10 years since my mum shuffled off this mortal coil. Still feels like yesterday. She was cool when it came to music. My childhood was spent with her blasting classical music into one ear and dad firing jazz into the other. They were both bemused when I gravitated towards shouty guitars. Then dad’s best mate (a jazz drummer) introduced me to Tomita’s ‘Snowflakes Are Dancing’ and I wanted to know all about “synthy-sizers” and who else was making noises with them…
Anyway, enough whisky-fuelled irrelevance; mum loved this song so this is for her…
