And there was another thing I'd no gi'en a thocht, and that was the way sae many o' them knew ma songs frae havin' heard them on the gramaphone.
It wasna till after I'd been in America that I made sae many records, but I'd made enough at lime for some of my songs tae become popular, and so it wasna quite sicca novelty as I'd thought it micht be for them to hear me.

Oh, aye, what wi' one thing and another it would have been my ain fault had that audience no liked hearing me sing that nicht.
But I was fairly overwhelmed by what happened when I'd finished my first song.

The house rose and roared at me.

I'd never seen sic a demonstration.

I'd had applause in my time, but nothing like that.
They laughed frae the moment I first waggled my kilt at them, before I did more than laugh as I came oot to walk aroond.
