Do You Remember The First Time?
That was a wonderful couple of hours with a theme of 'nostalgic songs' which really seemed to capture people's imagination. It seems it's not just the songwriters who are inspired by thinking about the good old days.
One of the things I love about Get It On is that we have a brilliant community of regular listeners who seem to come up with new suggestions every night regardless of the theme.
However it's always good to welcome new members into the group so tomorrow night our regulars get a night off as we do 'first time Friday' for all the folk who have never had a request played on the show before. I'm still expecting you to listen in though and who knows, the suggestions of our first timers might even surprise and delight the old hands...

I've given some thought as to what you might like to request and I've come up with:
"Feels Like The First Time" - Foreigner
Its theme friendly and I think BB has a soft spot for this sort of thing. Might even be a show opener.
As you'll see on this clip, they still have it and if I'm not mistaken, it could be Glen Eric on lead guitar.
