This is my version of this great song by Lennon and McCartney.
Listen, enjoy and share!

Love Michael

Lyrics

Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you,
Tomorrow I’ll miss you;
Remember I’ll always be true.
And then while I’m away,
I’ll write home ev’ry day,
And I’ll send all my loving to you.

I’ll pretend That I’m kissing
the lips I am missing
And hope that my dreams will come true.
And then while I’m away,
I’ll write home ev’ry day,
And I’ll send all my loving to you.
All my loving I will send to you.
All my loving, darling I’ll be true.

Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you,
Tomorrow I’ll miss you:
Remember I’ll always be true.
And then while I’m away,
I’ll write home ev’ry day,
And I’ll send all my loving to you

All my loving I will send to you.
All my loving darling I’ll be True.
All my loving All my loving ooh
All my loving I will send to you

Merry Christmas

In the summer of 1978 I was on tour in Germany playing small concert halls and youth centers. I had a great time, especially because my Dad was travelling with me.
Just coming to the end of the tour I received a telegram (remember those days before mobile phones and internet?) The telegram read:

Fotosession Christmas Party album – Monday – 15.00 hrs – Hilton Hotel Schiphol – Dress in white.

As my last show was on Sunday it was going to be really close, plus…, I didn’t own anything remotely white…
We left Hannover very early on Mondaymorning, stopped off at a friend, borrowed his suit and arrived uncharacteristically on time only to discover they hadn’t finished the Christmas decorations and I had to wait for two more hours before the shoot began.

Merry Christmas!
Love Michael

Our first gig…

Our first gig as “The Blue Skies” was at the Dobbins Inn Hotel.
After setting up we played a few numbers, “Your cheatin’ heart”, amongst others. And then our old Vox AC blew up.

On closer inspection this was caused by various swiss rolls, apple pies and other sweets stacked at the back of it. They started to melt and then BANG. That was the end of that.

This story was told by George Reed.

Carrickfergus 1952-1968

Michael — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 13:08:59 +0000

I was born on 29 September 1952 in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. My father was a shoemaker, my mother took care of me, my two brothers and five sisters. I had a happy childhood.
On my twelfth birthday my mother gave me a guitar. It was a Kent 2 solid body with a Domino amplifier; nobody will remember this brand, but it made me very happy.
When I was twelve I played in “The Blue Skies”, George Reed (guitar) John Hunter (bass), Norman Kelly (keyboards), Dennis Stanley (drums) and myself (guitar and vocals). We practiced in a room over my father’s shop in St. Bridestreet.

My Dad drove us to the gigs, none of us were old enough for a drivers license.
When I was sixteen Norman and I decided to go to London, where we thought it was all happening. So we picked up our instruments and left…

Though many of his songs have been sung through others, nobody can make them sound better than Michael himself.
