 ANNIE NOVEL

Annie a roulé sa voix sur les ondes de RADIO FRANCE une dizaine d'années. Elle a pu être reporter, intervieweuse, monteuse; animer en live, en solo et en duo, des Alpes à la Creuse, de l'Estérel à la Seine, 'en passant par la Lorraine avec mes sabots'... En régions donc, mais aussi, pour l'événement, en Italie et en Espagne.
Aujourd'hui, elle colle sa voix aux membranes des micros de studios des environs perpignanais, pour des productions institutionnelles, des documentaires, des pubs, des messages téléphoniques, des siglages radiophoniques. Elle a la faiblesse de croire que son léger.. accent gaulois, en anglais, en espagnol ou en italien, pourrait susciter votre envie d'en écouter plus,
et d'en redemander, pour vos entreprises !

 JIMBO  Sometimes written JIM BEAU (French for beautiful).
He runs our sister station
RADIO DIZZY that plays non-stop gay-cult tracks. He got us going in the early days and has given us lots of help over the years. But he's in desperate need of vitamin D, so if you'd like to bring a little sunshine into his world, here's how to contact him:

 RICHARD GRAHAM Richard has been nick-named Captain Oddball because he often plays oddball tracks and because he's always talking about boats
- offshore radio ships in particular.
Richard was with the station practically since the start and was tireless in searching for rare tracks. He  presented "Breakfast in Europe" and a daily 1-hour show called "Soul Gold".

  TOP 30 MILLION SELLING RECORD ARTISTS (1933-1983) 

  1)  Elvis Presley
  2)  The Beatles
  3)  Bing Crosby
  4)  Fats Domino
  5)  Perry Como
  6)  The Rolling Stones

  MUSIC AND FORMAT 

The original idea was to play "100 Years of Gold discs". In the early days of records, gold meant one million sales. Enrico Caruso's "Vesti La Giubba" was the first million seller in 1903 and was available in 2 versions that year, acapella and with piano accompaniment. The song was released again 3 years later as a "remix" with orchestra.

Gold was first mentioned in 1905 when Marie Hall received a gold bracelet as a gift when she became a popular violinist.
The first actual gold disc was awarded to Glenn Miller in 1942 for "Chattanooga Choo Choo".

Our play list was originally to be part of a "Total Music" format where anything goes, based on the format of FIP in France. But while opera next to jazz was OK, the AC/DC or the rap track that followed would have really upset Caruso and Hall, so we limited the range of years to 40 with 1983 as the upper limit.

The final format was a play list that has all the world million selling hits (except Japanese which proved difficult to find) from 1937 to 1983, all the number one hits of the 60s and 70s and some million-selling album tracks from the 70's and 80's.

  MUSIQUE ET FORMAT 

L'idée de départ était de diffuser '100 ans de disques d'or'. Dans le temps, or signifiait qui a atteint un million de ventes. Caruso fut le premier millionnaire, en 1903, grâce aux deux versions de ''Vesti La Giubba', a capella et accompagné au piano. Un 'remix' avec orchestre fut réalisé 3 ans plus tard.

La notion d'or fut retenue, la première fois, quand Marie Hall se vit offrir un bracelet en or, alors qu'elle était devenue une violonniste très populaire. Officiellement, le premier disque d'or récompensa, en 1942, Glenn Miller pour 'Chatanooga Choo Choo'.

Notre play-list, originellement, devait couvrir l'ensemble des musiques et chansons, à la façon de FIP, radio nationale en France, 'où tout est possible'. Mais, aussi bien opéra et jazz cohabitent harmonieusement, aussi mal ACDC ou du rap juste à la suite. Cela risquerait de décoller les oreilles de Caruso ou de Hall. C'est pourquoi nous avons 'limité' notre sélection de 1937 à 1983, dernier carat.

Le format final comportait tous les disques d'or de la planète (sauf les japonais, plutôt rares), tous les numéros un des charts britanniques et américains, de 1960 à 1979 et les morceaux d'albums d'or de 1970 à 1989.

  HEALTH NEWS  

PETER MARTIN'S HEALTH REVOLUTION
As requested by hundreds of stunned admirers, here is a run-down of what he did...

January 2007: Very over weight, breathlessness, scabby feet, painful knees and ankles, bloated legs, etc.

February 6, 2007:
1) Visit to general practitioner. - Result: very high blood pressure.
2) Full blood test. - Result: everything at danger levels.
3) Gave up fat, sugar, salt, flour and alcohol that very day.
Didn't wait, saying "it's a shame to throw that away"
- better to throw away the above items than throw away a life or, at best, be in need of leg amputations!

February 10:
4) Went on the "kick-start" fat-burning soup recipe. - Result: Lost 8 kilos (nearly 18 lbs) in 7 days!!
This is a recipe from Quebec and is very well-known in France. If you don't cheat, it is guaranteed to work.
We've found a similar recipe to the one Peter used, in English: Fat-burning soup recipe
It is imperative to follow the recipe to the letter and not to exceed the 7 days.
(Note: Canned tomatoes will give more flavour and less calories)

February 17:
5) Went back to eating normally but really sensibly:
no fat (no fried food), no potatoes (just a little pasta and brown rice), no salt,
very little dairy produce - cow's milk replaced with vegetable "milk" (soy, oat or rice),
no white bread and only a little wholemeal,
no sauces, no added sugar, and no liquor.

Big breakfast (very important) with red fruits, berries etc. and cereal that has the least sugar.
(Note: Ordinary corn flakes contain half the salt and sugar of "Special K" and cost far less!)

1 small glass of red wine with the other two meals
At least 5 different vegetables per day
At least 5 different fruits per day
Red meat only 1 midday meal per week
Replaced beef with horse (8 times less fat)
Other midday meals: White meats, white fish and seafood

Evening meals: Soup without potato, maybe with a whole-rice biscuit.

Results:
In 10 months, Peter's weight went from 125 kilos to 81 kilos - that's a 44 kilo loss (97 lbs / almost 7 stone).
His waist size went from 42 inches to 31 inches and his chest size from 47 inches to 41 inches.
He tightened his watch strap by 5 holes and had 7mm removed from his wedding ring.

No medication was used - only eating LOTS of good food.

It is IMPORTANT to visit the doctor very regularly and to have several blood tests, 2-3 months into the dieting.
Get the minerals levels checked (magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium, etc.).

Some exercise is good but there's no need to go "over the top" - a daily 20-minute walk is fine.

A lot of motivation is required at the start - but just read up on heart attack, diabetes, stomach problems
or kidney and liver failure and it becomes really easy (unless one is contemplating suicide).

Once started (after the 7-day soup diet) is it auto-motivating - the sensation of well-being is overwhelming.
One also has the wonderful feeling of self-satisfaction and pride.
After a month, a meal at the neighbours' house will taste horribly of salt and the mere sight of those
little bright orange things that plop out of industrial installations will make you feel ill.

And finally, Radio 66 has closed so you are relieved of Public Service Announcements!
But just keep in mind, Diabetes and the rest might only be 1 bright little orange-coloured thingy away.
