If You Want to Get Ahead....

I am a man of many ongoing projects, all of which involve transferring the contents of teetering boxes of stuff (be it audio or visual) onto a digital medium, and few of which I'll probably ever completely finish. Still, I'm having a great deal of fun along the way, particularly with my recent car-boot sale acquisition, a photo scanner, which is allowing me to fully explore the family negative and slide archive. Mind you, I've only just begun to scratch the surface and have already discovered many a dodgy snapshot of yours truly - the moustache period of the mid-1970's, what was I thinking? Then, of course, there was my early 1960's penchant for very small hats.

    Well, what a fabulous collection of headwear. You were clearly a style guru in the making and I hope you continue to sport the 'tiny hat' look on special occasions!

    I love seeing people's childhood photos and really appreciate these, so I'm afraid your mere mention of the moustache is not enough. We need to see some evidence, please - photographic evidence!!

    Thanks C. Sadly all hats seem tiny on my head nowadays! I'll have a think about sharing a 'tache pic, but I'm not keen on the idea!

    Can't listen to the song as speakers currently busted. Sob.

    SB. Oh no! Hope the speaker problem isn't too difficult (or expensive) to fix.
