13 Feb 05 - 05:29 PM (#1408463) Subject: Origins: Traditional or Alistair Hewlett? From: gecko First two lines are: Oh, Johnny me man, come throw your leg over me, Why do you lie with your face to the wall. As far as I know this is called 'Oh,Johnny me Man' which has confused the issue a bit as there is another, somewhat moralistic song of the same name. My 'Alistair Hewlett' devotee mates have never heard of it but I have been advised that it's one of his. Your help would be appreciated please. Yours in Unity gecko |

We saw him on Saturday night & I bought 2 albums (Saturday Johnny & Jimmy the Rat) & the double Roaring Jack album already mentioned, and received a 3rd (In sleepy Scotland) as a birthday pressie. I also got money to buy another one when he next performs in Sydney (5th March) then I'll see him again at the National at Easter. It was a fabulous show, most of the audience knew all his songs, they kept demanding encores & he finally stopped 1155. I was far too sick to be out but there was no way I was going to miss the concert or leave early. sandra |
