John's 40th Birthday - 30th August 1979

[Humphrey]

Well done & ta for all the mp3 soldering work ! But "pre-Fall world" in 79 is not right - I remember my excitement and bemusement at hearing/taping a Fall session broadcast on Peel around Dec 78. "I Like To Blow" (wonder what that was about, surely not drugs) and "No Christmas For John Quays" - weird and unique musical urban poetry, the opposite to prog rock (which I also loved in 78). They had another sesh on Peel earlier in 78 but I can't recall hearing that, maybe I was doing the dreaded "homework"...
