HI MOHAWK, YOU JUST BROUGHT ME BACK SO MANY YEARS TO WHEN I USED TO SIT DOWN WITH MY LATE FATHER AND LOOK AT THE ANDY WILLIAMS SHOW HE WAS A BIG FAN OF HIM,

[mohawk3881]

@aldridgeo Yes - I can remember those tv shows , great memories . Gilbert says Andy Williams once contacted him because he wanted to sing WE WILL in a tv show but couldn`t understand the line " I bagsy being in goal " ! Don`t know if he ever did it - maybe an Andy Williams fan could tell us .....

[SuperKarend]

Did Gilbert record this song, or did he just write it......

[mohawk3881]

@SuperKarend Hi Maria - yes Gilbert wrote both these songs himself ( he writes all his own songs ) and he was the first to record them . Everyone seems to love `Alone Again ` - it`s been done by lots of other artists over the years which is a great compliment to Gilbert .
