Maybe I Cried, Just A Teardrop Or Two, I Would Not Die For You

Oh Romeo, Mindy Mccready

I have spent about 7 years looking for that song. All I had was a piece of paper with the singer and title stuck on my notice board for yonks. I hunted but couldn’t find it. It used to be played loads on Terry Wogan, (yep folks, I’m a Radio 2 girl all the way, far better than Radio 1), but he hasn’t played it for years. The last time I heard it was on Nick Barraclough’s Country Show. I scrawled it down, and the piece of paper has been in existence.

When I got the internet I spent along time looking for it, and concluded to my frustration I had written it down incorrectly. I had “Vindi Creed, Romeo” written down. I wouldn’t say its a million miles off.

I’d tried singing it to my mum but she didn’t remember it. So I was stuck waiting till it was played again.

Today I was looking for something, I spent ages tracking down where to download some songs by a band on my myspace, Out Of the Gray, who are brilliant but haven’t gotten to the CD stage it appears. Having been successful in finding three of their songs I hunted merrily for another singer I heard on last weeks Country Show, Sarah Braxton. She has a myspace but no actual website, (modern artists, what are they coming to?), and there’s no indication of an album release date. Although I did find one site saying its due out Feb 12th but I can’t find the site again.
Bye chance I remembered “Vindi” and had another Google shot. Her name naturally didn’t bring anything up, so I tried “Romeo”. Nothing still. Then I thought, “Hang on, there’s an “oh” before the Romeo in the chorus, lets try “Oh Romeo”, and whoa, wait a moment, you are KIDDING ME!

I found it, Oh Romeo by Mindy Mccready. Even better, I found the album on itunes, listened too it, fell in love then managed to get it for £3 on amazon.co.uk.

That was a long winded way of telling you I suppose, but OH MY GAWD I finally have it. I’ve been so hyper since, I’d made Oreo Brownie before I went internet hunting and baking always makes me happy. I cannot wait for the CD to get here!

Love and Huggles, Claire
