Okay, while I'm talking about favourite musicians - Clem Burke.

The drumming in this makes me go insane and out of my mind.

The non-stop floor-tom rolls.

I've seen him perform live 3 or 4 times, in Blondie as well as the Eurythmics.

Definitely one of my favourite drummers (along with Danny Carey).

Oh shit!

Clem Burke, Blondie’s drummer and ‘heartbeat’, dies aged 70

Clem Burke, the drummer whose backbeats powered Blondie to huge chart success across several decades, has died aged 70.

Burke’s bandmates Debbie Harry and Chris Stein said he had died after “a private battle with cancer”, in a tribute posted to Instagram.

They added: “Clem was not just a drummer; he was the heartbeat of Blondie. His talent, energy and passion for music were unmatched, and his contributions to our sound and success are immeasurable … His vibrant spirit, infectious enthusiasm and rock solid work ethic touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.”

Burke was one of only three band members, alongside Harry and Stein, to play on every one of Blondie’s 11 studio albums. Together the group defined the American new wave sound of the 1970s and 1980s, scoring six UK No 1 hits and four in the US, including Heart of Glass and The Tide Is High.

Alongside his work with Blondie, Burke played in supergroups such as the International Swingers, Slinky Vagabond and Magic Christian, and guested with artists as varied as Ramones, Eurythmics, Bob Dylan and Nancy Sinatra.

The music on Serenade Radio is the best in easy listening, with a nostalgic leaning. Given the preponderance of “oldies” stations these days we generally tend to steer away from the chart hits of the 60s and 70s. A great deal of the music on Serenade Radio cannot be heard anywhere else.

Every programme on Serenade Radio has a presenter who shares the music that they love, each programme is personal. His or her job is to introduce the music and keep you company. You won’t hear the same style of music every hour of every day, it used to be called variety but it seems to have gone out of fashion!

We are not here to sell you anything, present the day’s news or advise you on traffic conditions. We see ourselves as a bit of friendly company throughout your day, with the best in easy listening, whatever you are up to.

The years haven't been kind to Mr Gilmour Undecided

Greggy knows that picture - he scores 10/10.

The line "The years haven't been kind to Mr. Gilmore"
is from the Pink Floyd song "Wish You Were Here," specifically the track "Wish You Were Here".
It is a melancholic phrase used to express the perception that
the passage of time has taken a toll on the subject,
likely referring to the band's former member Syd Barrett,
who struggled with mental health issues throughout his career.
