Radio Caroline

We had a nice day’s sail on the river Blackwater yesterday, made more interesting by the discovery of a new guest in the river, Radio Caroline no less.

Back in the 1960s I used to play in a band, and in 1965 we released a record, What you Got, penned by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. I remember relaxing in a bath listening to Caroline on a portable radio when they played the flip-side of the record, a thoughtful and introspective song called Fe Fi Fo Fum…

“Fe Fi Fo Fum, I’m a giant when I hold you close, you’re the baby that I need the most, Fe Fi Fo Fum…”

Well, it was another time…
