Farewell to Neil Bull


The Palace threw a rousing Going Away Party for the BBC’s chief technician of their South American broadcasting office here in Miami, Neil Bull. Neil has been here all summer and is such a sweet guy (and super great customer) that all of South Beach’s boys seemed to have shown up. Last week I gave a pool party for him, and my dog, KiKi, treated everyone with a demonstration of The Tango. By the time that pool party was over just about anybody who could stand waltzed over to The Palace to toast him over and over. Few people can out-drink and Englishman, though, and Neil managed to close the place.

Poor Neil is being transferred from South Beach to Bangladesh! There ought to a law against things like that. Like a true Englishman, he is taking it in stride, but I don’t know how.

Neil,

It has been such a pleasure getting to know you over the past month, and it still amazes me that we have a mutual ex-BBC acquaintence! It won't seem like the same pub when you are gone.

Please let me what I need to do to convince your management that we are underserved for proper radio here in the States and that nobody can run the sliders like you ;-)

Cheers mate!

B&T Mark
