He looks a little like frank zappa...

[g1o2r3d4o5n6]

@mybassguitarpwnsyou Billy once joked that he wanted to met frank to ask him why he stole his look lol.

Billy and frank stayed not far from each other, in fact billy would walk his dog past frank's house most mornings but being a big fan of frank he was too shy to ever knock his door. Not long after frank passed away his wife saw billy walking past the house "are you billy connolly?" she asked. "frank was your biggest fan".

I have the "Riotous Assembly" album and the "The old fashioned Tennessee waltz" is on there but not played with the Autoharp... so needless to say it doesnt sound anything like this video version..

I adore the autoharp AND the banjo and Billy plays them both! LOVE IT!

[pointXblankXsky]

what's the name of the song he's playing?

[Shuggy1973]

@pointXblankXsky

Hey mate, I believe the song is called The Old Fashioned Tenessee Waltz

My own question is has Billy ever recorder this song (on Autoharp) in its entirety?

[Neclord2007]

@Shuggy1973 I believe he recorded it on one of his old tapes called Riotous Assembly...theres a video of it on youtube but the guy who uploaded it missed the song off.

[NiCoDeimus]

@CarolineChe An ostrich, a pelican and the Inland Revenue

[slimsanta]

[TheGFPPM]

Not only is Billy musical talented, he's funny as fuck. LONG LIVE BILLY CONNOLLY!

[Thumanator]

Can somebody translate this to American? I'm having a hard time understanding what he says.

[duggers108]

@Thumanator No!

@Thumanator

Oh the moon's silver fingers slid over the mountain, on a deep purple Arkansas night

The red wine was flowin', the red lights were glowin', dancers waltzed into the night

Away in the forest a bluebird was sleepin', where only the coyote calls....*laughs*

Well that''s fucked that one ain't it.
