It is family custom for us all to gather at Iain’s sister’s house on New Year’s Eve. We generally have loads of food, play a girls against boys round of Trivial Pursuit which the boys usually win much to their delight, and have some family craic revolving around making fun of the silliest blonde-moment things that our niece Louise has said during the previous year.
Last year we had a slight deviation. After all the years of listening to nephew Andrew strumming his guitar he actually sat down to do some real singing. We all joined in on the songs we knew and threw requests at him for more. He then confessed to being a bit of a songwriter and delighted us with a couple of his own songs. Being an emotional bunch his female family members had tears in their eyes with pure pride that he had such expertise at the guitar playing malarkey and I came away firmly believing that he would make it big IF he was ever discovered.
I felt bereft at the thought I would have to wait another year to hear his compositions again.
Then, this morning, a strange sequence of events lead me to find he has a couple of songs on You Tube. Why, oh why, I hadn’t thought to ask if he had any online I’ll never know. I suppose we are all guilty of a few blonde moments! So without further ado – here he is.
