One of my acheivements before leaving secondary school was to get the sounds
for an SF play based on a Bradbury story about a spaceship that gets hit by a
shower of meteors and the astronauts go off in all directions ... I've
forgotten its name ... but I went around with a tape recorder to various
music shops and recorded all sort of sounds from various musical instruments
and they got turned into a sound track for it.

Best thing I did that entire year.
