At the moment I was born, Bob Holness was on Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio Brighton.

On BBC1, it was Hold Down a Chord
Fingerpicking
John Pearse shows a group of friends how to ' pick ' melodies in the style of four famous American folk guitarists. This week it's The Rev Gary Davis and ' Candy Man'


There's a good chance BBC2 has closed down for the night.

I was born at about 6:00am so the first show broadcast on BBC One in my lifetime was a repeat of Jim Henson's Animal Show.
