The new Classic FM magazine has a cover CD of Russian music.

A good overall selection, with less duplication from previous cover CDs than is sometimes the case.

In particular, I'm delighted to renew acquaintance with the Concert Waltz no 1 by Glazunov.  It's been a favourite lollipop of mine ever since my youth, when it was quite a popular piece and was played now and again on Alan Keith's 100 Best Tunes.  But in recent times it seems to have fallen out of favour.

If you fancy a good, middlebrow Romantic wallow in a not-too-hackneyed piece, this could be for you.

Terribly disappointing. I was thinking more along the lines of a lollipop on the cover of the CD...

No, I'm not a complete idiot. I'm only a halfwit. In fact I'm actually a catfish.

I was meaning lollipop in the Beechamesque sense of the word.

Talking of lollipops, I was in my usual Saturday morning R2 place today listening to Sounds of the Sixties and, believe it or not, they played Max Bygraves' When You Come to the End of a Lollipop.  Awful really, but I went all sort of nostalgic upon hearing it.

Legend has it that the harmonica on Millie's version was played by Rod Stewart. But legend is an unreliable historical source.

 "Contrary to legend, the harmonica player was not Rod Stewart but Pete Hogman of The Pete Hogman Blues Band and Hoggie & The Sharpetones. Hogman told us: "The backing for 'My Boy Lollypop' was recorded live in the studio. I played harmonica and Ernest Ranglin played a black Gibson. Several people have claimed to have played the harmonica break but I can promise you it was me, and it was all recorded in London. By the way, Rod Stewart has never claimed to have played that solo, in fact he has said it was me in the Bob Marley life story Catch A Fire."
