Uncle Tone Criticism at singarounds (493* d) RE: Criticism at singarounds 24 Oct 13


@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.
