Being bedridden and living at the antipodes makes that a somewhat challenging proposition for me (not to mention arthritis in the hands and shortage of talent), but I hope to god that young Scots musicians are queueing up to do and continue to do just that!

[scots-l] Johnny Cunningham
Why are all these brilliant Scots singers and instrumentalists dying? The same reason all the brilliant American rockabilly performers are dying recently.. Time passes.. He was only in his 50s. There must have been a genetic component, since his brother has also had a series of heart attacks. And being a bit overweight, drinking more than was good for him and leading the lifestyle that goes with being on the road almost all the time can't have helped. Not quite the poster child Hamish Imlach was but still a typical Scottish male of his generation all round. I only met him a couple of times but he came across as both thoroughly unapologetic about his talent and equally thoroughly unpretentious about it. I'd have looked forward to meeting him again. It just means we have to step up and fill their shoes..
