    Inheritance Tracks

    My two are:

    1. Shotgun by Jr. Walker and the All Stars
    I can still remember hearing this for the first time in March 1965. I was so struck by it I nagged my parents to buy me a saxaphone. I ws no good at this an acquired the nickname "Windy". When I changed my surname in 1967 I aslo changed my first name so this track is intimately linked with my identity

    2. Over the Rainbow by Eva Cassidy
    As a psychotherapist I work with the twin themes of tragedy and hope. The theme of this song is hope and the singer tagically died of cancer in her 30s. So, this song nicely embodies my life's work
