Music To My Years takes you on a journey through the life of a baby boomer, a journey that has borne witness to post-war austerity, the swinging sixties, men on the moon, Britain at war and a technological revolution.

Music To My Years takes you on a journey through the life of a baby boomer, a journey that has borne witness to post-war austerity, the swinging sixties, men on the moon, Britain at war and a technological revolution. It's a journey fashioned by dramatic social and cultural changes that have delivered huge amounts of creativity in the arts - not least in the evolution of popular music. It is this music that provides the soundtrack to this memoir as the author develops from a self-conscious eleven-plus failure to enjoying a successful professional career - before his life is turned upside down by enforced retirement and a battle with cancer... 'The prognosis was delivered honestly, brutally even, but this was no time for procrastination. If I did nothing, I would not last five years; with an operation, I had a 50% chance of doing so.' It is only in retrospect that we realise how much we have lived through politically, socially and emotionally. For any child of the fifties, this will serve as an entertaining and moving reminder.
