Growing up, my world revolved not around sheet music, but around fields and tractors. Raised on a farm in a small rural town, my early life was more John Deere than John Lennon. Music wasn't a family affair; it found its way into my heart, almost as if it skipped a few generations.

Hello there! It's Woody from Chatting Tracks. Today, I'm basking in London's glorious sunshine and visiting the Prop Store, a company traditionally known for selling iconic movie props but now venturing into the world of music. They have curated a remarkable collection featuring Freddie Mercury's microphone, Matt Sorum's drums, and various legendary guitars.

At the age of 11, I embarked on an adventure that would shape my life—I moved from Italy to Montreal. While my family hesitated about the change, I was thrilled, feeling as if I were heading to the moon. It wasn’t just a relocation; it was the beginning of my long-standing love affair with music.

Hi, I am Robbie, and today I am thrilled to bring you a very special edition of Chatting Tracks, where we step back into the neon glow, cassette clicks, and cultural firestorm that was the 1980s. My guest for this episode is the extraordinary Will, creator of the renowned podcast 1980s Now. Together, we explored what made this decade unlike any other – from politics and music to fashion, technology, and pop culture.
