Johnnie Walker retires from radio

 

After 58 years on the radio, Johnnie Walker is about to retire. He is ,after, all 79 years old and is suffering from pulmonary fibrosis. I remember all those drive time shows he presented on Radio 2 from 1998. I actually looked forward to the drive home with Johnnie on the radio. My most vivid memories are those classic rock songs that he insisted on playing in full. From Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody to Telegraph Road by Dire Straits, Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Peter Frampton's Show Me The Way. Happy retirement Johnnie.
