Anaesthesia Isn’t All Bad

Firstly we hear our hero explaining about the marvellous Margarita Pracatan – last heard tunefully trilling as outro music in the previous episode. He then moves on to talking about what exactly he does for a living. The scene then moves to an al fresco setting as he takes his gentle listeners along on his commute to work, this segment terminating in the locker room of the O.R. [It must be said that he has yet to become fully accomplished with the requisite levels for the binaurals - so this bit is a tad muted.] [Next time he'll be speaking a helluva lot louder.]

Intro snippet of music: Ry Cooder – Music By – ‘Main Theme’

Outro Music: The Wallflowers – Bringing Down The Horse – ‘One Headlight’

A Flood And A Finale

Work stuff, the highlight thereof being a flood in my O.R. and my escaping being crushed under a collapsing ceiling as I dashed heroically thru the torrents to save my anaesthetic machine from inundation. The result of a fractured pressurised water pipe up in the roof space. Well …. that’s roughly what happened. Good news about an upcoming vacation in April next year. The finale of the sorry tale regarding David ……… and other random stuff.

Intro sound FX – Classic Sound Effects – Cathedral Interior.

Outro music: Margarita Pracatan – Live At The Palladium – ‘Hello’.

[Margarita Pracatan is an older lady, a somewhat demented wannabe diva - out of Cuba via New York City - had her own amateur cable show - and she both sings and plays a keyboard very badly indeed. As you can hear.]

Unhappy Memories

Despite a hesitant start this episode kicks off with matters of a general nature, then moves into darker and more sombre territory with recollections of bad times with my ex-partner David.

Those with more acute hearing may detect the odd hoot from Abercrombie in the background – as well as the faint whistling/screaming noise due to gusts of wind blowing thru the window cracks as the strength of the gale outside increased.

Outtro music: Alison Moyet – Voice – ‘Dido’s Lament; When I Am Laid In Earth’.

Honouring The Fallen

It’s Remembrance Sunday in Olde London Towne and the binaurals get an outing as the local parade passes by the apartment block. I retreat into Studio B and embark upon an hour long monologue – for which I apologise, gentle listeners. Mike’s birthday, responses to listener comments, Remembrance Sunday in the U.K., are among the random items that issue forth from my lips as I meander through the outer reaches of my psyche.

Outro music: Antony & The Johnsons – I Am A Bird Now – ‘Hope There’s Someone’
