“O.M.G. I was working on this very show exactly SEVEN years ago today’” I say to Dave Wrong yesterday on the anniversary of DJ Reel’s passing, shellshocked by the memory.

And – let’s face it – I am also a little bit shellshocked by the fact I have been working on this show for SO long…

“Were you?” says Dave.

“Yes, it was me and Gary, I remember it vividly” I recount. “News broke at lunchtime. We tore up all the prepared material and did a special tribute show”

“Really? I just can’t remember it at all.  I liked Reel, he was a nice guy wasn’t he?  Hard to get to know but a good guy” says Dave.

I warm. Then…

“By the way, I’ve been working with Gary for THIRTY YEARS” he adds. “Seven years is NOTHING!” he says.

Oh.
