About Me - The Beginning
|
My name is Steven William Thomson. I was born on 23
December 1977 at Stirling Royal Infirmary. I grew up in
Stirling, Scotland.
I had various jobs while I was at school, so I could
earn a bit extra money for sweets and comics, then later
on music tapes. At one point, I had two paper rounds and
an egg round every week!

In 1993, my parents bought me a set of 3 juggling
balls for Christmas, and this changed my life totally, as
I felt a real sense of achievement from learning the basic
patterns, and I quickly moved on to more difficult tricks,
and then bought a whole range of juggling equipment to practice
and perform with. |
|
I enrolled in a summer school - JJJ (Jump Juggle
Jest) in 1995 and helped to teach juggling as well as performing
in a show for a week. I enjoyed the experience so much,
that when a committee was formed to organise future JJJ
activities, I became the first secretary. |

In 1994, my Grandad bought me a Yamaha PSR-5700
Keyboard for my Christmas. I took up learning the keyboard
with just as much enthusiasm as the juggling, and enjoy
playing in worship groups, and on mission teams. |
