Having read everybody else's efforts I feel obliged to put some in for you all to snigger at.

1 My first paid gig as a musician was The Royal Tournament at Earls
Court.That was with the R.A F Locking Apprentice Pipe and Trumpet Band.I was learning Bagpipes,and got paid one and sixpence (in real
money) as appearance fee.

2 I presented a weekly programme of Folk Music on the Aden Forces Broadcasting Association radio station and also with the British Forces Broadcasting Service Up to the withdrawl of UK involvement
in the Aden Protectorate in 1967.

3 I was registered with the R A F Seletar Yacht Club to train water
skiers,as well as Skiing,driving and riding safety for water skiing.

4 I left the R A F partly because i wanted to go at least semi pro as
a folk singer,despite a smashed wrist 3 months after buying my Martin.18 Months after Demob I was singing and playing in an English pub restaurant in Bermuda.

5 While on a course back at Locking in '64 I was a member of a sort of Jug Band along with Ian A Anderson (now editor of Folk Roots Mag)
playing Soprano Saxophone and Tin whistle.

6 I drove motorcycle combinations for far too long and passed three
driving tests first time.Motorcycle,Car and Motorcycle again in the
Bermuda days.They dont recognise our UK licences.

7 I very nearly married an American lady who I met in Bermuda.She let
me have a little look at America and I let her see a reasonable amount of the United Kingdom.

8 I have worked as an electronic engineer,a van driver, a warehouse manager as an accounts clerk and as a professional entertainer.

9 My beard is ten years younger than my moustache (RAF regulations)

10 I once walked with my brother from Munich to the Austrian border and back.Its an even better way to see the countryside than going on
a canal cruise.
