The first music I fell in love with was rock and roll.
Elsie Bower, my mum's friend gave me my first "mixtape" when I was about 6.
An AGFA C90.
No inlay card.
So, no tracklisting.
The only writing on the tape:
"For Michael".
I had no idea who the artists were.
I had no idea what the songs were.
For years I knew some of these monumental tracks as:
'You Shake My Nerves And You Rattle My Brain'
'Warden Through A Party'
'One, Two, Three O'Clock'
'I Got A Girl With A Record Machine'
'Hey Mama Don't You Treat Me Wrong'
.

I had so much to learn.
