billy if yi didnae keep harpin own aboot being a rubbish singer we might think you are a real wan. aye billy you are a real yin. in the nicest possible way
As an American who first discovered Billy about 20 years ago when Whoopi Goldberg introduced him to us on an HBO special, it's great to hear a sample of what the world's greatest stand-up comedian was doing earlier in his career. It came as a real surprise to me when I first learned that he was once in a band with Gerry Rafferty! Wow! Who woulda thunk it? Anyway, great to hear it!
Very beautiful, especially as it's sung in their native accent, in stead of the usual, characterless,' transatlantic rock' accent so many Commonwealth bands adopt. A Scottish accent is one of the most beautiful of all accents for singing with.
@Gairlochan Hello there, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm a Londoner myself but I am really appreciating the soft voice Billy is singing with....
I listen to this everyday since i discovered it.
