Musical inclinations.

   I was very involved in an amateur operatic society for several years in the late '70s and played guitar for a stage production of Tommy in 1978   one of the best experiences ever.

	Some nice Stuff there. Tommy particularly significant. My first date with my wife was to go and see the Premier at Lester Square theatre. Possibly the worst film I've ever seen but the Who still a favourite. Quadrophenia still the best concept album for me. Who's Next or Live at Leeds best straight Album. Tooks my eyes off the Music Scene when the kids came along but as that coincided with the punk scene it was no great loss for me. Put together a few sailing videos over the years, purely for my own or club consumption. The soundtracks, while avoiding the more obvious cheesy ones have captured the spirit (I hope). They call me the breeze - JJ Cale Keep on Truckin - Hot Tuna (some members of Jefferson Airplane) Return of the Los Palmas 7 - Madness Hesitation Blues - Hot Tuna (some members from Jefferson Airplane) Boat Weirdos - Joe Walsh Sail on Sailor - Jim Buffet version (OK, that ones a bit cheesy) Plus a few others.

	What a great song, takes me right back as Frampton Comes Alive was on constant play in the 6th year common room during my A levels.

	My father was an opera singer, which kinda put me off... Some great new music around, but mostly I'm stuck in the 70s and 80s, everything from Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, the Eagles, Bruce Springsteen to Abba and all the 80s pop. Hated the New Romantics stuff at the time, especially the fashions in induced, but time has obviously affected my ears, as some of it sounds good now. The fashions are still crap, though!
