In the Bathroom – Eight Days A Week

The day my copy arrived, my 9-year old looked through it for about an hour — Enough to make an old DJ Dad proud!

She came up to me and exclaimed: “Dad! It says ‘On this day Elvis and Priscilla Presley had a baby exactly nine months after their wedding day!’ Then, I looked back nine months — and that was the day they got married!'”

(Dontcha know tongues wagged back in the day?)

Ron’s book, and I say this as a huge compliment, is the perfect bathroom book!
