I can't ever remember Time for Brass falling on St. Valentine's Day before, though I suppose it must have done — so it seemed far too good a pretext for a themed programme on the subject of love.
The main problem was that there was far too much material available for the choosing ever to be easy.
However, the choosing has been done and I hope there are not too many disappointing omissions. I accept that the ladies among my listeners may feel that the selections are too male biased but there you go, it was an unreconstructed male who made them!
Happy Valentine's Day to all Manx Radio's listeners.
