| If I laugh |
I was in a club in Oban - north of Glasgow and getting ready to cross to Iona (which I didn't know at the time - and that is a long story which I have written short before - elsewhere). Anyway, there was this tiny folk club in Oban and I did a floor spot. When I came off, this guy ghosted over and said to me, 'I was going to do that last song, but you did it so well so I will do something else. I said, 'Shit, if I had seen you there I wouldn't have dared.' He had the most radiant smile and said (and I will never forget this), 'You have made my year, I really liked your bluesy interpretation.' He was/is such a lovely man. And then wooosh - he was so brilliant, just him and his guitar. Even although it was a floor spot he played for well over an hour. He was going to Iona too - but hey, that's another story...
