Evening Toorak x

Evening, Mamya and all..... Of all the shows I costumed this was one of my favourites. MrG loved it. His grandson played it on the sax at his funeral.....tapping feet and smiles all around......x

[tonyav]

Difficult instrument to learn is the sax so I believe, gness.

[Toorak]

I bought an alto sax about 25 years ago - still can hardly get a note out of it.

[gness]

Coming from a musical family, Tony every flipping instrument was difficult for me. :-(
I had to learn to do a reel and a jig so I could at least do my turn at the gatherings. Jigs are out now but I can still just manage a reel....x

Some more jazz:

[JimF]

Oh my, gness, you've awaken memories having to "do your turn" at family ceilidhs. Once my Da had done "Annie Lawrie" and my Ma had done "The Rose of Tralee", I knew there was no escape!

[gness]

Liked that, Sanmac...x

[tonyav]

Keep practicing, Toorak. Copy Jr Walker ;-)

I learned to play three blind mice on the recorder, does that count gness.

[gness]

Jim, me too! And with a voice that would curdle cream all I could do was dance. We still have those gatherings. Last wedding the cousins and siblings played and sang beautifully so the other talentless cousin and I had to do a two hand reel. Thank god I'd had a couple of pints of Guinness before I got up... :-)
What did you have to do?

[Toorak]

Our family gatherings usually descended into “nobody’s child” :-(

[gness]

About as much as me on the triangle at school, Tony...and even then I couldn't clang it at the right moment...x

[Mamyalynne]

My Mother's party piece was 'Galway Bay' she won a competition singing that.

[Mamyalynne]

[gness]

Blimey, Toorak...that's sad!

[Toorak]

Gness - it truly is. I had an aunt who insisted on singing it at every opportunity :-(
