"She lived music. She was as poor as a church mouse, because any money that came to her went into her music gadgets," recalls Chris Oram.
Thank you for this story bluey.I am renewed in my passion for electronic music by the devotion she showed.What a shame that is it her death that brings her story to life. | |
