Sitting in the pub in Stoke D’Abernon. Having a quiet pint and a packet of crisps before I go home to cook Sunday lunch. As they say all is good … thank you Bill and Rebbecca for bringing me these tunes. It got an 8

Works the other way too. Early May 2015 I was in London visiting my older son when I realized the music that was playing in her apartment was really good and asked him what was that and he replied "Radio Paradise". He knows the good stuff.
