[peel] Anecdote

[Gert Stuut]

I don't think she listened to Radio Bremen (Germany). John Peel had his own show on the Dutch radio during the Eighties, then called Hilversum  Drie, now called Radio 3. (drie = three).

            Hello chaps!

I'm now moved to Saudi Arabia and having great fun (not!) trying to 

download those cool files that are being currently shared by the group.

Pitiful download rates and 'YouSendIt' is blocked by the Saudi fire 

wall while 'RapidShare' isn't! - Go figure!

Here's my little anecdote I thought I'd share - I was flying via KLM 

from a connection I made in Amsterdam to Dammam in Saudi Arabia. Just 

before we came in to land I was reading through Ken Garners great Peel 

Sessions book when the Dutch stewardess commented that 'oh - you like 

your music don't you - I saw you reading Mojo magazine earlier and now 

you're reading about John Peel'!

It turns out that she was a bit of a music fan herself and told me 

that the Dutch used to tune in to Peel regularly also! She didn't tell 

me which station so I guess it was Radio Bremen.

How strange eh? The poor old sods dead yet still bringing people 

together - candidate for a sainthood perhaps? (chortle!).



Ma'salaama!
