But the music is the real story. On his ninth Birthday, his mother bought him an old guitar and after a few weeks of messing around on it, he discovered he was a quick learner and immediately saw his escape route from an otherwise very ordinary existence. He threw himself into music and by the age of twelve he had rounded up a couple of local boys, taught them how to play bass and drums and launched the local teen dance, from which he made more money than his father made for a week’s work. 
Displeased at this, his parents and the local (Anglican) Parish Vicar pulled rank, pocketed the money and taught him another lesson- how not to expose his income to the whim of others- hence his knowledge of Contracts.
