ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
Where do I begin?I would say when rock and roll first came into my life...circa 1955, I was 9 years old...until then I listened to mum and dad's collection of LP's which I sorta liked a bit...They liked Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby etc and while I didn't mind a few the rest I found uninteresting.....Then it happened, I was listening to our big valve radio in our lounge room waiting for the serials to start, when I heard "ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK" ....Wow, I thought that is fantastic..To me it sounded like Benny Goodman on steroids. I lived in Brisbane and I suppose we were the last major city to 'get with it'...I can't remember which radio station was first to play rock, but I thought blow my serials as I hunted the dial for more of the same...
