Thread Name: Obit: Derek Smith - 'The Amazing...' 2013
Subject: RE: Obit: Derek Smith - 'The Amazing...' 2013
Only saw him a couple of times - but was looking forward to seeing him in Cowden later this year. Am so disappointed - took my kids to see him and during the interval my 12 year old son (now 17) was intrigued by the condom bagpipes and spent 20 mins with Amazing who explained how they were made. Can't say I knew him but loved how much he made us all laugh. Kicking myself I didn't get further afield to see him more often. Will treasure my memories of a unique and hilarious musician. Thanks Amazing.
