About Me

Abandoned as a child and raised by wolves I overcame this early handicap to become a radio tart turning up at any studio that will have me as long as I am able to indulge my catholic musical tastes. I have to bribe people to listen to my programmes - the last of which was called "Practical Goatkeeping." It was titled thus in a completely successful attempt to disguise the musical content which varied from french chansonnier Jacques Dutronc to the very wonderful but pretty much forgotten Eclection. Jacques Dutronc had the extraordinary good fortune to be married to Francoise Hardy.Can I completely recommend the book "Practical Goatkeeping" by Mrs Arthur Abbey. Written in 1935 this is goatkeeping with attitude.
