Please name that tune

How is it that whenever you hear a song you like on the radio the DJ doesn’t say what it is?

DJs have an annoying habit of forgetting to announce the song they have just played, or the tunes they are about to play.

It is very irritating as the song sticks in your head and you are unable to buy it because you don’t know what it is called.

I have heard people hymning tunes to shop staff, in an attempt to identify them. Although I have to admit I have never done that.

I suppose now we have iTunes we can type in what we think the song is called, to see if we can find it.

Another criticism of DJs is that they talk too much and they only play songs as an afterthought. I won’t mention any names.

But you can tell the presenters who love the music and style the tunes they play around their show.

And, how is it when you listen to the radio in the car, you can wait ages for a good song to come on the radio and it is only when you have reached your destination that the DJ finally plays one.

Meanwhile, Trevor Immleman proved to be a worthy winner of The Masters, even if you had to stay up till 12.30am to watch him clinch the title. I was a bit disappointed that Tiger was not able to put up more of a challenge.
