Extractions: Index of Titles David Wendell Guion was born in Ballinger, Texas, on 15 December 1892 to John I. and Armour Fentress Guion. His earliest musical influences included the cowboy culture of his rancher father and the songs of his family's African-American household servants. Piano studies took Guion to Vienna, Austria, in 1912 to study with Leopold Godowski at the Royal Conservatory of Music, but he was forced to return to Texas in 1914 by the onset of World War I. Guion supported himself by teaching and composing and moved to New York in 1929. There an association with publishers G. Schirmer, Inc. brought new popularity for his arrangements of cowboy songs and spirituals. His biggest hit, "Home on the Range," emerged from his New York production Prairie Echoes.

Extractions: Music Programmes Concert Hour : The hour was between noon and 1pm, on weekdays on the Home Service from March 1946 to December 1964, when music was commonplace on the Home Service - as opposed to the much rarer event which it is today. Grand Hotel : started in 1925 and was, to quote the Radio Times of the era, ' Music of the Palm Court Orchestra' . It featured Jack Byfield, Max Jaffa and a different singer each week. Vanessa Lee was a favourite of the programme, but many other operatic sopranos were also invited to appear. The series ran for a number of years and was generally broadcast live, usually from the Concert Hall at Broadcasting House but occasionally on location. It lapsed for a couple of years before returning for its final series in 1951 when it was pre-recorded and introduced by Tom Jenkins with the Palm Court Orchestra and guest baritone Alfred Swain. The programme's signature tune was Strauss's 'Roses from the South'. Introduction Make Way for Music : A slice of daytime entertainment from the Light Programme with singer Sheila Buxton accompanied by the Northern Dance Orchestra conducted by Alan Ainsworth. Memories for You : requested tunes played in strict tempo by Victor Sylvester's Ballroom Orchestra in a series heard on both Light and Home services.

Extractions: Ron Goodwin Ron Goodwin was born on 17th February 1925 in Plymouth. He was the son of a London policeman who was detached to the harbour-town. His mother felt that piano lessons would be a good pastime, so in his fifth year, the little Ron was hoisted onto a piano-stool and his education on this instrument began. Ron himself was at that time not really convinced about that parental ambition. In 1934 his father's detachment ended and the family moved back to London. Ron went for his elementary education to the Willesden County Grammar school, situated in the North-West of London. In the school an orchestra was set-up and Ron got slowly attracted by music. It fascinated him, that all these young people were playing different instruments but that the result was very harmonious.

Extractions: Dick Wellstood Hanging with Dick Wellstood - by Grant Simpson Dick Wellstood was a true original and a personal (pianistic) hero of mine. I met Dick in 1984 through sheer audacity - a kid in my early 20's. I had a house gig at the Chez Michelle Restaurant in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. It was my house gig for just over three years. One of the perks that was offered to me was the opportunity to help produce "Jazz Weekends" which the club owner said I could help organize with players of my choice. I first heard Dick a few years before when I was in my teens. I was an instant fan and follower. So after I settled into my new gig, I picked up the phone and in turn phoned my three main piano hero's: Dave McKenna, Dick Wellstood and Ralph Sutton. It was one of the great honours of my life to meet and hang out with these great men. All three of these men treated me so kindly and I learned so much from them. I have nothing but great fond memories for each one of them, but with Dick, there was an instant connection. Hanging with Wellstood is one of my fondest memories - period. Over the course of six days, we spent a lot of time together. We went for lunch and dinner every day. He came to hear me play every evening from Monday to Thursday (Dick played Friday and Saturday night). He critiqued my playing every night, gave me exercises and good solid advice. One of my favourite memories of this is the first night he heard me play. After I had finished my first set, he said. "Nice, nice. Yeah.....you sound a lot like McKenna at times." I asked him if he had any suggestions. He said, "Yeah, you should listen to me more". (He was right, and I have!)
