Fame at last!
So, on Saturday night we went out for a big family meal in Alnwick;
son and wife (still feels odd saying that!) youngest son and
his partner, bro and sis in law and Mrs Mac and I. We called
for a beer in the pub where I sing once a month with my mate.
I buys the beers and we find a table and its very christmassy, ya know! I'm halfway down my pint when over the hubub I hear music on the jukebox...It's only little old me singing!
My mate must have dropped off one of our 'Pidders Pot' cd's to the landlord and he'd put it on the jukebox, and some complete stranger had actually paid money to hear it!.,..they didn't demand a refund either.
To say I was chuffed is an understatement. It's quite summat to hear yourself on a jukebox. Of course I began to harmonise along with myself, much to the embarrassment of my sons. They said I didn't have to sing along just so folks would know it was me!..(they love me really)
I'm gonna stand by the jukebox in future and drop subtle hints about which music people should choose.

Cheers Wrathers...not sure if it's quite your cup of tea though!..;)
I have a friend in New Zealand who looooves folk music and I know she'd love yours; is there any interwebby place she can listen? And maybe buy?
They'll be hounding you for autograph next, Mac... :]
Minxie...we were signing autographs when we had a gig in Holland....was sooooo embarrassing!
I knew there was a proper name for wot she is Alan...I'll try harder!
That will still have been pretty cool GD...always nice to hear your own stuff played.
Gels...ta..:)..somehow I don't think the other bars in Alnwick would appreciate it!
It was pretty awesome Kat..:)....I'll be insufferable in there now!
Is this CD purchasable? Can't see it with a bit of effort. Perhaps it needs a lot of effort.
Maccaroon - here you have a paying audience, eager for a squirt of Piddler's Pot and we can't find a pot, er, between us. Are you missing a trick here? Shot? Foot? The? In? Yourself?
Get a move on sonny jim. Your public awaits.
Did you hug whoever put it on? Did they hug you?
Maybe you can do a CD of readings when a Mac-book gets published.
In the meantime, bask in the fulsome glory and be careful out there, I think you're developing a committed fan base.
We only did a run of 500 CD's way back in 2002...or thereabouts. I think I have one left and there may be one or two others knocking about. We tended to sell them to cover our costs then give the rest to charity. If anyone really wants one I can burn off a copy and post it. Just give a donation to a charity of your choice..:)
