A Wee Taste of Home to keep me going.

Post by rye470 » Sat May 13, 2006 3:19 am

On Wednesday, my best friend and I were talking, as usual, about home.
Audrey is yet another ex-pat, from Kirkcaldy. That's Kirk aw Day Jean.

Anyway, we were bemoaning the fact that my 'Brit TV' has recently given up the ghost, and we can't watch my Billy Connolly videos anymore.

Aud's phoned me yesterday to say that she had seen an ad in the 'New Yorker' Magazine at her doctors, saying that Billy is playing in New York from now till Early June.

This morning she phone's to say that she has got us tickets to see him next Saturday in NYC. :D :D :D :D :D

I AM IN HEAVEN.

Christine,

How lucky can you get? :D :D :D Wish I could come with you.

I love Billie Connolly, I have several of his albums. He had a show here in the States for a while but it didn't last long.

The perfect medicine for all that nostalgia we've stirred up. You will feel you are back in Scotland already. Have a great night !
