“I was composing before I realised I was a composer. It came more or less naturally. There were a couple of old ladies lived next door to me, and I frequented their house more than I did my own, because it had all those marvellous things in that that old ladies do have. And they had a piano, and I used to play around with that; they showed me how to read music and I used to play to them.” PlayUsedNextHouseMy OwnDoorsCouplePianoComposerRealisedComposingOld LadyMarvellous Author:Richard Meale
