TAKEAWAY KEYS and TERRY CALLIER

The time was now around September of 1987, I had found a Takeaway Shop to Rent, it also had a Small Restaurant and Sold Burgers, Fish, Pizza's, Homemade Pies, Chips etc etc.

As I said Previously we Checked the Place out During Opening Times and it seemed a Fairly Busy Place, we also had the Shop Books to Look at, for all the Incomings and Outgoings etc, we had these for about a Week.

I had an Accountant look at the Books and he said he thought Everything Looked Ok, but I Remember at the time, Susan's Father, who was a Businessman, with about 4/5 Betting Shops (so he knew what he was Talking about) said "he thought the Shop was a White Elephant" and a Waste of Time, Energy and Money!

But Unfortunately for Myself, I did not Listen to my Father-in-Law, 
because I had the Chance of a Lifetime to Start a New Business (for Myself and Family) and I only Listened to my Mother, who kept Saying to me "Your Father wanted you to have your Own Business"

So I Stupidly took the Help my Mother was Providing (with Cash) and Signed the Dotted Line to take over the Takeaway Shop! 

The Couple who Ran the Takeaway before me, were a Married Couple from Great Yarmouth, they Lived Near the St.Georges Park in the Centre of Town, I'm Trying to Remember their Names, His Name was Billy, but I cant Remember Her Name or their Surname, but I will Remember Sooner or Later!

The Reasons for Naming them will become Clear in a Few Post's Time, I have Never Seen them Since that Time, we had the Takeaway, but I would Love to Meet them, Just to tell them what I think of them Now (and Back then) and about all the Crap they caused us to Suffer!  

I think it was about October of 1987 that I Finally got the Keys to the Takeaway Shop, but as it Turned Out, this was only the Start of Loads of Trouble and Heartache for Me Susan and Our Kids, while Running this Takeaway Shop!

Now for some Music, this Week saw the Death of another Great Singer "Terry Callier" over his Career he Released 16 Albums, and one of my Favorites was "Fire on Ice" which was Released in 1978.

This was his 5th Album, and it was on the Elektra Record Label, it contained some Great Tracks including: Be a Believer, Holdin' On (To Your Love), Butterfly, Disco in the Sky and the Great African Violet, but the Track I'm going to Feature is "Martin St. Martin"

This Track was a Tribute to "Martin Luther King" and Written by Terry Callier and Larry Wade and Produced by Richard Evans.

Terry Callier Made some Great Music during his Life, I have put a Few Examples Below!

Also this Coming Wednesday's Mix will be a Tribute Mix to Terry Callier, Mixed by Michael Ruetten.
