Episode 2 of The Benny Cash show aired 8/11/09

Thoroughly into my groove, confidence sky high and nerves were buried in the trenches of the Somme. Remembrance Sunday on the show, many a dedication to the troops from the bygone era to the present day conflicts in Afghanistan. Very solemn and bleak -especially as the recording failed outright. Read out Siegfried Sasson's vivid war poetry in between the playlist. News quirks about Alan Stamford having his knighthood revoked due to fraud, and the Large Hadron Collider addled by a piece of falling baguette causing a gas leak and several months worth of set backs.

Then courtesy of a friend the night before, a suggestion of a 'Rap' dedicated to the Great David Haye after his victory over the Russian 'Beast from the East' Nikolai Valuev should be featured on the Benny Cash Show - It was done, to such a success that I was asked to repeat it so it could be filmed (by Datis) and featured - as it is now - on the radioMK facebook site, as well as my own. This has since sparked a trend of imitators and 'free-stylers' on the Station, a bench mark that will not easily be met.

A beaming Charles congratulated me on the show and I was granted the thursday 4-6 slot which he branded 'Time out With Benny Cash'

The path to stardom continues...
