The music publishing I own is fabulous. Beautiful. I owe it all to Linda’s dad Lee Eastman and her brother John.
Linda’s dad is a great business brain.
He said originally, ‘If you’re going to invest, do it in something you know. If you invest in building computers or something, you can lose a fortune. Wouldn’t you rather being in music? Stay in music’.
I said, ‘Yeah, I’d much rather do that’.
So he asked me what kind of music I liked.
And the first name I said was Buddy Holly.
Lee got on to the man who owned Buddy Holly’s stuff and bought that for me.
So I was into publishing now”.
