Presenter asks
0:37Have you ever daydreamed about being a female Robinson Crusoe?
Well, I've often thought I'd like to be alone, not necessarily on an island.
Presenter asks
0:46What would you be happiest to have escape from?
Uh people I think. All of them? No no no not all.
Presenter asks
0:55What would you want music to do for you on a desert island? Evoke the past? Bring you great performances? Cheer you up?
Well, uh I've chosen records of music that I could really live with … because I'm not a great record collector. Um we spend our lives making music … but if I found myself on an island without any music, that I couldn't bear.
