I have written before in admiration of Marty Whelan and his breakfast show on Lyric fm.

And so I am writing again on this subject.

The man is just something of a national treasure in these interesting times.

At least to my mind anyway.

And so I sent off a little electronic communication to the show enquiring (or is it inquiring?) was it possible for the man himself to be cloned?

Alas, it appears not, however it was nice to hear my name on the national airwaves as he confirmed my worst fears.

It’s just that his upbeat mix of silly jokes along with easy listening classical and pop music make for a winning gig.

Not to mention that he is a big fan of the Maestro Ennio Morricone.

Hang in there Marty.
