Peter Green (1916 - 1980), when he was forty years old, started his furniture business in Eastleigh with his wife Norah and child in arms, in 1956 in a small shop at 43 Leigh Road. He may have had only £150 capital, but he had years of experience as a sales representative in the furniture trade.
Green had been in the business all his working life apart from a period spent flying during the war. His family had been in the furniture trade for generations, his grandfather having dealt in antique furniture a century earlier. Green had grown up in Nuneaton; he was proud to be an Old Edwardian having attended King Edward’s Grammar School in Nuneaton.
Green chose Eastleigh because he felt at ease in a railway town, having grown up in Nuneaton, which was also a similar sized town. At first Peter sold beds in the daytime and delivered them in the evening, with his wife Norah acting as secretary and doing all the office work. He then added other furniture to his stock before later opening a small carpet shop at 54 High Street. The business grew steadily from these tiny beginnings until in 1966, with three branches,Green, now helped by his brother Reg as sales director, took a corner of huge premises in Southampton Road then occupied by the Fair Oak Dairy Company, and which had formerly been a brush factory . In Green’s first "Walk Around Showrooms" carpets and furniture were crammed into one building, the Mayor of Eastleigh came to open this important new store and the business grew steadily.
Peter Green (musician)
Peter Green (born Peter Allen Greenbaum; 29 October 1946) is a British blues rock guitarist and the founder of the band Fleetwood Mac. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for his work with the group, Green's songs such as "Albatross", "Black Magic Woman", "Oh Well" and "Man of the World" have been recorded by artists such as Santana, Aerosmith, Status Quo,Black Crowes, Midge Ure,Tom Petty,Judas Priest and Gary Moore, who recorded Blues for Greeny, a covers album of Green's compositions.
A major figure and bandleader in the "second great epoch" of the British blues movement, Green inspired B.B. King to say, "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats."Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page have both praised his guitar playing. Green's playing was noted for its idiomatic string bending and vibrato and economy of style.
He was ranked 38th in Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time". His tone on the Bluesbreakers instrumental "The Supernatural" was rated as one of the 50 greatest of all time by Guitar Player. In June 1996 Green was voted the third-best guitarist of all time in Mojo magazine.

Big Boy Now
by: Peter Greenwhen i was just a child i used to run and hide so
frightened of those lonely shadows
my momma walked with me and papa talked with me now
listen son it doesn't matter
you've got to live your life the way you sow your seeds
and if you do it wrong you've got to face it on your
knees
'cause you're a big boy now you're a big boy now you're a
big boy now so let the big boy shout
i'm a big boy now i'm a big boy now i'm a big boy now so
let the big boy shout
well time has passed me by and i'm no longer crying i
chase away those lonely shadows
my momma walked with me and papa talked with me now
listen son it doesn't matter
well now i can't break free no one can rescue me
surrounded by those lonely shadows
my momma walked with me and papa talked with me 'cause
what i do now doesn't matter
i've had to live my life the way i sowed my seeds
and now i've done it wrong i've got to face it on my
knees
'cause i'm a big boy now i'm a big boy now i'm a big boy
now so let the big boy shout
i'm a big boy now i'm a big boy now i'm a big boy now so
