Dear Charles
 
MORE SONGS ETC

 
Thank you for the call this morning. And Brian’s call this evening. I think I got the message. You want a recording of Video Killed The Radio Star. Well here it is. And also…
 
RWANDA
 
This has gone down very well with my test market this evening. I hope you like it.
 
EUGENE TERRE’BLANCHE
 
Jonathan Linsley keeps nagging me to update this epic from Paula’s run of 1992. As you seem desperate for a different angle on South Africa I thought I’d have a go. Again, the test audience thought it seems very topical and fresh with the few changes.
 
MAD FROGS
 
I was very reluctant to tinker with this one as I feel it is largely topical without change. I have changed the Mostar line into a Gorazde line to reflect the latest news. Note also that the Mogadishu line now reflects more recent events.
 
I’m looking forward to seeing the show on Thursday. I hope this little package is some help. Do get in touch if I can help with anything else.
 
Yours sincerely
 
 
 
 
Ian Harris
