Most of my life is made up of nothing years where the soul sleeps and the heart is insulated from the wider world of
people, but each decade of my life has produced a period where the soul awakens and nothingness is swept away.
In the mid 1970's, I reached the heights of one of these periods. From the age of 19 I built a large network of friends
and love rose and fell with vibrancy.
But it was all puppy love until Judi.
What sort of music did I like in the Seventies?
