I love pop music, and was delighted to hear presenter Carl Wastie announce on Saturday morning in his award-winning show Top40SA that 13 South African songs made it onto the Top 40 List, of which six songs made the Top 10 list, and Mathew Gold’s local song ‘Burn’ made it into the number one slot! Kfm is making a special effort to promote South African music by playing only local songs in ‘SA Royalty’ from 22h00 – 24h00 every evening.
Saturday 2 May 2020, Day 2 of Level 4 Lockdown, after 35 days of Level 5 😷
Corona Gratitude 🙏
#Grateful for starting the day with a 90 minute walk, up to Glen Beach, with far fewer walkers and joggers and more cyclists, and few Cliftoners; for long chats to Jan de Wet, Haakon and Thomas Bauerkämper, and Shelley on the way, just getting back home in time; for feeling more comfortable and less claustrophobic in wearing my masks, being grateful to not have to wear lipstick and for them hiding most of the wrinkles 😱 ; for the lovely mist this morning, making for unusual photographs compared to all my sunshine ones up to now; for having a little terrace garden, to which I could pay some attention before the rain comes; for being able to buy the last figs at The Olive Branch Deli at Lifestyle on Kloof, popping into Woolies, and getting a treatment at my podiatrist in Sea Point, only my third car trip in 37 days; for my favorite song ‘Burn’ by Mathew Gold making number one on Kfm’s Top 40 this morning, with six SA songs in the Top 10, and 13 SA songs in the Top 40. Bravo Kfm and Martin Myers, who are doing so much to promote local music, on radio in particular 👏👏👏; for 145 Restaurants on the Take-Away Food Delivery List, with over 1800 members; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →
