Thread Name: Review: Songs of Robert Burns (Eddi Reader)
Subject: RE: Eddie Reader Burns Whatdyathink
Tam the Bam frae Saltcoats----I take it ye mean "McGonigle"? The man who penned such gems as "As Ah wis walkin doon the road, Ah met a coo----a BULL b'Goad!!"? I share your appreciation of the often unintended humour of McGonigle, but hey, c'mon! Burns was a poet. McGonigle was a comic. By the way---were you present at the Irvine folk club's new venue Wednesday of last week, in the Golf Hotel?
Guest artist Michael Marra. Good entertainment, a good song writer with real pawky humour.
