    Watched a good piece about Walker on BBC with former Radio Caroline DJ Roger Day. It sounds like they had a great time during their pirate radio days, although it didn’t do that great financially. Still, I would have loved to have done that! R.I.P. Johnnie Walker.

    Very sad, worked with him many times and was a great broadcaster and a good friend.  In the 70'w we worked on the Motown Story together, which after broadcast turned into a very popular club attraction.
