'll play a bit more of it for you. Well, that may help you. And the executive. It's a male singer, and he was part of the Live Aid lineup as well, played quite a big part, and he's taking life a bit easier now, but his good sound, an unusual sound to his as well. That's why it's the executive. Oh boy, a saxophone. I just melt, I do. My wife thinks it's a cat being strangled, but I just love all that music. It's one of my aims to go to a big jazz club. I've been London. You know the one I mean, of course you do, yes. All right, give us a call. How do you contact us getting carried away there? Contact BigL Radio now, phone. Oh, one, two, five, five, eight, oh, eight, oh, eight, one, one, three, email, studio@bigelradio.co.uk. Help me. I love your message. Good evening, Mr. Captain Sir, reporting for listening and asking for permission for permission to enter the ship permission granted. I hope the catering is good. Well, some days it is. My request while hearing while being aboard is for the liquidator by Shirley Bassie, and gonna make myself comfortable on a deck chair while waving and viewing the waves outside. Your request is a cracking one. I like that. It's really unusual. Here it is. Play then, will it? I see. He's Shirley Bassie. It's called the liquidator. The liquidator will soon be coming around. You won't be safe until you get out of town. He's an eraser. He'll rob you of the correct. And for a chase, you'll kiss you on one good night. He's a jackal and a Romeo, you know, the devil in the sky. There's no telling her a good thing, you know, to gaze into his arms. With a snapping of the fingertips of him, he'll take your life away. And a whisper from the smile, lips of him, will take your work away. The liquidator will soon be getting to you. You'll wake up late somewhere up in the blow. The undertaker would never try to deny the liquidator as a hell of a gun. Shirley Bassie there with a version of liquidator, and it's from an album, actually the 20-best film, title film, Souls. And it was released in 1965, and recorded in 1965 in London as well. And it's a great film as well. So there we are. Thank you for requesting that. And thank you for your answers coming in. David and Trina got your request. I'll find that in just a moment. Meanwhile, we've got a few Tamla Motown tracks for you. And this piece gets so high, wish your tire feet were fireproof. Under the boat, down by the sea, yeah. All I'd like to do with my baby is where I'll be. Under the boardwalk, out of the sun, under the boardwalk, we'll be having some fun. Under the boardwalk, people walking above. Under the boardwalk, we'll be falling in love, under the boatwalk. Now from the sandy hill, the happy sounds of a garrisoning hill. Oh, you can almost taste the hot dogs and fresh fries they sell. Under the boat, down by the sea, yeah. All I'd like to do with my baby is where I'll be. Under the boardwalk, out of the sun, under the boardwalk, we'll be having some fun. Under the boardwalk, people walking above. We'll be falling in love, under the boatwalk. Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah. All I'd like to do with my baby is where I'll be. Under the boardwalk, out of the sun, under the boardwalk, we'll be having some fun. People walking above. We'll be falling in love, under the boatwalk. No, we don't want that one yet, no. The computer, it fails me sometimes, it really does. Under the boardwalk, there are Bruce Willis with a course, The Temptations and the original line-up of The Temptations was David Ruffin, Melvin Franklin, Otis Williams, Eddie Kendrick's and Paul Williams. They made their recordings from the mid-60s up to the 70s and their producer was Norman Whitfield. Cloud Nine was one of their big hits in October 1968 as well. Jack Shepard, you got them both right. Well done to you. Good to hear from you on the app messaging link. That's all good stuff. Patrika got your request. There's so many messages here. I'll salt them all out in a moment but let's get on with the Motown. No one there, Martha Reeves goes like this. Oh, I wake up footsteps that I know will never come. I fix the field for two but the table set for one that I tell myself I only sound right here. The future is hard to see when you're looking through a tear. I've heard some coffee too long with no cream to your chair, and I find no one there. No one there, no one there for my dog. No one there, I'll have your number but I don't complete the call. Is that you at the door? No, just the wind outside that's all tossed and used to drive away, just to turn around. Talking to and emptiness makes such a lonely sound. I hang in my dark blue with all I want to share, and I find no one there, oh no one there won't do you help me now. No one there, no one there for my dog, no one there. I'm remembering love, all love, and you touch me in your life. It's that happy moment. I'm that happy time, the memory of your loving soul. I search for everywhere, no one there, oh no one there won't do you help me now. No one there, no one there, no one there. No one there, no one there, no one there. Mothoreves and the Vandalas there this evening for you, no really there, or as they say no one there, what's all that twifered up to? You're listening to Peter Twyford on Big L. Good afternoon to you listeners. They might think your intentions are honorable, but personally I've got sore misgivings. What are you talking about? The heart and soul of rock and roll, big L. Ray just love your voice on there. Let's do that