Tom
 
Thanks had a listen too and like the cut of said jib.
 
Hope you fulfil your resolution - I gave up making them many years ago as they never helped me get what I want - but 300 peel tapes must be worth a go!

Tom,
Listened to the Christmas Special - great stuff! Also downloaded Tom's Olympic Salute for my future listening pleasure.

For some reason I assumed you were and ex-pat Brit, but apparently not so. When did you first discover our John?
Happy New Year
Alan
PS When I missed the Festive 50 one year, Tom was kind enough to send me the entire thing on CD.

I worked at a  video production facility and was laid off after 26 years this summer, and believe it or not it was a good thing. I've set up my own freelance film/video editing business and am already doing well. But it was so time-consuming I've not had a moment to log the 300+ Peel cassettes I promised to index so I can help fill missing slots in the archive.
