I think that Don has been the perfect replacement for David Jacobs--hope he can be persuaded to stay.

Don played Matt's rather unusual and almost soulful song tonight "My Friend My Friend" and said that Matt was his best friend.
Another enjoyable selection of songs including Jack Jones lovely version of " Call Me Irresponsible". Don payed a nice tribute to David Jacobs and played a song that he knew was one of David's favourites .. "I Won't Send Roses." sung by Robert Preston. :)

I said a while back it would take a few weeks for Don to catch up with the passing of David Jacobs, as Dons show is pre-recorded well in advance :wink: ............nice that Don said Matt was his best friend on air :) ............Don said Jack Jones was one of the best singers around :) ..........the Liberace story was very funny, I could just imagine it :lol:

I heard Matt--but no, I did not hear JM--"Love look away is so beautiful, he used to include it in his concerts at one time.

Well I could hardly disagree, when Don is playing one of my all time favourites of Matt's... I have Dreamed " recorded by many but this recording is incomparable. :)
Don spoke of the Matchlesss Matt Monro and said, Matt never sang a bad song.
Well Don has yet to present a bad programme. He never disappoints. :)

I did get to hear Matt last night---just lovely---but I did not hear much else--I have a really heavy head cold just now, so went right off to sleep after Matt.
