It is easily overlooked that what is now called vintage was once brand new.

Since my teen years I was interested in martial arts.

When I was five my parents bought me a ukulele for Christmas. I quickly learned how to play it with my father's guidance. Thereafter, my father regularly taught me all the good old fashioned songs.

We always started these albums as making demos, that went right on until Scary Monsters.

Today a record producer is even more involved and is often the production's sole musician, one person playing all the instruments one-by-one.

Today's recording techniques would have been regarded as science fiction forty years ago.
