Music
My guest in this episode is Mark Harrison. A friend of a previous guest Dan French, Mark listened to episode 52 and liked it so much he decided he wanted to come on the show, which is a process that always pleases me. In amongst the music we talk about: · His Grandfather’s houseboat, Calisto, on the Grand Union Canal · Born in West London in 1962 then moving to South Africa as a 10-year-old. · Returning from that strict and strait-laced environment four years later to a UK at the height of the punk era· Getting his black belt in Kick Boxing at the age of 42 · Becoming a mature student and graduating with a BA Hons at the age of 47 · Starting a I year contract in the Czech Republic in 2005 and never leaving! · Marrying Daria in 2010 · Starting his own company (called Calisto) in 2012 · The delights of train travel in Europe · And last but not least, the joy of Bruce Springsteen and seeing him live in Vienna, Prague & Berlin. Like myself, Mark doesn’t just listen to Bruce, and he made some great song choices for this episode: 60’s The Beatles Michelle 70’s Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here 80’s Bruce Springsteen Hungry Heart 90’s Genesis I Can’t Dance 00’s Kylie Minogue Can’t Get You Out of My Head 10’s Emeli Sande Breathing Under Water 20’s Texas Mr Haze We also touched on a wide range of artists and songs during our chat , all of whom can be found in this playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/41TCP4zadSAHK8WjVS7cZV?si=c9fb1cff028746d3 Enjoy!
