Is this possible to make an interview with you about "old times" in Radio Luxembourg or at least I would like to ask you for help in collecting materials to my movie (recordings, photographs) related with Radio Luxembourg. Amazing ain't it? When the time came I also listened on satellite, who can forget the jingle "Music at the speed of light, from the Astra satellite, Radio Luxembourg"? I must of been 11 years old; I am 46 now. I managed to get a t-shirt
