Celebrate John Peel Day with the olio!

Thursday, October 13, 2005, has been declared John Peel Day by the BBC. John Peel was a DJ on the BBC, & on pirate radio before that, for over 35 years. His taste, & his ability to embrace new forms of music, along with his skills as a Broadcaster, made him a legend, and a Hero to me.
On October 13, at 1200 GMT (7am USCDT), repeated at 2300 GMT (6pm USCDT), cj's radio olio will run a special show in honor of Mr. Peel. It will consist of many of my most-favorite tracks. I hope you will join me.
Love and Peace, Clarence

cj's radio olio's Top Twenty Five is Unleased!
A few days late (but never last), the new cj's radio olio Top Twenty Five (plus 5) is now availible at the usual place: http://www.geocities.com/claren44/toptwentyfive. As has been usual in the 5 month history of the Top 25+, almost no tracks are duplicated from month to month. Meanwhile, this month it helped to be named Johnny, or derivations of Johnny. Four artistes with that first name made the list. Also, there is a tendency towards pre-1980 music, although Bllix, Andrew Bisset, & Cheese on Bread raise the flag for Modern-er music...I'm sorry, Mr. Webster, for creating such a deformed word.
Thanks for voting, & Please vote again to have your opinion heard next month!
Love & Peace, Clarence

ps: I tweaked the site's color scheme...check it out & let me know your opinion at olioradio (at) gmail.com