beginning bit again. You're listening to Peter Twyford on Big L. Good on. Thanks very much Ray, it's always good to hear from you. We had a little chat this afternoon, he's taking life easy and he's getting there, he's getting there slowly, really really slowly, but there well. Last temptations track for you on the Motown section. Just my imagination does run away with me sometimes. Here's the old tempts. Good evening, welcome to the show. I say to myself, you're so totally the key guy. To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true. I love all the photos in the world she belongs to you, but it was just my imagination. Running away with me, it was just my imagination. Running away with you. So, some will be married and raise a family. Oh yeah, how closing little, how in the country, the two children may be three. I tell you, how close you are. This could be a dream or two wheeling in all of us. But it was just my imagination once again. Running away with me. I tell you, it was just my imagination. Running away with me. Every night on my knees I pray. Dear Lord, hear my plea. Don't ever let another take a love for me. Oh I'm sure they died, but I listen. Tell me, when I'm longing for me, I have taken my life for me. But in reality, she stands up even low. Just my imagination once again. Running away with me. Oh I tell you, it was just my imagination. Running away with you. I can't give you just my imagination. Running away with me. And especially for David and Trina, they've sent a request in. Peter, please could you play "Time is on my side" by the Rolling Stones, who is certainly never on my side, except of recent this week. Plenty of hours of radio, yes, but I won't be around next week. I will be in Svenska in the very north looking at them to see. So, especially for you, here's your request. Time is on my side. Time is on my side, yes it is. Time is on my side, yes it is. Now you always say that you want to be free, but you come right, and I said you were baby, you come right, and I told you so many times before. You come right back to me. Time is on my side, yes it is. Time is on my side, yes it is. Searching for good time, but just wait and see. You come running back to the station with darling, you come right back to my life with the baby, you come running back to me. You come right back to the station with darling, you come right back to the station with darling, you come right back to the station with darling, yes it is. Time is on my side, yes it is. Time is on my side, yes it is. You come running back to the station with darling, you come right back to the station with darling, you come right back to me. Time is on my side, yes it is. Well time is certainly on their side over 60 years ago when they started, their first big hit was called Come on by the Rolling Stones and it was on the decker label. They were very quickly interviewed on TV and they asked Mick Jagger, a very tall slim guy there on television in their very BBC voice and how long do you think your last old world, I think it should do about three months or so. Here they are 60 years later, still touring, still doing the good stuff and that choice of record was one of the favourites of mine, very very good choice. Music, that's our middle name, wonderful music, the ITL. The first and the only person to get the executive and the other two right, she knows who she is, she eats copious amounts of chocolate, always very very cheerful when she calls through. We're talking about Claire and Nottingham, cuddly chocolate and Claire, cabry Claire, we nickname her on the team here. Well done to you, you've got the executive and number one and number two. I'll be playing number one and number two for you later on in the evening but I'm going to keep all of them running for you because there's quite a few people over on the Netherlands that don't join us until the second hour because time is a little bit different there. And they leave a different lifestyle as well. So well done to you Claire, well done to Anita, you've got one and two, Petriki, you've got one and two, David and Trina, I can't see any answers from you yet. Jack Shepherd, you've got one and two, Maggie and Brickson, you've got one and two, Martin in Norwich and helmet, you've got one and two and you certainly have a good try to get the executive, you'll love it when you hear it, it's a great try. And I'm sure from memory, from memory, he was in the line up of Live Aid, of course. So well done to you Claire and let's have a little celebration with some sound and vision, yes David Bowie. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Sound of vision there, Mr David Bowie. Maureen, thank you for your message. Yes, I have had a good day and I hope you've had a great day as well. I always have good days, but extra special today because her daughter's been here and she cooked me a great lunch and we went out for a little walk and she helped me do the play list. She won't have anything to do with radio, you'd never hear a voice on here unfortunately, but I played that Bowie track for Tiggie Walker, who's a big big big fan and of course she's looking after and caring for Johnny Walker at the moment. All you have to do is dream, especially for Anita, Ray said, "Could you play some Glen Campbell for Anita?" [Music] [Music] Do this dream, dream, dream when I feel blue. In the night and I need you to hold me tight whenever I want you. All I have to do is dream. I can make your mind test you twice any time, not a