(JP: 'This'll have them sitting up and begging for eggs at Peel Acres.')
(JP: 'Dare we hope for an LP? I've written to Egg Records in Hollywood suggesting one or two titles that she might like to "cover."')
(JP: 'I sometimes find myself, while I'm doing the programmes, (wishing) that we could get more German bands into the studios to record sessions for us because I think that the best of them are still not afraid to go for the jugular, unlike a lot of British bands at the moment, so I'm particularly pleased that we've got X-Mal Deutschland on tonight.')
(JP: 'I'm still working me way through the Dizzy Gillespie book, which is....To Be, Or Not...To Bop. Just as well that Peter The Great didn't make any records, really, seeing as I've just finished reading about him.')
(JP: 'Let me leave you with yet another African proverb sent to me by Phil McCormack of Liverpool: "A son-in-law who respected his mother-in-law too much one day will run away with fish." Exactly.')
