This one's about one's hobbies!
Bruce Springsteen was asked recently about what he did outside of music, what were his hobbies?
He said something along the lines of, I'm not really a hobbies guy.
No surprise there!
My brother though, certainly is. He loves flying remote control planes (pictured on the right above). Has done since he was a youngster - starting with those model kits we both used to do as kids.
Except as his model building got more elaborate and bigger and bigger in scale, mine stopped.
As a hobby it suits his fastidious, pain-staking, inquisitive personality. He's amazing at it!
That he's still doing it 50 plus years later is, like the Springsteen answer, no surprise.
I'm the same! As I type this, I'm listening to a record album I first heard and bought in 1972 - Emerson Lake and Palmer's Trilogy.
The buzz of excitement I get listening to it is the same (From The Beginning instantly transports me back to 1972)
So raise your glass to hobbies!
Jacky has her horses (still going strong), my brother-in-law has his vintage truck, my father-in-law has his videos and Little Theatre, Ross has his planes, our mother loved flowers - floral arranging and gardening, our dad loved electronics, and I collect and listen to music (including the new Sprinsteen album).
You don't know what you're missing Bruce!
Love and peace - Wozza
