Time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the week on The Best Time of the Day Show, plus more song choices from the Listener and Lester libraries and witty tales from The Dark Lord.

An early morning mix of music & conversation, including the first Half-Time Hooter of The Week. Also on the Best Time of the Day Show, Alex dips into his own record collection and pulls out The Strawbs and Marcus Bonfanti for Lester's Library - and The Yardbirds feature on Listeners' Library, and there's also the Record and Album of the Week.
