De hoogste nieuwe
binnenkomer op nummer 32 is de man van de TROS tunes : André Moss met Ella.
De treiterschijf van vorige week is de op één na hoogste binnenkomer. De
kanskaart van Ted Bouwens zegt me niet zoveel. De andere kanskaarten zijn overbekend.
Op 18 in de Troef 20 staat Chi Coltrane. Vorige jaar op de radiodag vertelde
ze dat ze wel 's aan boord van de MEBOII was geweest. De treiterschijf van
deze week geeft duidelijk aan dat het karnaval eraan zit te komen. Binnen een
paar weken zal de Top 50 bol staan van karnavalsmuziek. Deze Top 50 kun
je hier beluisteren: En als extraatje de Onder de TOP 50 kun je de herinneringen van Michael
Downing lezen uit de tijd dat deze Top 50 werd uitgezonden. |

The RNI memories
of Michael Downing for this period The Kanskaarten
were certainly less obscure by the beginning of 1974 - I can remember all of
them, although you only hear Ted Bouwens' Kanskaart from this week on Bert van der
Laan's Tipparade shows
these days. My RNI diary for this weekend: Friday 4 January 1974 Rob Eden, Brian McKenzie, Gerard Smit and Hans Molenaar all go
off on shore leave today and Marc van Amstel, Hans
ten Hooge, Don Allen and Robin Banks return to the Mebo 2. Marc van Amstel takes
over Buitengaats this evening and International
Service programmes are: 20.00 Mike Ross (Toppers 20) 22.00 Brian McKenzie (Rock'n'roll
Special) 24.00 Don Allen 2.00 Robin Banks 4.00 - 6.00 Skyline The Toppers 20 replaces the previous Top
30 and, in addition to the singles Top 20, there is an LP Top 10, although
this is not in any particular order. Also, there are no station hitpicks any longer, although there is still a Smash Play.
Mike Ross says that this new chart will last all of 1974. Today is Cass the Cook's wedding day and
guests at the wedding include Rob Eden and Brian McKenzie. Newsreader during the pre-recorded Rock'n'roll Special is Don Allen. Saturday 5 January 1974 The Troef 20 is
not played in any particular order in this afternoon's Driemaster.
International Service programmes are: 20.00 Mike Ross 22.00 Don Allen (Country'n'Western
Jamboree) 24.00 Robin Banks 2.00 Mike Ross 4.00 - 7.00 Skyline Don Allen says that he has heard people
say that RNI will be closing down, but he knows nothing about it and nor does
anybody else on the Mebo 2. Sunday 6 January 1974 Apart from the Treiterschijf,
the records that I have heard most on RNI over the past week have been: Donny Osmond - When I fall in love Charlie Rich - The most beautiful girl New Seekers - You won't find another fool
like me Frank Sinatra - Let me try again Gary Glitter - I love you love me love Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody Alice Cooper - Teenage Lament '74 Astrid Nijgh - Ik
doe wat ik doe Wally Tax - Miss Wonderful Stealers Wheel - Star Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Billy Paul - Thanks for saving my life Leo Sayer - The
Show must go on Wizzard
- I wish it could be Christmas everyday Melanie - Will you love me tomorrow Roy Wood - Forever The Driemaster
LP show lasts only one hour today. International Service programmes
are: 20.00 Mike Ross (Hitback
Show) 22.00 Graham Gill (Request Show) 24.00 Rob Eden (Contemporary Music) 2.00 - 3.00 Don Allen RNI closes down at 3.00am for work on the
insulators. Don Allen reads news during the recorded Request Show and
Contemporary Music Show. The hitback cometition is reinstated in the hitback
show this evening. Monday 7 January 1974 RNI’s campaign to stay on the air is now
hardly mentioned on the air at all, despite the Eerste
Kamer meeting next week. Marc van Amstel mentions it and plays “Mozart 40”, RNI’s first
Smash Play, but otherwise nothing. Tonight’s programme
schedule is: 20.00 Mike Ross 22.00 Robin Banks 1.00 Don Allen 4.00 -6.00 Skyline Mike Ross says that they are now using
the smaller studio and are likely to do so “for about the next year”. Tuesday 8 January 1974 Hans ten Hooge
goes off on the tender and Hans Molenaar returns to
the Mebo 2. Marc van Amstel
stays on Buitengaats. Tonight’s Skyline programme is presented by Louise. Wednesday 9 January 1974 It is not being revealed who Louise, the
new host of the Skyline programme, is. Robin Banks has
received a letter that was clearly not intended for him. He says that, if the
writer would like to send him their name and address, he will return it. Hans
Molenaar says that if the new Barend
Servet record does not make the Top 50, he will
leave RNI. Thursday 10 January 1974 Better reception today than yesterday,
but still quite poor. A whistle develops over the medium wave signal at about
22.45, which persists. Friday 11 January 1974 Marc van Amstel
and Mike Ross go off on shore leave and Graham Gill and Gerard Smit return. Hans Molenaar now
takes over on Buitengaats and Dutch service news is
read by Hans Molenaar, Marc van Amstel
and Gerard Smit during the day. International
service programmes this evening are: 20.00 Graham Gill (Toppers 20) 22.00 Brian McKenzie (Rock’n’roll
Special) 24.00 Don Allen 2.00 Robin Banks 4.00 – 6.00 Louise (Skyline) Don Allen reads the news in the
pre-recorded Rock’n’roll Special. Again the whistle
starts over RNI’s medium wave signal at about the same time as last night,
presumably being caused by another station. Then these were the new records that I
heard RNI play for the first time during the week commencing 5 January 1974:
