Home?


Know what?
I'm sick to the fucking teeth with this country!
And I'm too old to emigrate to Australia, or Canadia.
Will you take me back Glasgow?

England's Motorway-Come Me Little Son (For Me Pal JB)

This song, made famous by Luke Kelly & The Dubliners, though written by Ewan MacColl (father of the late singer/songwriter Kirsty MacColl) has been rattling around in my head for quite a while now.
It brings to mind images and thoughts of when my Da had worked in England in the 1950's.

I tried singing it with guitar, and with piano, but I was never happy with it.
Tonight I tried it without music, and here's the result.

(I've never sung this in public, or privately, to anyone!)

World exclusive premier!
