Jack Ross

[57vintage]

I had a neighbour once - called Jack Ross. My most vivid memory of him was walking behind him on the way hame fae Kittybrewster primary school while he was walkin' hame, presumably fae the mart, wi a huge dead turkey slung over his shoulder, holding it by the legs ... it's head and neck swinging behind him.

Now, Ah canna think o' the Joot boss without drawin' some glarin' comparisons

For some reason I find myself humming the Jack Wilson ad from the early days of 290 MW Northsound. Then again, I often break into a chorus of “Ellis and McHardy….yer local source of warmth”, “Pop into Fraser’s of Ellon”, “For toys and gifts and stationery, the buggest small shop on the Dee, it’s Allan’s of Banchory” or indeed the station’s invite to listen, “From Inverurie, Banchory, Oldmeldrum and Stonehaven, From Peterhead, Aberdeen, with Ellon in between, we want to make you all aware that here on 290, it’s your very own radio show”.

In endless time
In endless art
