Living way up in Inverness in the sixties was a million miles away from where it was '' in the music scene. There were no venues to see all the many new artists and groups that had exploded out of the blue.The day finally happened, one of the new sensations was a youngand he was playing in Inverness. He had some excellent stuff out at the timeIn fact earlymusic, before he became more famous for his '' output was in my opinion just as good or even better. Get hold of his early Decca recordings and you won't be disappointed.The place was packed, the Caledonia Hotel Ballroom, Thecame on to the stage to an enormous roar,, one of his best. In the middle of his second song, he was gone. He panicked, as the audience got too close. He did not come back on and it was announced that due to inadequate barriers the concert was cancelled.Many years later I had a chance to get my revenge. Where we lived in Jeddah, there was a Men's club and one day I saw that they had a guest speaker. It was none other thanIslamic name when he found hisafter a near death swimming accident.I was tempted to go along and when they got to the question and answer session. I was going to stand up and say you own me 7/6 pence from 1966. Wish I did!is probably my favouritesong and comes from his(1970) album. I first heard's version. Both are just great.I originally thought it was a great break up song and was a little disappointed to read somewhere that it was about a father and his daughter, who was leaving home to go to University. Wish I never found that out.Which version do you like best?.
