The melancholy instrumental 'Sleepwalk' was a particular favourite of Peel and received regular airings over the years.
:"This is something I used to play to myself whenever I was feeling homesick when I lived in Dallas, Texas millions of years ago." (20 September 1982).
The instrumental "The Long Walk Home", a track that delivered a similar emotional punch, was one of his picks for the 1960 Peelenium.
