Music Banter - Greetings!

Hi everyone, I'm not only new here but new to this type of forum too, so patience would be greatly appreciated, think of it as helping the aged. I'm a 57 yr old guy, from the desolate wastelands of northeast England. Been a music obsessive for 45 years and collected hundreds of fave bands & artists. To giveaclue today's listening has been; Gong (for obvious reasons), Zappa, Steely Dan, Traffic, Blues Pills & Terry Reid. I'm into reading, lots of sports & good movies. Oh and I like cats. I can't promise to make much sense but I will promise to try.
