The Music of My Life #1

Music has always played an important part in my life.

So many songs bring back so many memories as well, and for that reason, I started to catalogue them under ‘The Music Of my Life’ label. I started to do them but gradually I slowed down and eventually stopped.

However as I’m turning over a new leaf and going to blog regularly, 'The Music Of My Life’ will be an ad-hoc feature that I’ll share with you.

At the moment I’m trying to compile my Top 100 songs – 90% will be songs that I feel I have an emotional connection with, so don’t be surprised if a) They feature in this group of songs b) Some are cheesy!

 Let’s get on – here’s #1 in The Music of My Life’ – not because it’s my favourite, but because it was the first one I thought of.

This album takes me back to the back end of 1975. 

I was in London visiting friends at Victoria Park, and I went shopping in the Roman Road.

I bought a pair of Dr Martens size 9 because they were the only ones they had in the shop. 

I took a size 7, but I wanted them so much I bought them and two pairs of thick socks (you have to remember I was only 15 at the time).

Further along the street, I went into a record shop and saw this album. I wanted it, so I bought it.

The album was written and tells a story of Elton John and Berni Taupin and their story of trying to build a career.

The Dr Martens proved you can be stupid at 15. The album, I love to this day.
