 From my earliest years I liked all sorts of music. Around the house I found 78 records of jazz folk and blues. I was very struck by Big Bill Broonzy - no one played like that on the radio. Even when very young I would ask for Ella Fitzgerald records to be played, (only I called her Elephant Gerald). Soon I was buying records,The Beatles were a revelation, but I also got into folk, soul, blues and Mr Dylan.
