1974 was
another great year for me. I rented an old house on a 5 acre small-holding at
Bedfordview
just outside Johannesburg,
and moved in with Johnny and Martin. What an unreal place, it became
well known in Jo'burg as The
Farm, and over the next three years made lots of brilliant memories
for
a great many people. In June, Allan, Eleonore, Phillip and I went to the Isle
Of Man T.T. races and
then toured around Europe on an old Velocette and BSA. What a trip. I changed
from the BMW to
a Kawasaki Z1, what an incredible bike. On the Rock Music front, there were
some really good LP's,
to me Gong's You was
their best ever, as well as David Bowie with Diamond
Dogs, Frank Zappa's
Apostrophe,
Cockney Rebel's The
Psycomodo, and Hawkwind's Hall
Of The Mountain Grill.
At least another fifteen good LP's, but to me there was a decline in the
number of good records
being produced. Anyway, take a look at my selection............
