    In the last two months both my Dad and Mum have died. Mum this morning and in her memory this evening, having cared for her in the last part of her Dementia life, I have had a wee dram, listening to Jake Thackery and watched Billy Connolly videos. Thank you Billy for the relief from the emptiness.

    I have loved watching him since I was a kid I used to steal my dad's DVDs to watch him and when I was 27 I got to see him live in Dublin and he pointed at me and shook my hand, I cried it made my night! It had become a ritual for me after being out drinking to come home with my take away and stick Billy on, I once fell through a wall when I was drunk watching him I couldn't stop laughing, this man is a one of a kind ❤❤

      And the funny thing is, I could never see someone from "auld reekie" telling a story with such warmth, compassion and humour, the way the big yin does. But I see it as a natural ability in many Glaswegians. Just my observation ...

  • @jennysmedley8906

    I used to go and see Billy in the clubs & pubs when he was much younger, and purely a folk singer who told the odd joke, until he became a comedian who sang occasionally. He is one of a kind. ❤

    Hello from New Zealand. I remember years ago watching Billy tell the story about his mum. She had busted the windscreen of her car so Billy or his father fixed it. Because she had bad eye sight he put a windscreen that was magnified in her car. When she was driving up the road towards home all Billy could see was his mum behind the wheel of the car and she was magnified. He said she looked like Mr Magoo. Anyone no what that story was called, love to see it again. funny as hell.

    This reminds me when i was young and the mad stuff we used to do.
    Surfing down the street on the roof of a car with music blasting out of it, you'd get shot by the PC police these days.
    My mate's father was a panel beater, one night were heading out the club in the next town over from where we lived, 12 or 15 miles away.
    it was wet so my mate sneaks up to the garage and swipes the only car that was not getting fixed, a hearse.
    Did you know you can fit seven teenagers into a hearse?
    Anyway, we land over all set for a night out and five teenagers exited the back of the hearse and hit the club. 😁
    Two of the seven are gone now including my mate but at the time we were indestructible and out for the craic :)
    Ireland in the 80's could be a bit mad so I can relate to this story.

    He's become quite the artist since beginning knocked down by Parkinsons. Hell, he's making so much off his drawings and paintings he could have retired from standup years ago if had the idea to do so. There's no way Billy would have retired from his love of a good joke and an even better story, there's just no end of the laugh he loves to give people. Oh, by the way, those pictures; yah, there's so much demand for them that ya couldn't afford to buy the pencil shavings😅.
