Susan and the Kid's did not want me to take this Job, as I would be Working Away from Home, on a 2 Week On and 2 Weeks Off Basis, but I had to get a Job and this was the First Job, I Applied for and I got it fairly Quickly.
As I said in Previous Post, at this time in my Life, I had Never been on a Airplane before, let alone a Helicopter, so it was all New to me!
I remember getting everything together a couple of Days previous and I was all ready to go!
I believe it was a Thursday Morning of my First Trip, at this time I never had a Car, but all the Worker's were Picked up in a Mini-Bus at several different Places, around my Area.
The Pick Up time was about 5 in the Morning, so I left my House about 20 Minutes before hand to walk about 0.5 Mile to the Pick -Up point, where we Lived at the Time was a Large Built up Area, but only about 10 mins away it was all Fields and Grassy areas!
I was going to walk up and around all the Houses, but decided to cut over the Field, to a short cut I knew, to save about 5 minutes!
It was Pitch Black walking over these Fields, the Pick-Up Point was opposite a Pub Called "The Sun" it was going Fine until about 10 Paces from the End of this Grassy Area!
This area now, some 30 Years later, is all Built up with hundred's of Houses, but back then there was only 1 section of Houses all the rest as I said was Fields!
When the Mini-Bus finally arrived I remember everybody having a Good Laugh at my Mis-hap, so this was the Start of my Life, working Offshore, but how long would this Last!
The Track's called "Holdin' On (to Your Love).
The Album had 9 Tracks, all of which were Great, the Album had some Great Musicians and Backing Singers, I will do a entire Post in the Future concerning this Album.
Incidentally , one of the Album Mixers was Don Mizell, who I have Featured on this Blog, recently!
