As far as musical idols go – coming of age in the 70’s my early fixations included the usual Tiger Beat pinups: David Cassidy, Bobby Sherman, Donny Osmond, Bay City Rollers,Tony Orlando and Dawn and the Jackson 5. Mercifully in high school my tastes shifted to Queen, Aerosmith, Eagles, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, Bob Seger, David Bowie and Heart to name a few. I was into Punk for awhile in the mid to late 70’s – Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees etc. Also New Wave – Blondie, Elvis Costello, Patti Smith. Disco for about 5 minutes – and only just Stayin’ Alive. My typical playlist includes classic rock and alternative with a few C &W tunes here and there. (A little bit country with a lot of rock n’ roll)
