April meme, days to 21 to 28
I've not been online much in the last week or so. Partly good weather drawing me out into the world, partly lockdown inertia. And when I was online... I just did a quick scan of my flist and didn't post. Outcome? Lots of catching up to do on the meme.
21. What's the best concert you've ever been to?
I am not a music listener, so have not been to many concerts. I went to see The Rolling Stones at Wembley in 1982. That was very forgettable - too big to see properly, I might as well have been listening to the LP. I went to Glastonbury a couple of times around the same time, but it was the atmosphere of the place I enjoyed, rather than the music. But it was nice sitting in front of the tent, on the hill, with a good view of the pyramid stage. I saw Steeleyespan and Lindisfarne at The City Hall in the late 70s. *thinks*
I think the best concert I ever went to as when I saw Alexis Korner in a small club in Edinburgh. It was an intimate space and we sat at a table close to the small stage. It was a very enjoyable and relaxed evening.
22. Do you need money to be happy?
No; it is quite possible to be rich and miserable, but I do need money to be comfortable.
23. What is something you do well?
I don't do anything as well as I would like to. When I worked, I was very good at my job, but I retired in the middle of lockdown and am still trying to work out what comes next and what I do now. Once I work that out, I'll do my best to do it well... Or at least... I'll do it.
24. How do you find new music?
See question 21.
25. What physical traits have you inherited from your father?
The lower half of my face. My forehead I inherited from my Mum, but my jaw is definitely from my Dad.
26. What physical traits have you inherited from your mother?
See question 25.
27. Where were you raised for most of your life?
Not any one place. Until I was in my thirties I moved pretty regularly, both within the country and abroad. However, now I'm in my early 60s I can say that I have spent the last half of my life here in Tyneside.
28. Would you consider yourself to be in shape?
No, but I'm doing my best to get there.
