So' I'd guess that his father and siblings all had Scottish birth certificates and accents - that may have influenced him .....

Re: Rod Stewart. Fan or no fan?
he was okay in the early days but once he started to believe in his image more than his music he started to become increasingly annoying and unlistenable in my opinion. His predilection for doing massively inferior covers of Tom Waits songs was the final nail in the coffin.

Apparently Mrs LD used to see him perform at a club in London before he became famous.
