The Anthems Challenge #3

The Anthem Challenge originated from my Jemtunes blog and was inspired by a fellow blogger from Jersey. Essentially it's all about posting ten anthems over ten days that mean something in your life and saying a few words about each and why.

Anthem #3: Steve Howe - Australia


This track comes from the 1975 solo album 'Beginnings' and, although I now have the album on CD as well now, my original vinyl version is unplayable; it's got a huge scratch though the middle! This is the reason for this anthem choice. I lent the album to my then girlfriend when we were at art college in 1977. She lived in a one-room bedsit and the only place for the record player was the floor. Add that to a mini party and you have a recipe for something not great. I still have the damaged goods almost 40 years later though - along with the then girlfriend to whom I've been married since 1979.
