@Will Fly "Now for something entirely inappropriate." That caused me a titter. One of our club hosts introduces me by saying, "And now for something very different." I'm never quite sure what he means by that. I play autoharp, not white right-handed guitar. I sing songs from the 60s that nobody else sings any more, including my own. I'm a generation older than most there. People tell me that I still have a good voice, but they could be just being polite! I sing in a southern accent, in Yorkshire. I'm old and hairy and fat. I quite often forget, not just the words, but what I'm singing and where I am. And I have been known to take a hurried toilet break in the middle of one of my songs. (Soddin' prostate!) I've even written a song about that! But nobody seems to mind. I have occasionally woken up in the middle of a verse and thought, "My Gawd, it's quiet out there!" because everybody is listening. I guess that is the greatest accolade. Tone
