Tonight's special guest was Eilidh (pronounced Aylee for the benefit of English readers).Her stage name would surely be Aylee Mac, I suppose mine would be Big Al except I'm not big and only my brother Stu calls me Al so scrub that. Eilidh had mercifully good taste but even better still her father was listening, not because this doubles my listenership but because he requested a Dylan track which gave me carte blanche to play half a dozen of them. Any excuse.
Eilidh's ten year old daughter Isla also tuned in and it was her selection that we kicked off with, an Amy MacDonald number which I enjoyed to my surprise. Next, as craft beer coarsed through our nostrils, came a Blondie track during which we agreed how delectable she was, I spent the best part of the eighties drooling over her you know (Blondie not Eilidh, not that Eilidh isn't worthy of being drooled over, I'm not dissing Aylee Mac or anything, oh sod it I'll stop digging). Eilidh was super company if a little impish, she dished out more cheek than I would usually deem acceptable, it's about time my guests accepted that I'm the star of the show, they need to know their place.
So two very pleasurable hours spent despite the pungent odour of stale ale seeping into the carpet before we made our escape into the Aberdeenshire wind and rain. Thank you Eilidh and thank you Eilidh's dad. Here's a link for those who missed it...listen-again , just pick 'Stoney Baloney'.
