My guest on Friday's show was Scott James and great value he was too (this ain't him by the way, that's Ronan Keating.) It gives me a kick when guests are within walking distance of our Stonehaven studio although I have my doubts that Scott did indeed walk, by his own admission his stellar fitness years may be behind him. I can't speak mind you, I'm just back from my holidays having promised myself I'd go running every day and I haven't got off my fat backside so far other than to collect more chocolate from the kitchen cupboard.
Scott's residence in Stonehaven is the result of a steady journey south from his origins in Fraserburgh, or 'the broch' as he called it. He was brought up there and continues to enjoy friendships with a bunch of herberts from the town's football fraternity which he was once part of. He progressed to Stoney via Peterhead and Portlethen and has two young kids at Mill 'O Forest, if they play their cards right they'll get the chance to follow my footsteps into Mackie Academy one day but at least they'll be saved the savagery of corporal punishment 80s style for any misdemeanours. Scott and I discussed my belting at Mackie for the heinous crime of snowballing back in the day but I digress.
The Stoney Baloney show gives guests the opportunity to tell us a little about their lives and their livelihoods too. Scott has his own business, Scott James Wealth Management, which assists people who are looking for guidance on how best to invest their finances, something I believe we could all take advice on, he's very experienced and there's no better fellow to give you honest advice. His musical tastes on the other hand I feel less able to champion given the six tracks he presented to us, I can't expect everybody to be an indie fan but hells bells it'd be nice if just one of his six had a bit of edge to it. I had to play Ronan Keating for goodness sake, how does an aspiring DJ recover his street cred after that? Here's the list of woe in full, a couple of acceptable ones, a couple of borderline efforts and two downright stinkers. You're welcome back to Mearns FM anytime Scott, you're a natural on the radio, but you bring the patter and I'll bring the music.

Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All
