When I was a lttl'un at the turn of the 60's, I used to spend time occasionally with my aunt Wyn. Not a lot happened there. But she had a huge wooden Grundig radiogram in the corner of the lounge, and deep in the depths were a handful of 45's. Nothing I heard before, but as I was fascinated by 45's, I played them. Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters,
Little Richard, Bo Didley. Eye opening. Where had they come from? They belonged to my 10 years older cousin Neil Hook. An Old Varndeanian who recently turned 80 and was likely known to some on here. Sadly he passed away on Wednesday and this song is my little RIP tribute to the teenager who opened my ears to other music outside of the BBC Radio Light programme. RIP Neil.
