Keith did this years ago, i tapped it off the radio in about 83'
It was great song choices from him, i listened to them for years.
It will be interesting to see if he picks different songs this time.
Last time he chose song's like Take Another Piece Of MY Heart , What becomes of the broken hearted , If I Don't Have you by Gregory Issacs. Stuff like that
PS It might not have been Dessert Island disks but he did pick 10 songs including chuck berry and Ronnie Wood, I can feel the fire, if i remember correctly
Oh and a song from little Walter, the rest will come to me as the day comes on

Yes - I remember this. In fact I taped it and played it regularly. The other songs he picked were : Are You Lonely For Me Baby by Freddy Jackson, War in a Babylon by Max Romeo & the Upsetters, Money for Nothing by Dire Straits, What's Love Got To Do With It by Tina Turner.
The latter two were fairly modern by Keith's standards, and I remember thinking he had probably been asked to include a couple of contemporary songs. I think the Ronnie Wood song may have been Crotch Music rather than I Can Feel the Fire.
Have racked my brains, and I don't think there was a Chuck Berry song, which surprised me at the time. There was possibly and old country song or possibly Buddy Holly or Elvis but I can't be certain.

I have tried and failed to understand your statement, Big Al. What do you mean, please and thank you?
Not to speak for Big Al but I think he meant that the younger generation could give a toss about Desert Island Discs and BBC 4 in general.

My mother used to play Radio 4 in the car when I was a child. Whilst I would have preferred something more suited to my young ears, I was served with a dose of the dullest of the dull. The Archers and news. sssoul is very right regarding the younger generations' distain for Radio 4. However, Dessert Island Discs is OK and, well, as a thirty-something, I no-longer fit-in with the 'youngsters' In fact, Radio 4 is probably preferable to Radio 1 these days, which I cannot stand. I regret my original post, somewhat.
