Helmethead�s intro was almost as funny as the song. Alan begins, �This is an audience participation song about a young hockey player. He�s only 17 but has made it into the league.�
Sean says as wistfully as a parent, �He�s all grown up now. This hockey child has grown so much and now look at him! *sniff* I'm so proud!�
More reminiscing took place and then Bob was finally able to start. He really looked totally in his element this evening. He was enjoying the crowd a lot. The crowd was enjoying him a lot too. He messed up the words to the last verse with no one bothering him and got a bemused look on his face. He grinned widely, raised his eyebrows and looked at Alan as if to say, �Well, you got your wish.� Alan laughed and took great delight in Bob�s messing up the words.
It was this song that Jean Marie wanted very much to hear. She had briefly dated a New York Ranger and said that this song just made her giggle. She got her wish! |
