How long have you been making music?

Since 1981 when I was about 12. I used to get my dads reel to reel and record drums on to the left channel from a bontempi keyboard, then record bass on the right channel. Then kept bouncing and adding guitars and keys. We had all kinds of instruments in the house from steel pans, guitars, trumpets, keyboards and a piano. Mum played piano and dad played guitar and steel pan so I had stuff to play with.
