The Music Of My Life 20

In 1990, I lost a lot of money and a business, and needed to start again. The only thing I had left was my record collection, and I made the decision to sell them on a market.

In 1991, I bought a stall and started buying and selling, using my own records as the initial stock.

Once I was known to the market traders, I started getting work painting signs for other traders.

I shared a big shed where I used to keep my market stock and I used to paint there on the days I wasn't doing markets.

The 'Portrait of Ella Fitzgerald' and Carly Simon's, My Romance' albums became my soundtrack to painting signs that year.

I must have played them over and over again. Here are some photos of my market stall and some of my signs painted that year.

And hear a couple of songs from those albums:
