Re: Junior Dan interview by Angus Taylor
»***How did you become interested in music?***
*I guess I was born in music. My Mum used to play organ for the church and because of that I started getting a liking for songs. When I was really small I remember I used to get these big carton boxes and I would draw a speaker on the front and get inside the box. This is how I would get my pocket money at the time! I had this sardine tin - one of those long sardine tins they used to have at the time - and put that on a piece of board with some fishing line and make a guitar. So I would be strumming it inside the box and my granddad would drop coins in like it was a jukebox! Every Sunday evening I was a jukebox for the family and I would drop coins in and sing whatever they want! Then I got a comb and put silver foil over it and blew through it. That was long before I got into any instruments though. I was really small, ten eleven.*«
This is just about the cutest thing I've ever read!
