COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW AUGUST 16TH 2016.

My show was integrated with The Guiness Book of Records attempt by Tudno Fm to see if two of
our resident DJs could beat the standing record of 120 hours of non-stop talking and music. Because of this the playlist is severely reduced for EASY LISTENING show as my stint was four hours and the second two hours covered MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS  programming.

COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW FEATURING "THE PATTI PAGE TOP TEN CHART SINGLES" JULY 26TH 2016.

PATTI PAGE. THE COMPLETE U.S. HITS 1948-62....ACROBAT MUSIC..(3CDS)
Tracks played.....
I don't care if the sun don't shine / All my love / The Tennessee Waltz / Would I love you / Mocking bird hill / Detour / And so to sleep again / Once in a while / I went to your wedding /  You belong to me.

Without a doubt the most exhaustive collection of Patti Page hits including every record that entered the top hundred charts....86 in all. The varying quality is extremely interesting  as well as very satisfying as Miss Page's voice holds up to every kind of song no matter what genre. She can master impressive ballads,novelty songs and country and western songs with professional aplomb. Not the complete Patti Page because she also released many high quality albums, but certainly this is perfect nostalgia for those who remember her many hits.****.

JONI JAMES...THIS IS JONI JAMES ON VOCAL CLASSICS.
Tracks played....
Why don't you believe me / Have you heard / This is my confession / There goes my heart,

An album from MGM diva Joni James seems a little repetative at times but with a full vocal  and
enterprising orchestra backing some of her songs are quite compelling, especially " There goes my heart". This 21 tracks album ( if you can get hold of it) covers most of her hits.***.
