Fitaloon at MicroShaft

Twenty Years ago was my first Valentines day with my Wife.

In those days she lived in Inverness and I lived in Aberdeen. This meant many hours driving between the two sometimes at some very strange times. What I really needed was a fast car to replace my trusty VW Golf 1300, Instead I married Chris and spent the fast car money on a wonderful honeymoon. One of my better decisions in life.

Tracy Chapman and a few others kept us awake on those journeys and many of those songs are special to us even now, so here is a little taster from those days.

Just noticed this from a couple of years ago when I said:

Way back in the distant past in the years B.C. (Before Chris, my wife) I finally bought a CD player and then had to buy a CD to play on it. My first CD, bought more for the fact that it was Digital Recording,and I wanted to see how a CD could perform, was Tracy Chapman. I had heard the odd snipet of Tracy Chapman before this and thought I would like the CD.

How right I was. I cannot number the times I have listened to this CD. When I met my wife she was living in Inveress and I was in Aberdeen so I spent a fair bit of my life driving up and down the A96 (not a pleasant experience) between the two cities. Much of the time I listened to this CD and this track was perhaps my favourite depending upon the mood I was in, good on the way and bad on the way back.

Anyway enjoy.

P.S. And no to my brother she is not a poor man’s Joan Armatrading.
