Instead of the usual rabble we get down here in Gunn's Grotto, tonight we're going to try to hold an intimate and civilised gathering,

...'til the night grows nigh'er

So if you consider yourselves sociable, civilised and presentable you are welcome to come down my creaky stairs to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn, tonight - for a twilight session.

"Let's throw it on a weekend
We two, you two, no more
And lounge away a holiday
Like we've never done before."

("You two" Chuck Berry, 1964)

Reading, Writing, 'Rithmatic...those are the three Rs right?

Wrong.
Not in Gunn's Grotto.

Down here the three Rs are Reelin', Rockin' and Rollin'
...and that's what we'll be studying tonight.

If you like these three R's come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight, and join the class.

This Rock And Roll is a
Rock A Beatin Boogie.

You Got Me Reelin and Rockin,
So
Let The Boogie Woogie Roll and Let Me Rock.

This is Feelin' Reelin' Squealin'...

Every now and then, do you sit and wonder... What is the point? 

 Maybe we can help...

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight  - where we'll be looking for answers, and hopefully getting to the point. 

Points on the agenda will include... Friars Point High Point Four Point Point Panic Focal Point Point Blank Turning Point and Breaking Point. 

 Don't Point Your Finger, Point That Thing Somewhere Else.

To avoid disappointment make a point of being here with us... because if you're not, you might be missing the point.

"Together we will stand,

Every boy, girl, woman and man"

... said Wilbert Harrison in 1969.

So tonight in Gunn's Grotto let's test the theory.

Boys, girls, women and men, come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn, tonight 

Charlie K. Shields, Lattie Moore,

Kearney Williams, Muddy Waters, G.L. Crockett, The Big 6, The Shirelles, Brenda Holloway, Martha And The Vandellas, Betty Wright, Wayne Hancock, Ry Cooder,

Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, Jeff Beck and more will be here to...

"make someone happy

make someone smile

let's all work together

and make life worthwhile..."

The war machine starts when a few people  incite or force many other people to kill each other, their families and destroy their homes.

This will make huge profits for a few people.

For a more detailed analysis come through the squeaky door with me Peter Gunn, into Gunn's Grotto, to fully appreciate the folly of the human race.

The World's In A Tangle,
War Is Starting Again,
And we got the War Time Blues.

Everybody's Cryin' Mercy - but they don't know the meaning of the word.
Everybody's cryin peace on earth, just as soon as we win the war.

I recently read a review of Gunn's Grotto which said the fish was very good.

Apart from the tin of pilchards I opened once and then forgot about (which almost certainly contributed to the pong down here) I didn't think we'd had any fish.

So let's give the people what they want...

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight  - for a freakin' fish fest!

Fats Waller Wants Some Seafood,

Wynonie Harris has the Fish Tail Blues,

but Chuck Willis is in the Wrong Lake To Catch A Fish.

The Tropical Fish, The Sorrows,

The Untold Fables, The Churls, The Barracudas, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and other fishy fellows will be found in Gunn's Grotto's Garage tonight.

Alvin Cash & The Crawlers, The Marvelettes, Lamont Dozier, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and others will be fishin' in the Soul Den.

And The Beatles will tell us about Pedro The Fisherman and four of fish and finger pies.

We've got Bigger Fish to Fry,

but The Fish Aint Bitin'.

Pray for the Fish.

In the GG "How To Speak Cockerney" guide  you will learn that the pronunciation of "Sweet", (which in Cockerney means "good"), is "Swayt".

And in tonight's show every track you'll hear will be Swayt.

Know what I mean?

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight - for two hours of Sweet Sweet Music.
 
I've got a Sweet Tooth For My Baby
because She's So Sweet.

Actually she's a Sweet Rockin Mama
and a Sweet Sweet Girl who's Sweet And Easy To Love.

Tonight, we'll Make Sweet Harmony

And that will be...

Swayt.

Out of the box simply labelled "All" comes the playlist for tonight's show from Gunn's Grotto.

And as GG regulars will already know, all of the selections will be great, with the exception perhaps of the odd weird one here and there, which defies classification.

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight - where "All" will be revealed.

All I Wanted was A Free For All,

All Night Long,

So don't leave me Up All Night,

All By Myself.

It's All Too Much...but is it All In My Mind?

All Together Now,

there's Hope For Us All.

We're All Goin' Home,

And That's All...

In the future you can forget going to Benidorm for your holidays.

Instead we'll be going much further afield to find an unspoiled beach which we don't have to share with any other annoying tourists, on a distant planet.

Getting home might not be so easy though.

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight - and don't forget to bring your space suits as well as your bathing costumes.
 
Tonight's space travellers will include Johnny Guitar Watson, Dave Diddle Day, The Equadors, The Buchanan Brothers,
Delsu & The Smarts, The Wildtones
The Moontrekkers, The Baskerville Hounds, The Misunderstood, The Moon Dawgs, Force 5, The Byrds, The Rolling Stones,
The Jon spencer Blues Explosion and many more,

And the The Jive Five will tell us about the People From Another World.

Tonight I can guarantee every single disc spun in Gunn's Grotto will be good.

Really, good...

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight...to hear the good stuff.

Down here,
We'll Have A Good Thing Going On,
Good Times,
and we'll be Feeling Good.

And when The Good's Gone
...we'll be Good And Gone.

and Missing You Real Good.
