A Breath of Fresh Air Jan 3

This week:

1960’s Bubblegum sensation, Tommy Roe tells us how he got into music and wrote his first song, Sheila, as a young teenager. He laments that the girl he wrote it about never knew of its existence and how he’d love to find her today, some 60 years later.

Herman’s Hermits’ founder Peter Noone jokes about how getting older has its perks. He also talks about how his band became famous, how the name came about, and about meeting Elvis.

Blues guitarist Walter Trout talks about his experience with a liver transplant, and how it affected his music. He regales us with the story of how he met his wife whilst on stage and despite a rocky start, says his life has been like a fairy tale.
