We built a studio
connected to the house...
:03:04
and we recorded some songs there, too.
:04:28
I was raised by my auntie.
:04:29
My father and my mother
split when I was about 4.
:04:32
I had spent some time
with my mother up till about 4.
:04:35
Then my father split.
He was a merchant seaman.
:04:36
You can imagine,
it was the 1940s, in the war and all that.
:04:40
And he left,
and I was brought up by an auntie.
:04:44
I had to be solid
because I had a boy to bring up.
:04:48
It was my job to be there.
He never came into an empty house.
:04:53
What he could not make out
was how I knew...
:04:56
when he was up to something.
:04:59
He was inventive
and was always the leader.
