MUSIC LIKES: My tastes tend to be wide ranging, in fact, anything that sounds nice to my ears is OK. with me. Would you believe that Jim Reeves, The Beatles, as well as Fats Domino and the Kalin Twins (who are they you ask yourself) are just a few of the artists I like to listen to. In my days as a sound-system operative I obviously couldn't express all my musical tastes where as radio allows you that little bit more freedom. Mind you I feel that running a sound-system did help me in certain aspects of radio broadcasting 'Supertone'' that's the name of the sound, gave me fond memories and gave me a great insight into the entertainment world , still I think sound-system operatives of today have it far easier, some may disagree. Pilot's Top Twenty: Malcolm X, Muhamed Ali, Louis Armstrong, Chaka Zulu, Ralf Abernathy, Bobby Seals, P. Lamumba, Huey P. Newton, Benjamin Banneker, Daniel Haile Williams, Booker T. Washington, Gabiel Prosser, Imi Teck, Bob Marley, Elijah McCoy, Louis Farrakhan, Mary Seacole, Megar Evers, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Martin, Luther King Jr., and Marcus Garvey. (in no order) |

BIOGRAPHY:
|
I find it very hard to begin but when your talking about yourself, let me tell you, it's tough to start. OK. less of the waffle, I'll just give the readers some details about myself. Born in Handsworth, actually on Murdoch Road, those of you who live in Handsworth, will know where it is. School, I attended Rookery Road Infants an Juniors, then went on to Handsworth Wood Boys School. My favorite subjects were maths, English, geography and music. Physical Education was also one of my pastimes, but you can't really call that a subject, could you? When I left school, various directions as to a career went though my mind, I decided on engineering and gained my Mechanical Engineering Certificate in that field, but since being an active community radio broadcaster, new ambitions have taken root and hopefully will flourish. As a Virgo, 29th, of August to be exact, Ha! you thought I'd give the year away, it is said that people born under this sign have good endurance and do not show the ravages of time, well I don't know about that. We are also emotional and determined, on self analysis I would agree with both traits to an extent. HEALTH, I stand 5ft. 10 ins. tall. Weight, 12st. 10lbs. One thing that means more to me than anything is good health, my philosophy is a heathy body, health mind so I watch what I eat. I wouldn't say I was paranoid, pastie & chips goes down quite well. Sleep, I try to get just enough sometimes 3-4 hours this doesn't sound a lot but I perform simple stretching exercises just before I go to bed, I'll swear this helps me sleep well, my belief is quality not quantity. (taken from the PCRL Bulletin magazine No.1)
As well as being the Mr. Talk Back Pilot he is also the male voice on the Black Heroes Past and Present programmes that ran for 5 years at 8pm and repeated again at midnight. It seams that Pilot is a man of very few words when it comes to the PCRL website after all it was HIS idea to have a site and he still has'nt written us one article yet - don't hold your breath readers! The picture above is Pilot & Bro' Bill Duffus ( the 'Wake Up Black Man' author) who helped a lot on the 'Talk-Back' programme. |
