Why worry? Be happy!

That's what they say, and it makes a lot of sense because worrying won't change anything, so why do it?

Tonight in Gunn's Grotto we're going to try to get it out of our systems - two hours of worrying and then no more,

Right?

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight 
...to free our worried minds.

Hello Mr Worry,
Something Is Worrying Me.

I got the Worried Life Blues,
I Feel So Worried,
I'm Worried All The Time.

I must be The Worrying Kynde.

I'm Worried 'Bout You.
and There's No Rest For The Worried.

...Don't Worry Baby.

Are you satisfied?

In my experience satisfaction is what we are often promised but don't always get.

In Gunn's Grotto tonight we are surrounded by Satisfied and Dissatisfied customers and some who Can't Get No Satisfaction, and will Never Be Satisfied.

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight,

...Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Are You Satisfied?

I'd Be Satisfied

I'm Satisfied

I'm So Satisfied...

I Hope You're Satisfied 

I'm the Satisfying Kind.

When Beach Boy Brian Wilson finally plucked up the courage to break out of his "bed years" in the 1970s and go with his therapist to a Los Angeles cinema, he was immediately plunged back into extreme paranoia on hearing the film's opening line... "good evening Mr Wilson".

And hearing Bob Dylan's references to "Mr Jones" in "Ballad Of A Thin Man", did not improve Rolling Stone Brian Jones' paranoia.

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight Sunday, where we hope the many Misters down here will not cause any problems.

And tonight Mister Kite is topping the bill.

The only way to find out what's happening in Gunn's Grotto is to come down...tonight!

I'm Peter Gunn and even I don't really know until I open the boxes and see what's in there.

But I can predict one thing,
It'll be good...

No, Great!

So come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight Sunday from 6-8 pm UK time, repeated Tuesday same times, and Wednesday and Saturday from 2-4am, on Trash Can Radio...because Tonight's The Night, and Night Time's The Right Time.

"Well, down in the basement is a crazy spot
We got a sweet little hole where the shit is hot
I said we got to rock on! Keep on pushing it on! Let's all just rock a while! Come on!"

("Shaking Rock'N'Roll Tonight" The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, 2017)

Daddy, Please Don't Go Out Tonight...

In 1958 Larry Williams recorded Bad Boy (which was later covered by the Beatles) but The Jive Bombers had already hit with the same title in 1957.

Same title, different song.

This dual, or even multiple use of song titles happens a lot in popular music as you will hear in tonight's show.

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight 

...for a two hour demonstration of dually designated ditties.

As well as Bad Boys, we will encounter...

Trains To Nowhere, Misery and the No Sleep Blues.

And we can look forward to at least one track by Orange Seaweed.

Whatcha Gonna Do About It?

Come on, 

Let It All Hang Out!

I mean who, on their journey from child to adult, hasn't asked themselves at some point "will I dig the same things that turned me on as a kid" ?

Tonight in Gunn's Grotto we'll be asking that question and lots more kid related stuff in a show targeting the younger generation.

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight,

...for two hours of child friendly radio.

Amongst a whole herd of kids we will be joined by...

John's Children,

Eternity's Children,

Yesterday's Children,

Society's Children,

A Child Of Panoptes, 

...and the Children Of The Sun.

Come On Children,

The Kids Are Alright.

Tonight our attention is firmly focused below the knee.

Boots, Shoes, Sox, Sneakers, Plimsolls, High Heels, Python Boots, and Footwear in general will all feature in tonight's show.

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight ...and Take A Walk In My Shoes. 

You will hear

"These boots are made for walkin',

and that's just what they'll do"

but not by Nancy Sinatra.

and we're definitely not going to hang up our Rock and Roll Shoes.

You Can Bet Your Boots.

Hello World...

That's what we're saying in Gunn's Grotto tonight.

And maybe if there were more Hello's, perhaps even followed by sitting down together with a cup of tea for a chat,

...we could begin to make a better world.

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight,

...and say Hello.

Hello Who's There?

Hello Miss Jessie Lee, Mary Lou, Suzie, Mary Lee and My Girl Josephine,

and Hello Beethoven.

Hello Bill,

Hi Ella Guru,

Hello Baby,

Can I Say Hello?

Hello It's Me.
