So I go to see Andy Fairweather Low play last week and get chatting to him and his manager after the show - here's how the conversation goes . . .
Ant : great show Andy - believe it or not you were one of the first people I ever saw live on my own back in the late 70s , was when you did Be Bop n Holla - I still have it on Blue Vinyl . . . . . . .
AFL : and did you say you run Macaris - I'm always looking through the window , but I'll come in a say hello now
Manager : Ah Macaris - I used to manage Jim Capaldi for years - did you know his father was in your grandfathers show - Macari and his serenaders - Nick Capaldi
Ant : really ? well . . . . . . my grandmothers maiden name was Capaldi !
Manager : yes , thats right - he was her brother
Ant and AFL : Oh ! - I'm now speechless
So basically he was telling me that Jim Capaldi who was in Traffic with Steve Winwood etc etc was my Dads cousin !!!
How the *&^% do you get to 50 years old and not know that !!!!!!! ???????
Bloody amazing !!!!!!!
So how crazy is this ?????
