[Sttew]

First single: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton John, 1973

First concert: Queen, 1976 at Festival Hall... the original Queen with Freddie Mercury.

First cassette: don't recall as they never really captivated me. Could have been Styx

First artist seen overseas: Patti Smith at MOMA, NYC, 2017 (was standing a metre from her when she did an impromptu concert)

First radio station I listened to music on: "More Music, 3XY"

First album to "really" leave impression on me: Seventh Sojourn, Moody Blues 1972. I was staying with a friend on his family's farm and the friends older brother had just bought the album and played it non-stop. I didn't know it at the time but it is one of my favourite albums of all time!
