Like most of us the first music I listened to was my parents'. I'm the oldest so I didn't even have the influence of an elder sibling. I didn't really listen to anything that might be in the charts until I got to secondary school. The impact of Bob Dylan on my life deserves its own post. My dad was a big fan. And I mean Big Fan. My sister is named after the song Visions of Johanna. Guess who my brother is named after? Both my parents were into The Beatles. My mum saw them in concert in 1964 when she was fourteen. Pretty cool. The song that got me thinking about this post is The Actor by the Moody Blues. I don't know anything at all about music but I do like a weird album and In Search of the Lost Chord is a weird album. The Actor is my favourite mostly just because I find the line "The sound I have heard in your hello" unbearably romantic. Hotel California by The Eagles was a favourite of my dad's to play on guitar. That and House of the Rising Sun. He was in a rock against racism…
