I was privileged to be a teenager during the seventies, a time in history when the best music was written, recorded and performed by the best musicians on the planet. Bands such as Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Queen, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd, to name but a few, were ruling the record stores and airwaves. And, oh boy, there was a lot of them and I ate it all up! I had an insatiable appetite for it all. Apart from being a qualified geologist during my working career, the subject matter I had the most knowledge about have always, and will always be, seventies music. I never learned it, I lived it.

I grew up in South Africa, a very conservative society at the time, and where music, amongst other things, was strictly censored. However, if ever you want to risk waving a red flag in front of a bull, you just have to tell a teenager not to do this or listen to that. Amongst these banned songs were Spanish Train by Chris De Burg and Sugarman by an unknown artist called Jesus (Sixto) Rodrigues - or something; nobody was sure but we were going to listen to it.

My generation was part of what happened to Rodrigues and his music in South Africa during the late seventies and is the stuff legends are made off. The full story was beautifully portrayed in the 2012 documentary film Searching for Sugarman, written and directed by Malik Bendjelloul.

The collection of Rodrigues songs I have recorded here will never compete with the originals by Sixto, neither was it the intention. I am retired now and have the time to indulge in doing the things I like to do. This is just my way to, and in my own style, re-kindle a past when music was great, but mostly to pay homage to one of the greatest song writers of our time.
