RossyBoy's Second Chances




Another bundle of cover versions .... 
maybe I should stop noticing them coz every time I stumble across one I just have to set it aside ! 
Just a word on a couple of the artists. 
Another fellow Scotsman on track #02 - Chris McClure was big at home in the Sixties; any of you U.K. people remember the TV music program "Stramash" ?!? 
And Irishman Andrew Strong on track #21 was the lead singer in the Dublin Soul band "The Commitments" - was that movie really 20 years ago ?!? 
Strong was only 17 years old at the time of the movie; his father was a well-known Irish Showband singer in his day.
