Has sadly passed away today. I always enjoyed his afternoon drive time programme on Radio 2 when on my way home. His humour and interaction with "Sally Traffic" were always worth listening to. His wife Tiggy reckons there'll be a big New Year party going on with all those departed musicians &c. whose music he loved.

RIP JW. Listened to him on Radio Caroline, very good jock.
Always a quiet couple of days for us as Heathers brother passed away in Benin when he was39, the first we knew was a telephone call from the Dutch Consulate out there whom they were staying with at 0300 our time New Years day 30 years ago. RIP Jim.
At the time our 3 youngsters were still at home so the next morning I went over to his Mum's to break the news - one of the worst tasks ever.
Live every day don't cruise.

Indeed RIP Johnnie Walker. I also listened on Caroline in the 60s. There are very few left that are anywhere near as good.
I was with my girl friend's parents on NYE 42 yrs ago. Her father had a coronary that morning, died on the floor in front of me despite CPR.
Yes live every day, don't cruise.

Johnnie Walker kept me sane when I was driving far too many miles. If I could be in the car when he started at 5pm and home before he concluded at 7pm, it was a good day.
And the banter with Sally Traffic was awesome.

Liked to listen to JW on Sunday afternoons whilst tinkering in the garage, some months ago I worked out how to 'tape' R2 on the tv satbox thing, so we're gradually listening to a sort of catch-up indoors
RiP JW a proper DJ
