Dulcet tones over the Radio

Many years ago ~ in fact, too long ago to count ~ Dids, was a broadcaster on Radio VL2NI. He was very popular in that he played Country and Western music, which is loved by many islanders. In 1989 he went to the station and the Station Manager of the day, Mrs Kathy LeCren, recorded Dids speaking a poem in our beautiful Norfolk language, about what we want for Christmas.

Dids would periodically show up at the station, usually with our daughter Chelsea and do a one-off show, and sometimes the old recording would be played again.

This year, Dids and Pendo played with the old reel-to-reel from 1989 and digitally recorded the poem, as well as another that Dids had written at the age of 14 years, called "Under dar oel Pinetree". Darlene played the Christmas poem last Sunday and a number of people have since asked him to have CD's for sale. I too have tried. If you see him, give him a push to do so. It is very beautiful. If you haven't heard it I'll try and upload it to the blog. Don't wait for it though. It might take some time.
