Almost to a point of obsession when getting up, I would do any necessary jobs making sure that when the music stopped I could listen to the continual stream of gems emitting from the radio. When it was time to leave home, I always made sure that during the short trip from front door to car there would be music; and the relief of making the car seat, turning on the engine and then the radio by the time Ray was talking again.

I remember him well. I was a newsagent in the 1980's and used to creep around my shop "marking up the papers" early in the morning (my kids were asleep in their bedrooms above) while listening to Ray and smiling a lot. I sent him a birthday request, which he read out, for my mum and her best friend who were like two Molly Sugdens working as cleaners in the local doctors. They looked alike, had the same birthday, but were born 3 years apart - the strangest twins ever! <br />I'm now toasting him with a glass of Macon (flippin Mabel.<br />Thanks for the memories :)Paul Thornhillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615040197959683735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744024699281834535.post-54096565938327969252017-07-01T19:35:59.109+02:002017-07-01T19:35:59.109+02:00Loved his witty takes on everyday words and events...Loved his witty takes on everyday words and events - many of which are a distant memory but occasionally rise to the surface when I see or hear something which brings some of his gems back to mind - like whenever I'm planning a holiday and have to decide whether I want to fly from ' Gatport Airwick' Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083059717286418879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744024699281834535.post-51912872014094010052016-02-01T21:30:19.771+01:002016-02-01T21:30:19.771+01:00Just listening to all the comments on Terry Wogan ...Just listening to all the comments on Terry Wogan and how relaxed his presentation skills were which was true.I have to say however that I have wonderful memories of waking up to Ray Moore and his fantastic presentation skills the equal of Terry's.Ray was my introduction to Radio 2 in my earlier years and I have stuck with it ever since.A shame that the station has now adopted Chris to follow Terry.I don't listen to the breakfast shows any more.T7ppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10373515402355457019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744024699281834535.post-74572080024934486452015-05-22T23:32:26.554+02:002015-05-22T23:32:26.554+02:00God bless you for these posts . .

I used to walk to work on the early shift with my Sony Walkman to ensure I would gather as much daily garbage from Ray as possible . . Has nobody got a recording of him passing comment on Cyndi Lauper's "Like Ray Moore?"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072706355308551217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744024699281834535.post-65966126136830741652015-05-01T10:41:03.109+02:002015-05-01T10:41:03.109+02:00I loved reading all this about Ray Moore.
