Just worked something out

I was lucky enough to see him perform that live in Brisbane a few years back -  stunning.

This brings me to a vid of a guy that I'm sure Roger's son originally recommended, Erik Mongrain. Knocked my socks off. Since that occasion, I keep going back and catching on You Tube whatever he is up to. This is the song that launched him - Air Tap

I was lucky enough to see him perform that live in Brisbane a few years back -  stunning.

Likewise at the Glasgow SECC. "The Dance" is still my music choice DVD after several years (although Roger Waters "In The Flesh" comes a close second...Snowy White and Doyle Bramhall III on the Comfortably Numb track is goosebump stuff).

PS. Stevie Nicks still has it.

Went to see Roger Waters The Wall at Wembley Stadium a couple of weekends back..........Epic!
The Telegraph summed it up in one word.......Pulverising!

The wall was across the full width of one end of the stadium and they had surround sound speakers
all round the stadium under the roof.

If you know the album, some of the sites and sounds were outstanding.

Comfortably Numb was stunning with Dave Kilminster and the afore mentioned Snowy White.

I'm talking to Eddi Reader on Twitter. She confirms we were doing gigs at the same times, (she remembers Danny Kyle, Tich Frier, Hamish Imlach, etc) but doesn't remember the restaurant table gig. How nice of her to talk to her fans!

[Sandy Buttcheeks]

Just googled Hamish Imlach. I cant for the life of me think why I feel I should know more about him. Was Codliver Oil his own song?

Help me out here...did he do Thingumajig or some other sort of Scottish folky shows from my yoof ?

 

[Malc]

I saw him "live", once in Irvine. His act seemed to be comic songs based on trad tunes. I remember laughing like a drain, but I was easier pleased in them days. I think Cod Liver Oil was his.

You could have gone on to be Malc Raftell, doing your unique version of "Streets of London", entitled "Cul-de-Sacs of Asdrossan".

[Malc]

Hmmmm... "Malc Ralftell."


As your doctor said at your last checkup, you might have something there.

[Malc]

"Asdrossan?"

[The Peepmaster]

"Asdrossan?"

That's how Dolly Parton pronounces it, y'all.

This guy came and played on Bute a couple of years back. Jaw droppingly good, especially if you don't know what to expect.

He's a Facebook chum now.

[Sandy Buttcheeks]

A harmonica may be a worthy addition if he wants to be taken seriously. All that breathing going to waste.   

[The Peepmaster]

You can't see the banjo in his trousers that his willy is strumming.

Willy Nelson

[Malc]

Bloody showoff. It's taken me forty years to get half decent on ONE guitar...

Willy Nelson

No - his wrestling half-brother. Willy Half-Nelson.
