Hi Nigel.

I really am very glad you like this. I'm actually from the UK, but am
half-German - a long story!

Unwittingly I exposed myself to a unusually wide range of music as a
child, so there are all sorts of influences in my compositions.

In the middle and late 1950s radios were extremely expensive and quite
rare. I was just cutting my teeth on electronics at that time, and was
actually given, yes given, radios to repair and maybe keep for a while.
As I was a very poor sleeper I used to spend much of the night
searching the dial for foreign stations. Music always attracted me so I
was lulled to sleep by some of the worlds best composers :)
