Part 2….

Can Keith Emerson sit with his legs ANY further apart in the pic on Page 5?

about a blog

I am a fifty-something ex-pat Brit transplanted into America’s Mid-West. When I finally got around to unpacking all the boxes I shipped across the Atlantic, I found the “schoolboy diaries” I dutifully wrote in during the 1970’s.

I decided, as a fun endeavour, to document, share and comment upon many of the diary entries.

Posts will be in chronological order starting in 1972 and will gently travel from my 14-year old insecure geeky phase through to my involvement in the UK ‘punk movement’ at the end of the decade.

I hope other people find the project to be entertaining
The Prologue

Start at the very beginning, with the 1/1/1972 entry
