Making a scrapbook means to relax. It can really take your mind off things. You get to concentrate, to focus deeply, and slowly you wander off into another world. It steadies your breathing and it lowers your blood pressure (when it’s too high, obviously). Above all, making a scrapbook adds to your sense of happiness, particularly when it’s about music. Even more so when it’s about Genesis. People who make scrapbooks can spend hours on getting it right. Images need to be of the right proportion, they have to be in the right order and colours need to match each. It can take up a lot of time fitting and measuring images into a perfect collage. These are pages from a Genesis-scrapbook made by a long term fan who happens to be a good friend. He’s a fan, I’m a fan, therefore we are happy men.
