💭 To understand me a little better

Good to know about me
I know every shortcut in this city and I will use all of them.
How I find communication easier
Call me. I find typing suspicious.
What gives me energy
A new record, a clean engine, and the grandkids visiting.

💛 Things I love, can't get enough of, or have been dreaming about

Vinyl, properly looked after
Blue Note pressings if you're offering.
A good flask of coffee
For the night shifts.

🙅 Things that aren't really for me

Sat-navs telling me where to go
Forty years, madam.

⭐ A few of my favourite things

Favourite quotes

Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself. — Miles Davis

Favourite music & bands

John Coltrane — A Love Supreme.

🧰 Tips & life hacks I can share

Always carry cash and a phone charger
You'll be the hero of someone's bad night.

🧩 Problems I'm trying to solve — ideas welcome

Digitising 300 records without losing the warmth
My son says 'just stream it'.
