Paul Hodges was born in 1946, and is still around thanks to modern medicine, having survived both TB and Cancer. His journey through life has had a few fleeting highlights:

1955-1959 Singing in the choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, under Sydney Watson

1960-1965 Trying to learn the piano under Ronald Smith

1965-1968 Studying Engineering Science at Oxford University

1966 Helping to build a pipe organ (see here)

1969-1970 Working in BBC Radio as a Studio Manager

1975-1982 Writing a software imaging system for gamma cameras (including the computer operating system), and selling it world-wide

1987-1992 Co-founding and running an opera group

1993 Having published an edition of a cantata by Haydn

1998-2002 Recording several commercial CDs to help his son's career as a pianist

He now runs the computers for a department of Oxford University that is mainly concerned with cancer research, and amuses himself by singing in a choir, playing the organ to himself (only!), and recording concerts (using Ambisonics) - thus neatly pulling together all the earlier threads of his life.
