Hello
Christmas is almost upon us and Radio Parkies will have two special (English Section) shows over the holiday period. Chad and Karl (our American DJs) will be doing the Christmas special on Thursday, 22 Dec 2011>/strong>.
Phil (Yorkshire lad) and myself (George) will be doing a New year special on <strong>Thursday, 29 Dec</strong>. It will include a Mastermind spoof with Phil asking difficult questions and me struggling to give the correct answers.
TONIGHT (8 Dec) I shall be sharing my show with our new DJ (Karl Hargrove) who lives in Oklahoma. He is age 38 and like all our DJs he has Parkinson’s. Married to a lady he calls “Ginger” with two children and a Computer. He will be playing some of his favourite music including C&W and Italian Opera. A man for all reasons we welcome Karl to our English Broadcast Section and I’m sure you will as well.
I shall be playing the 50/60.70s hits as is usual and maybe the odd surprise.
I’m on for the first hour followed by Karl for one hour. Show starts as usual at 8pm CET 7pm UK 1pm CST 11am Pacific time.
CET = Central European Time.
CST = Central Standard Time (USA).
Please listen to our show if you can and support us in our battle to make Radio Parkies the No 1 show by Parkinson’s people. We believe that we are the one and only in Europe and possibly the World and have a good chance of winning our battle!!
On behalf of us all at Radio Parkies I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. May 2012 not only be good to you but also to Radio Parkies. We hope that 2012 will be as successful as 2011 and that we can go forward with the confidence that you are supporting us.
Jean-Paul Cremer is the man leading us and he deserves a special mention for all the hard work and hours he does. Without him and Geert Arien (RIP) there would be no Radio Parkies. Thanks JP.

PS. I would also like to wish one of our listeners (my friend Bart) a happy New Year and for him to get well soon.
