Classic blues and rock

BACK

I was born in Durban, grew up in Joburg at various boarding schools. I was in my late teens when the rock revolution took place, when bands like the Rolling Stones, the Doors, Led Zeppelin, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Grateful Dead and a thousand others started making serious waves. The Beatles had just released "Sgt. Pepper's". It was a whole new world, and it captivated myself and all my friends. I started collecting as much as my limited funds allowed (a cub reporter in the SABC newsroom earned a massive R80-00 a month!), and I still have some of the vinyl I bought in those days
I'm extremely pleased, and grateful, to have been given this opportunity on Radio Today to play my music again. I have a room full of it, just itching to be heard. The patter of Little Feat will once again be heard on South African airwaves! Long live rock! .
