Interests
My main interest's in life are my two grown up daughters. They are my life, without them, I am nothing!
My other interests are music (more on that elsewhere) and sport. Watching, not playing. I lost interest in playing when I broke my leg in two places, in a soft ball match. (But thats another story) I enjoy watching most sports. Even those I dont understand. But my passion is football. Real football! (Soccer). My team being West Ham United. (English Premier League)
Music
And so.... On to my music.
My taste are varied to say the least, but mostly centered around rock music in many forms.
In 1969, I was 11 years old. Maybe too young to fully appreciate good music. But I lived a 5min walk from Londons Hyde Park, where there were many free gigs. Its where I first heard the amazing Pink Floyd.
In 1972 I heard/saw them experimenting on a new concept that was to become The Dark Side of the Moon. And from that day I was hooked! I remember I got the album the day it was released, put it on my turntable, put on my headphones, smoke some grass, and be taken to a different place. I don't smoke weed anymore, but when I'm down, the cans go on, put on Dark Side or Wish you were here on, and off I go to a better place.
Away from Floyd, I loved the glam rock of the 70's, the New Romanticism of the 80's and the Brit Indie music of the 90's.
Long Live Rock!!
