If I could give this 10 stars I would.
Firstly, if you don’t listen to this on audiobook, you’re missing a treat.
Billy’s narration and storytelling are fantastic. Including the moments where he is cracking himself up laughing, which have been left into the edit. Pure joy.
I realised I’ve read a few books about Billy‘s life before, but never from his own mouth. This follows him from birth until now. Growing up in Glasgow, his years as a welder, folk singer, banjo player, comedian and all around windswept and interesting fella.
At times this is hard going because Billy has had a complicated and hard going life. But through his narration on the audiobook, there is always the sense of hope and willingness to share his story.
There are some very hard topics to deal with, but he comes to them from a place of understanding and clarification.
There are plenty of the stories that you know and love if you are a fan of Billy’s. From dancing around naked, to wishing Parkinson had kept his disease from self...
I really enjoyed this, I am grateful that Billy shared his life.
