I recorded this on a 1955 Philips model el-3510 tape recorder at 3 3/4ips 1/4 inch half track (2 track) tape recorder in 1971.
       My father bought me this tape recorder(Philips) which I treasured, I used it until moving from Witney in the UK to Australia in 1972 where I bought a more Compact Sanyo solid state reel to reel tape recorder with two speeds and the ability to run on batteries.
       The high heat and low humidity damaged the rubber drive belt  in the Philips tape recorder and sadly I scrapped it and my father turned the case into a tool box.
       I made a lot of recordings on it and it was my introduction to music recording which eventually led me to establish a multitrack analog then digital recording studio, now studio/s.
       This was one of the first musical compositions I created on the Philips later digitally cleaned up.
       The piano was my mothers. I was classically trained on piano until I began to like improvisation which did,nt sit well with my Piano teacher Mrs Suter who said she did,nt "teach Jazz" when I asked her.
I then gave up classical piano much to the anger of my father who could,nt see the bigger picture,ie (my progression in music).

This was recorded in 1971 0n a Philips EL35-10 tape recorder (pictured
) it features a Vox guitar borrowed via a friend from Paul Whitehead in Witney in the UK. I'd never had guitar lessons and knew nothing of tuning, but it ended up being open tuned and I played it like a lapsteel. I can't remember if I use a slide of sorts or just my finger/s. I used an old valve radio to play through, I think it had an EL84 amplifier stage in class A (I was into electronics from age 8). I presented the song at Henry Box School in Witney UK as an assignment but refused to perform it live as it was my first guitar song ever and I really felt embarrassed in relation to my playing style.
