My Music Diary

This is a work in progress!!!

So far goes up to August 1983.

Feel free to have a browse, but I’ll be finishing it soon!

My music collection works for me as a diary, or a photograph album, do for other people.

I only have to hear the opening bars from certain tracks, and memories, involving sounds, images, smells, tastes and emotions come flooding back.

As I’ve entered some of my favourite music onto this site, I’ve often explained why the track is important to me.  This page is an attempt to put those memories into some sort of chronological order, hence creating a musical diary.

Click on the links below, (in the Memory column) to see any individual entry.

Also on each page you will find this link to the next entry in chronological order.
From this page it will take you to the first entry.
