Argyll FM at Hogmanay

[vinyl junkie]

Didn't know RD had such a big fan club! he's hoping to be back on air on 15th March sometime after 10pm. And no, he's NOT interneted yet but plans are afoot.

[big tony]

trust me to only find this two weeks late, nobody tells me anything!!!

and after me talking to robbie colin and iain on seperate occasions this morning and not a cheep, i'll need to pop in and see peter gibson to get the real gen

[the phone girl]

they seek him here, they seek him there - my daughter phoned up for a request tonight for her friends going to the school dance and presto it was Richard Dewar - think he did 7pm until 10. Glad she let me know it was a good show.

[big tony]

am i too late to say bugger?

that could be misconstrued?

i mean bugger as in missed him again, were just good friends honest!!!!

[Frosty]

Some day I will also get to hear Mr Dewar.
I wish I knew he was going to be on last week as I was working in Dalry.
Never mind , I agree big tony , it is a beggar that we misssed hearing his impecable music tastes and bannter.
Thanks for the info Phone Girl , but You didn.t say what your daughters request was or if the man himself played it
Al the best

who said anything about him having taste? his taste has always been firmly in his butt, his delivery stilted, his laugh annoying, his beard? beardy, his dress sense? 70's, his manner patronising, even the way he walks, i'll think of something, give me a minute, mincing? no, not mincing? bandy legged? no not that either, och well i'm sure theres something.

i'm going to step over the threshold for first time in over three years to find out when he's on next, i can't keep missing him like this, not the man that makes pink floyd even more boring, the man that turn music fans away from led zep in their droves, a man that can spend a whole weekend at a music festival and still appear remarkably sober despite never being seen without a six pack (of beer, you didn't think? no your not that daft) then leave before his beloved wishbone ash came on. i think he even invented the term MILF in his youth, i'm saying nothing!!!! the original ligger who coined the phrase "wheres the party?"

i want to show him a cutting i found from the judges column from an old sunday mail, from 1978, the story used to amuse him. belated happy birthday RD who'd have thought it 54 eh!!!! 53? 55? 52?

Can't possibliy be the same man as I know that he can stay the course at Weekend Festivals ( Reading '83 ) and Party before concerts , but not swim , ( remember Manchester 1988 Richard ) before Pink Floyd at Maine Road .
Argyll FM have some fantastic Presenters , I've heard Colin , John A and John G but I've still to hear RCD

Suspect ol' 4th gen was not live tonight, still on actually. The references to Xmas and the general mid winter "feel" gave it away. Enjoyed listening as always though. That Joan Osbourne song is great.

[general jack o'niell]

would never question his staying power, i'll leave that to any old girlfriends that log on, joking!!!

if anyone knows where i can get a lead to connect a hewlett packard hp psc 500 to my pc with a usb at pc end and the old fashioned pin connecter at printer end i could put up a nice pic of him, its a lovely group shot taken at i think the second loch lomond fest. it even includes his cousin jim, a muppet, musical impresario kevin, kelvin, ahu ahu mcmillan, the brothers D and a certain stick thrower when he had a nice head of hair, among others, luckily i'm not in it as i took the pic, i also have 100 pics of the jams performance that same weekend?

i wish he'd get with the program and log in here as i miss his banter something fierce and i seldom see dick or maureen to get any news. he honestly was the only reason to be involved with AFM and it stopped being fun when he moved up the road, much as i enjoyed big bill's company of a morning, richard was the heart of the station, no offence to any of the other stalwarts as you never saw anybody from one week to the next, everybody just coming in to do their thing. richard was always there at his desk, usually schmoozing on the phone, laughing like a drain, he could sell oil to the arabs.

Would like a copy of the photo if you can manage it! Just to see how goofy all of them look!

[The Elusive Mr D.]

I've been reliably informed that some people want to hear me on the radio, (probably to slag my choice of music!)
If you can stay awake after midnight tonight you might get a wee sensation of RAWK'N'ROLL. Or something quieter if the mood takes me. Thanks for your interest and I hope to have a sort of regular schedule on AFM soon, bus timetables permitting.

[jane59]

Thanks for the warning

[Annie]

It's about time you surfaced there Cuz! You would think Lochgilphead was a foreign country by the way some folk have been on about you "moving away!" LOL

[Frosty]

Mr D
Wellcome to the Forum , we have been expecting you ? ? ! ! ? ?
I'll not be able to listen just yet as the waves do not reach outer Derbyshire so it will have to be next time in
Dalry.
