'owensboro'...natalie merchant............ahm a' too late?........
in lawndawn rehearsing with my choir chums in battersea and they even put on a special 'wild mountain thyme' which was nice. what a choir............even if you dont run the marathon next weekend be sure to tune in, you may see the singers at 22 miles keeping the spirits alive.
It's never two hours of songs. It's 70 minutes of music, 15 minutes of unwanted noisome dietary information, 3 minutes unwanted reprise of the seriously untalented Fred My Collie, 5 minutes of news (mainly about Rangers), 3 minutes wasted telling us what we missed on the last miserable show and 21 minutes of at best banal and at worst certifiable wittering.
They're nice people, really they are. Please don't forget they also do a heck of a lot of charity work by encouraging others to part with their money over and above providing us with unimaginative programming.
I'd pledge 0.50p in order to produce the show just once in order to demonstrate just how better I could do it.
talking about.....as a young nipper one friday afternoon sitting by one of the early holes at carnoustie the famous golfer made a birdie putt then flicked his ball into to the gallery sitting round the edge of the green....it was just my luck that the guy sitting next to me caught the ball...gary player went on to win that 1968 championship......fast forward nearly 4 decades and sitting watching billy elliott....the guy's head in front was annoying but vaguely familiar and so it was when the interval lights went up that i nearly said to him.you know gary, you very nearly gave me one of your balls a few years back....hours later the bombs went off in london, livingstone gave one of the greatest speeches ever the olympics were coming.....and what a legacy this choir is...with some great upcoming gigs...watch this space.
Don't all rush at once...

This choir thing is all very well but if you want any hope of a good job you should concentrate on your Highers.

Gary Player a bomber? Surely not.
DeleteMeanwhile in Rio the main Olympic Stadium is closed as unsafe.
Yup.
DeleteTime to call in Kelvin Dale and The Volunteers to make it right.
If you need me to hold the torch .. Vicky doesn't mind me helping out.
DeleteSinging has its place but I think what they really need is a rain forest of extra-long Acrows.
DeleteThe choir might all be Strongboys for all you know.. Dale?
DeleteI saw them on TV
DeleteYou never know the strength of these people.
DeleteI saw them as TV's ☺
