"On September 21, 1971, The first edition of the new BBC TV music show 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' was aired. Presented by Richard Williams, the show included; film clips of Jimi Hendrix from Monterey Festival playing 'Wild Thing', Bob Dylan playing 'Maggies Farm', plus America and Lesley Duncan 'live' in the studio. The influential show went on to enjoy a run from 1971 to 1987. According to presenter Bob Harris, the programme derived its name from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before. When they got the first pressing of a record they would play it to people they called the old greys—doormen in grey suits. The songs they could remember and whistle, having heard it just once or twice, had passed the old grey whistle test."

Never heard of the show, guess it was just a BBC show and if aired in US would have been PBS. Never went to PBS for music shows. Great Lynyrd Skynyrd song though.

SGT (Join to see) Funny, way back when PBS was what we turned on for good kids shows but not much else. Times have changed, most of what we watch now is on PBS...........or perhaps we're in our second childhood.
