Well now, what should I say to tell you all about me....

I started selling on ebay just after christmas 2005, when my wife decided the house needed a little more space. I have collected books, records and one or two other odd things since I was a young teenager (almost half-a-century ago). I was a very keen reader, never getting rid of my books though (they just migrated slowly to the loft) and as for records well, music is my first love (that reminds me of a song ! ). But my wife has finally got her way and I am clearing out the loft and cupboards.

Seriously though, I have enjoyed my foray into the ebay world and started to move the mountain. I have even encouraged the family to let me try to clear some of their stashed items (including my married son who had lots of CD's to clear) so please visit and browse my shop which I have now started to try to manage the increased volume of listings efficiently.

My main interest is popular music (from the forties through to the seventies, mainly) and I play guitar and keyboard and write my own material. It has always been a hobby more than a way of life so no, I have never got very far with other musicians / groups and have limited myself to home performances. Though I have been known to get a party going, right out of the front door. I am a keen fan of the Shadows and still enjoy their music and that of their many tribute bands who perform regularly across the country.

My other main interest is painting and I am now listing  ACEO (art card, editions and originals) paintings and other art works on eBay. I believe that during this year this will become the main focus of my eBay listings. You can see some of my paintings on my web site....ArtyFax, see below.... which I have recently started, so if you do decide to visit, please be patient whilst I build it.
As an added bonus you can read my blog accessed thro the same link.
