On this day ...

Thomas Edison first demonstrated his phonograph in 1877 ... And The Cure's Michael Dempsey was born in 1958 ...

Left to right:

Nine Below Zero - Don't Point Your Finger (And yes Jeff, it is yours!)
Adam and the Ants - Prince Charming (My 1st ever album, Christmas 1981)
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry (1986 remix) - I had the record cover as a poster on my wall
Level 42 - Hot Water - I learnt to play bass because of this song
The Farm - All Together Now. Just brilliant ...
