Following on from my disappointment mix, the other side of the coin. A mixtape for some of those moments in life when you just have to sit back and think, "YES!!!!!" When moments of supreme happiness/triumph/joy happen, they need to be celebrated. Here is where my celebration starts.

	Track 1 from Ebb Tide Length: 00:02:22 Year: 0000
	Track Description: 1962 - Sunday afternoons meant making the trip across London from Finchley to Fulham to visit my Grandmother. Her apartment was musty, full of old lady smells, inedible food and bits of animals dragged indoors by Bobby the cat. Not the fun destination for the lively music obsessed five year old but there were two very big compensations. One was that my cousin Nigel was there most times we went. He had this job changing the records in juke boxes in coffee bars and pubs and he used to keep hold of quite a lot of the used 45s. He would always take my sister and I into his room, break out his old dansette record player and spin a bunch of his latest trophys. I used to be fascinated by the little black plastic inners he had to put in so the singles would sit right on the turn table. he would always end up giving my sister one or two of the newer records he had, and so as to appear fair he would give me a couple of ones he had maybe had for a few years. Little kids were not supposed to be into this kind of music anyway. The day I heard this record though, something clicked inside. If I had a happy place at that age, this music took me to it.

	Track 1 from 1 Length: 00:02:20 Year: 2000
	Track Description: 1963 - the other good thing for Sundays in Fulham was that my sister and I would be allowed to watch 'Thank Your Lucky Stars' on TV. This was a very early UK music show and it seemed like this new band, The Beatles were on every week. Even from my tender age I loved everything about them, their hair, their guitars, the noise they made. I would stand in front of the TV pretending to be my favorite, John, clasping my hands to my lips to copy the harp playing in this song. "Why is that blessed boy chewing his nails?" my Auntie Annie would say. SHOW LESS

	Track 1 from Pretty Flamingo Length: 00:02:30 Year: 1966
	Track Description: 1965 - Looking at the Flamingos in Golders Hill Park, licking an ice cream, hanging out with my Mum and Dad, totally secure. SHOW LESS
4	Jimi Hendrix : Voodoo Chile Blues

	Track 4 from Electric Ladyland Length: 00:14:59 Year: 1968
	Track Description: 1969 - The year I got my first real guitar. I had wanted to play guitar ever since I could remember and I knew all the names of the guitar players even if I didn't know how they all sounded. By the time Hendrix died, a year later, I was just discovering the amazing sounds he made and my thirteen year old soul was converted. The 'Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)' is the one everyone knows but this longer blusier jam from the same album was one of the first real bluesy rock pieces that I ever listened to over and over again. It is still a favorite to this day and I can still hear new thinmgs in his playing that can make my day. SHOW LESS

	Track 14 from King of the Electric Blues Length: 00:05:23 Year: 0000
	Track Description: 1979 - two wonderful days in Alexandra Palace, North London at the Blues and Jazz fest. Two stages at the bottom of bthe hill, good friends and myself near the top, drink and other mellowing agents, uncommonly nice UK summer weather and Herbie Hancock, Chuck Berry, Benny Goodman, Milt Jackson, Dizzy Gillespie, BB King, Stephane Grapelli, Dave Brubeck, and most wonderful of all, Muddy Waters with Johnny Winter. One of the happiest times of my life, just surrounded by cool music, nice people and warm sensation. SHOW LESS

	Track 5 from Dirty Water Length: 00:02:50 Year: 1966
	Track Description: 1980 - After a drunken evening in the Orange Tree pub Andy Keane and I decided to get back to my house in a direct straight line which meant climbing over numerous fences, a school and three or four houses. As we were very drunk this took some time, and the pursuit was not helped by my singing the "Frustrated women...have to be in by twelve o clock" line from this song. We weren't arrested and only got eight or nine bruises each. SHOW LESS

	1980 - Another drunk story. I was walking home from a long after work drinking session and had finally got up [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 18 from The Very best Of The Stranglers Length: 00:04:25 Year: 2006
	Track Description: 1980 - Another drunk story. I was walking home from a long after work drinking session and had finally got up the nerve to caqll someone I really liked and ask her out. She agreed and I was a happy boy. As I staggered home, I passed a school that was having some kind of Christmas Bazazaar and which was covered in bunting. In next to no time, I was the one covered in bunting and I think I must have resembled some kind of inebriated festive yeti. SHOW LESS

	Track Description: 1985 - Spending a weekend at a hippy rainbow fayre in Norfolk England, sitting in with a band for four hours on the Sunday afternoon, playing the gig of my life, particularly on an extended version of this song. It rained and rained and I didn't care. I slept all the way home. SHOW LESS

	Track 6 from Tighten Up Vol. 88 Length: 00:04:41 Year: 0000
	Track Description: 1995 - I had come through months in hospital, a true low point. By the third month, they were trying to build my weight/strength up and I was told that there would be no restrictions on what I ate. After a long time of not eating, I found it hard to eat anything, but my appetite was starting to reawaken. One day, they came and got me from my hospital bed early in the morning for a bunch of tests for which I had to be nil by mouth. By the time I got back to the ward I had missed lunch. They sent for a plate for me, but before it arrived I was off for a ct scan, then left in a corridor in bed for almost two hours. When they did come and get me, it was to take me to physical therapy. I got back to find I had missed dinner. When a plate finally did arrive, it was about a square inch of cold macaroni cheese.ally, Finally someone went and got me a couple of blts and a cold can of coke. Up to that point all food I had tried had no taste for me, but the bacon and the coke truly hit the spot. It was like tasting champagne and caviar for the first time (If I liked champagne and caviar). It was actually a turning point in the process of getting my head round the idea that one day I would be leaving that hospital. SHOW LESS

	Track Description: 1998 - Meeting Peter Green, my musical hero,for the first time at Dingwalls Dancehall, Camden Town. he did initially mistake me for a bouncer, but we had a great talk about guitars and recording levels and stuff. To be honest, we could have been talking about paint drying and I would have been happy. SHOW LESS

	Track Description: 2004 - Weeks before leaving the UK for good, spending a chilly day at the English seaside with Karmen, my wife of one week. We ate french fries out of paper, drank steaming hot tea, sang bad karaoke on Brighton pier and had a truly happy day. if Portishead were the baqnd that saved my life, Morcheeba were the ones standing in the background just in case.
