As a youngster, on many occasions I would delve into my mothers record collection ( The Beatles, Moody Blues, Spencer Davis Group, Traffic & the Walker Brothers dominated ). She probably had 80 to 100 albums, not bad going for the time. None of them were dated past 1976. Infact over the past 30 years she’s probably bought 5 Cds ( she definitely owns Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1, quite a good album I think, still waiting for vol 2. Parachutes is in there as well, nice enough I suppose… ). I’ve often asked why she stopped bothering with music. I came along and her prorities changed apparently. Rubbish. Not having it.

My point is quite simple. Since my girl arrived I’m hearing music everywhere. She’s my number one love, but music will always be there. I, and she, wouldn’t have it any other way!
