RE: Back in My Day...

I've found music in various ways over the years. Some was by hearing about it from friends. Our local library had a music section where you could take out vinyl, and later CDs, for a small charge. I would pick out anything that looked interesting. I may have taped the odd one(!).

I also found some via reviews in guitar and music magazines. That's how I found Jane's Addiction :)

A few years back I found a site that had various 'radio' shows that you could download where different presenters would play prog rock and that got me into various bands. One of those was Frost* who I have since seen live a few times.

At one point I wanted to play bass and whilst looking up lessons I found some players like Jeff Schmidt and Steve Lawson who are amazing. Via that I also found guitarist Matt Stevens and his band The Fierce and the Dead who I have seen live many times.

A lot of music I listen to is not on the radio. I do use Spotify now to look up albums by people I like and their generated playlists find similar stuff.
