Hi Max



I'll certainly tune in if you can give the frequency number please and yes, lots of happy memories there in your playing list. How often do you play Motown and Soul?

Happy Feet, the only track that you listed that I have over here in Cyprus is the wonderful 'Steel Away Tonight' by Barbara McNair. I've not heard Jimmy Ruffin's cover of I Want You Back, and the other that I've not heard is Sunny by Marvin Gaye. Thanks for the list, you've certainly caught me out there, although the vast majority of my collection is Northern Soul which as you know covers an expanse of labels including Motown (and it's pre-desessors like Ric-Tic & Stateside). If you have CD copies of the tracks on your list, I would be delighted to download onto the Radio Computer and play so that a wider audience can appreciate. Just as a side issue, who is/was your favourite Motown artist(s). Mine was Junior Walker & the All Stars who I felt had it all ranging from the very soulful (Cleo's Mood, What Does it Take etc) to the classic dance rhythms (Shotgun, Roadrunner, Aint Going Nowhere). Saw him live on stage 3 times & he was magnificient. Regards Max...

Yorkie, The Station broadcasts on 96.3 wavelength. I seem to get a much stronger signal on my car radio (almost perfect) than my digital radio in the house. I live at Alsancak. In the car the signal is good from Karsyaki in the west across to Esenteppe in the east. I broadcast (for free) every Wednesday from 6 until 7pm, and I always put on approx 3 extra hours of soul music that runs on after the show, and usually not taken off air until the following afternoon (Thursday). Hope that you enjoy the show, keep the faith, Max
