Scarborough, UK

I was born in Scarborough and as a young teen roller skated at the Vernon Road rink. I also played in a small band and we practiced in our front room once a week. The noise upset the Duchy agent who lived in a large house on the other side of the street. He complained to my Dad more than once, but my dad had played drums in a band in his younger days and so encouraged us, even though we did have to close the windows.
