I attended one of the "An evening with Ronnie Brown" events at which his autobiography was the subject he talked about.

He started it off by explaining his choice of title, "That Guy Fae The Corries". He said that it was a phrase he had heard often and that had caused him to "audit" his life and the different phases of it. He was surprised to find that "The Corries" part of his life amounted to less than one third of it, yet that was how he was best known. Undoubtedly the part of his life he seemed to take greatest satisfaction and pride in was concerned with his art and his painting, and not so much in performing.
