QUOTE : My neighbour, Sue, comes round. She very politely begs me to stop playing. She says she’s been sent by the rest of her flatmates to tell me that I can’t play guitar, it’s been months now and it’s obviously not happening, I have no talent for it. ‘Please, for your own sake, Viv, as well as everyone else’s, stop it and find something that you can do. I’m sure there are lots of things you’re good at.’ She’s absolutely right and I know it. I’m not progressing, I have no natural musical talent, I’m making a terrible noise. But I’m not going to stop. I don’t know why. Maybe because there’s nothing else in the world I want to do.
