| Introduction | Born 1960 in sunny Glasgow-by-the-sea, Scotland. An obsessive music fan with absolutely no musical talent of my own. Currently trying to "understand" music, and, as always, continuing to broaden (or lengthen) my own tastes. The point of this blog will be to try to develop my writing style towards something readable, interesting and concise. I have been contributing informally through the comments sections of a number of blogs for a year or so now, and it is now time to give it a go myself. Most items will be about music, usually individual tracks, which I may love, hate, understand, fail to understand or hold a view for some other reason. Hopefully I can prompt some discussion or further investigation through these items. |
