Hi Fidelity, My Life in Music


I was born in 1968 and it's now... I dunno, some years after 1991 I'm sure. This was difficult and also subject to change. No repeats on song or artist meant a huge bottleneck in one area and a right old wasteland in another, or more than one. A bit of an old quilt, warm in places and with a cushion on it in others in case of visitors.
