True story:

In my later college years (ca.1978-79), I was taking my trash out to the the apartment house's dumpster. When I lifted the lid and looked inside, I saw a grocery sack full of old reel-to-reel tapes. Well hell, they followed me home, so I had no choice but to keep 'em...

Upon listening, it turned out that they were almost all filled with portions of Music Till Dawn shows. Had no use for those, but the tape itself came in handy for taping then-impossible-to-find LPs off my buddies who had better collections...

For a good while there, Unity & Members Don't Get Weary had a place in my home on a former Music Till Dawn tape. Seemed more than just to me.

In those days, the BBC used to close down at 2AM. On the night shift I was working in the mid-sixties, we'd turn over to a French station for our "music till dawn" - or at least, until the Beeb came on again.

Seldom knew what was being played, because the French DJs spoke too darned fast for me to translate using schoolboy French. But one Friday morning, they played what I guessed (though I'd never heard him before) was a John Coltrane album - and the whole of it. After I'd got paid, I rushed down to the jazz/blues specialist shop and waited for them to open. When I got inside I said, "I've just heard something I'm sure was Coltrane, but I don't know what it was. It went on forever, though."

"Oh, they all do," said Ken, the proprietor. "It was probably this new one, 'A love supreme'," and he played it. And so it was.

Now THAT'S PROPER music till dawn!
