John Peel, he gave me more music than I could handle, simple as that. Everybody has said everything that can be said. We all listened, we all taped,we all wrote. I was lucky enough to start listening in 1977, when the best thing to ever happen to music was strangely enough happening!
I could ramble on and on and on, but to anyone else it would just be boring, what I can remember makes me smile, which is good, I could even handle the fact he was a Liverpool supporter!
So what to do to mark this day? What session? Couldn't choose, so here's an A-Z of session covers, sadly incomplete, but hey that's life. Thank you John Peel, Thank you.