day. Only trouble is, gee whiz, I'm dreaming my life away. I need you so, that I could die, I love you so. And that is why whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream. I can make your mind test you twice any time, not a day. Only trouble is, gee whiz, I'm dreaming my life away. I need you so, that I could die, I love you so. And that is why whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream. Dream, dream, dream, dream. Dream, dream, dream. [Music] From Feature Story News in Washington, I'm Nick Harper. US President Joe Biden has blamed too much foreign travel for his poor debate performance against Donald Trump last week. It comes as Democrats are pushing for Biden to drop out of the race for the White House amid mounting concerns about his age and mental agility. He'll be meeting Democratic governors virtually on Wednesday evening as he attempts to shore up support following that shaky debate amid intense internal deliberations about whether he should step aside. Ever since Benjihay reports from Washington. There's a real effort now to calm the waters just a day after the first Democrat congressman publicly called for Joe Biden to formally withdraw from the race for the Oval Office. The White House says it's looking to turn the page following his raspy halting debate showing. Whilst his campaign continues to downplay the crisis, insisting President Biden remains the nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris, his running mate. But she now polls better than Biden in a match up with Republican Party candidate Donald Trump. Benjihay Washington. The death toll from Hurricane barrel in the Caribbean has risen to seven as the deadly storm barrels towards Jamaica. It's lessened to a category four storm down from a category five, but it's still packing wind speeds of around 150 miles an hour. There's set to be record breaking numbers of people traveling in the US over the 4th of July holiday. Gas prices have come down in recent years but remain above pre-pandemic levels. Analysts say that's not likely though to impact many people's travel plans. Ever since Caroline Malone reports. Motorist group AAA says as many as 71 million people are likely to travel around this week's Independence Day holiday more than ever before at this time. Almost to those people 60 million will be driving while others will fly or take buses, trains or cruises. The high cost of gas has also stopped drivers in recent years, but those prices have now eased down to $3.5, the national average for a gallon of gas. The White House also announced on Tuesday the sale of one million barrels of gas from a Northwest Reserve. That's likely to bring prices down even further ahead of July 4. Caroline Malone, Washington. In the UK, it's the final day of campaigning ahead of Thursday's general election. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's conservatives are a long way behind in the polls. The prime minister is trying to persuade voters that a landslide victory for the opposition Labour Party would be bad for Britain. Labour leader Keir Starmer is continuing to deliver his message that it's time for change, as he bids to become the first Labour leader to win a general election since Tony Blair. Smaller parties are also out campaigning, trying to pick up votes before the polls open on Thursday morning. Hello, this is Norm Sinhong. You might remember me from the old radio London, though, but today you'll listen to the new radio London, and Peter Typon. Hope you're enjoying it. The heart and soul of rock and roll, beat hell! Big girl! When dinosaur experts studied the fossil, they could see evidence of Peter Typon. The heart and soul of rock and roll, hell! Oh, I do thank Ray Heaven for making that for me. He did it through a voice box. He's so clever that man. He really is. We're going to broil person, and then two more guests, the intros, and then all the sloppy stuff, and we'll give you some answers to them as well. Thank you so much for your messages. Shal-a-la, to be one. On my mom, yep, yep, hmm. Shal-a-la, to be one. On my mom, yep, yep, hmm. On my mom, yep, yep, hmm, yep, hmm. I have no fear of a brush away. The lonely kid, I believe. Oh, I believe. Oh, I believe. And the love's precious rain, it's just burning rain, but it won't have to blame. He thought love was a game. Oh, such a shame, but don't you cry, don't stop. I'll tell you why. I really say goodbye. Blue angels. Shal-a-la, to be one. On my mom, yep, yep, hmm. La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. I know you're doing all the time, don't you?

It's if everybody here would know exactly what I was talking about. We're talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes. (music) (music) She makes the sign of a teaspoon, he makes the sign of a wave. The poor boy changes clothes, and he puts all the health to shame. To compensate for his ordinary shoes.

I've kept all the pictures, but I've had my feelings so no one knows me. I show my friends all come round, but I'm in a crowd and I'm my own. It's 'cause you're gone now, but your heart's the least. It'll be here in the middle of the head. You see, I've had the moments I knew before, you let me know. I didn't believe it, not you. No, you were not, let me go. Seems I was wrong. There's the one thing you can't take away. Thank you so much for joining me. I'll be back with you on drive time between four o'clock and six o'clock this Friday. You've enjoyed the selection, playing out with Phil Collins. [Music]
