Hi

I was organising a folk concert at the rugby club that I was playing for at the time.

Of course in those days the facilities were to say the least. sparse.

We had a work party down on the afternoon of the gig and a stage was erected made from four tables with tyheir legs lashed together and a couple of old carpets throwm on them. There were no lights over this "stage" so we pulled two hanging lights together with string so that they were over the stage.

During the night I was singing a slow sad ballad when one of the bulbs fell from the makeshift light and hit me right on the top of the head.....after a moments hesitation I continued as if nothing had happened.

When I finished the song to "rapturous applause" ...someone shouted "What happened, why did you stop".

Quick as a flash I replied. " Oh I was feeling a little light headed ".

Sometimes I surprise myself.

Cheers

John....not THE John
