I have had a passion for singing, and composing/writing songs throughout my life and which stemmed pretty-much from/whilst being 'held captive' in a tobacco smoke-filled car on long (4 hour) car journeys on the way to visiting both sets of my Grandparents ie from Epworth (within the Isle Of Axholme, N.lincs) to either Surrey or Box, Wiltshire. My Father would slap my legs for singing, saying that I was distracting his driving.
