SPECIAL NOTE:

As this was our last Rock 'n' Roll Friday on 4FM, we played just a few of our favourite tracks.

Narrowing down the list to the 21 tracks we played was nigh-on impossible, but it had to be done. This is just a snap shot of what we've been digging over the years. (Ask me to make such a list tomorrow and it would be quite different!)

I'd like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to Gerry and Brendan here at 4FM, who kept the show on the air with their technical wizardry.

More importantly, I'd like to thank all of you for listening over the past 19 months, both on the radio and on-line. It's been great fun and I hope that you enjoyed hearing the music as much as I enjoyed playing it.

Finally, I must thank my children Alex and Isabel, who are perpetually telling me to "turn the music down," thus proving once again that old saw about the child being the father to the man. (At least somebody in our house is thinking about the neighbours!)
