Great music in my life.

I absolutely loved Cream...immence influence on me...never heard anything like them, Bruce, Clapton, Bakerr...


Fresh cream, the Album I bought....stuffed down the drain in the road outside by the girl I jilted,as i took on a new life...

Looking back...foolish...cruel..but wanted change in my life, and so it happened........

Grew up with Motown, played in our youth club. Later years, Pink Floyd (love) and Queen (love, love).................plus too many others to mention.

Thank you, graciously, James B..

Early days, loved Tommy Steele...my Mum knitted me a jumper like Tommy wore in "The Duke Wore Jeans"..
My pal had an Auntie about a mile away who had a radiogram...and a record of "singing the blues", well, worth that walk once a week!,

I'm old enough to have seen some of the Greats of the early sixties. I remember seeing a one night tour at the Granada Harrow where the Rolling Stones closed the first half with (I think) Roy Orbison topping the bill.

Loved the Beatles, saw them in a Liverpool Christmas show use the word saw as I never heard a note they played so much screaming.

Favourite all time album has to be Paul Simons "Graceland" every track superb.

I also saw the Beatles performing in Cardiff Capitol Theatre in December 1965 .
It was the the opening night of what was to be their last tour of the UK.
Like Stowie39 - once the curtains opened, I couldn't hear what they were singing .
The screaming and hysteria from the audience , made them completely inaudible , and I had a front row seat ( courtesy of my sister , who worked for the rank organisation who owned the theatre).
I was 14 years old at the time - and decided that night , if I did nothing else with my life - I would definately go into the music business.
Watching the fab 4 , realising that were earning good money for having fun, and seeing the female adulation for them , convinced me that this was a good career choice.

Loved Dire Straits...saw them at the NEC...incredible guitar from Knopfler...opened with "calling Elvis".,.perfect!,

Incredibly I made sure wife and I and daughter left early to avoid car park crush....missed "Brothers in Arms"!!!!!

Blimey .. there`s some old sods on here.
But also some good music.
