Bill, on right, Col and George cuddle up between takes |
Don’t Start Me Talking – Vocals
Pete
has been good mates with Bill for something approaching 25 years.
During that time they have found themselves at parties which often
became a bit boozy, and, late at night, some shifty characters would
drag out a guitar, a kazoo and something to bang. If lubricated
sufficiently, Bill would break into a song or two, as often as not songs
that reflected Bill’s time spent in Papua New Guinea – lovely lilting
South Pacific tunes.
Pete
has always reckoned Bill has a fine voice, and has pestered the shy,
reticent Bill for years............”Come on down to The Shed. We’ll have
a laugh, a couple of beers, and who knows, we might just manage a
recording or two”.
Well
in October 2013 it finally happened. With some great backing from his
mates Colin Enright, Kevin Abbey and Pete, and with very welcome
assistance from Kevin Breeze and Raymond Toms, Bill stepped up to the
microphone and sang The Shed version of Sonny Boy Williamson’s classic
blues “Don’t Start Me Talking”.
Welcome to the PBGB Family Bill. About time, but better late than never ay ??
