Coming from a large extended family of “musicalists” and singers, most of my junior was spent bearing witness to the songs, the harmony and the real adventures that singin” and strummin” could afford.
So before long and long before the Government felt it was time for me to be properly educated - I already had been; because around about this time, The Beatles came along like a gale force wind blowing past a news stand, flicking through every page along the way. Also walking past the news stand at the time was Spike Milligan, who cursed me with occasional bouts of laughter alone in public places - always guaranteed to brighten up a dreary day. Paul Simon came as a relief, after grey, drizzly lunch hours and long hot summers spent out in the school yard, chewing the fat over with various people, each one individually entertaining, of course! Amongst countless others Frank Zappa or “Uncle Frank” to my family and me, showed up like a spark at a gas station - KaBOom!!!
Guitar music is in safe hands…many thanx SJB| |
