Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Night Before Larry Was Stretched
Funny story about Shay. He, Dan Milner, and I were at the Boston Singers Circle at the pub on North Station, I think Barry was there that night too. As we got a few jars in us, I decided to have a bit of fun with Shay. First, I told him he sang like Derek Warfield...... LOL ....... he went ballistic and that set off a bit of a singing competition. He told me he was going to sing a song that I probably didn't know. He sang "Larry", finished .... and sat there with a wee smug look on his face and asked me what I thought. I told him I thought he forgot a couple of verses and sang them. You would have loved to have been there.... priceless.

Shay is one hell of a singer, and it was a pleasure to sing with him. And I enjoyed taking the piss a bit too. Hard to match that style.

All the best,

Mick
