I've suggested before that Wavyfunkywhiteboyracist's video is hard to understand. I have never seen anyone wallow a recorder around so much and I'm thinking its more probable he's demonstrating fellatio techniques.

Thanks for posting it. Rest assured that everyone will get the humour with which it was done........Except One!!! (wonder who that could be?)

s&r, Don, olddude, Smokey, Little Hawk, Spaw - thanks.

Well, there you have it: 44 years of dedication to my craft and I end up trying to make out with a stuffed bear and being lectured on production values by a stuffed owl. Way to go...

But, if the stuffed owl happens to be reading this, let me explain how this 2 minutes of "silliness" came about.

01. Laid down a hi-hat backing track
02. Laid down fingerstyle guitar track
03. Laid down acoustic bass guitar track
04. Laid down vocal track 1
05. Laid down vocal track 2
06. Laid down vocal track 3
07. Bounced vocal tracks down to 1 track
08. Laid down muted trumpet track
09. Laid down distorted guitar track
10. Mixed down all tracks, excluding hi-hat, and dumped to Mac Book Pro using Audacity
11. Filmed guitar & vocal (shot 1) - lip-synched to playback
12. Filmed whistle shot (shot 2) - mime-synched to playback
13. Filmed uke shot (shot 3) - mime-synched to playback
14. Filmed bear shot (shot 4) - lip-synched to playback
15. Dumped filmed shots to Mac Book using iMovie
16. Created mp3 of audio with Audacity and imported into iMovie
17. Cut and mixed video shots with cross-fades to audio track in iMovie
18. Added credits
19. Mixed down to high-quality Quicktime
20. Uploaded to YouTube and Vimeo

Easy, wasn't it? All that for 2 minutes of fun.

The point, me old stuffed owl, is that you have to spend time learning your trade, making your musical bones, before you pontificate on what should and shouldn't be. All sorts of fish swim in the Mudcat pond. There are whales out there. I'm just a medium-sized shark but you're just the teensiest of tiddlers. You should remember that before you start your lecture tour.

Well of course you wouldn't like it, you pillock - that was the whole point of directing you to it! It was made for my grandson, but I hope you took in the lessons of the whistle solo... Actually, if you think the voice is too much in the background, then either your ears or your equipment is seriously faulty.

It's FUN, idiot! Which is what most music should have within it - the power to entertain and amuse and be frivolous - not just be a fucking nationalistic "statement" within some bigoted cultural envelope.

Your reaction, which was utterly predictable, just demonstrates what a cloth head you are. Humourless, pedantic, monomanic, pedestrian and dull - all of which, coupled to your idiotic nationalistic views, makes you a pretty sad specimen.

P. S. Someone suggested somewhere that the main reason David is here is that he's trying to find a girl friend. If he does, can someone who lives near him take a bicycle pump over to where he lives and help him blow her up?

Gold and crisp with the sparkle of salt and

The paper bag, greaseproof, and transparent

The mackerel of the sky
Waiting for the jetsam of the tourist

Account for the foibles of the poetic muse that whilst so fickle in having deserted you, has nevertheless left you forever beguiled by her spoils, however so Narcissistically.

Account also for objectivism, even at the remove of these several & ever receding years whereby you might still find this not only only worthy of your own attention, but also of ours.

From whither this perplexing vanity whereby all you inspire is the derision and abuse that, no doubt, ascends you to the status of the misunderstood martyr; one so noble as to be forever at odds with his times for the very best of reasons whilst awaiting his glorious day...

Don (who called a recorder made in Japan an "Engrish frute" and a famous Aboriginal instrument a "didgeridon't" before also falsely calling me - who has only questioned the act of immigration itself - "bigotted" and "racist", and also just tried falsely putting words in my mouth), the above link leads to a list of other publications in which my poems have been printed - which, if you wish, you can get to via the link below.

IB: because I've committed my repertoire of chants, songs, and hymns (use same link) to memory, I try to get through them once a week; but, with my poems, I take my paperback on stage and read them - thus, I only go through them once a year.

And to crude Catspaw - it's you, NOT I, who has used terms such as "whiteboy".

Poem 187 of 230: A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001

Out of the museum-and-gallery
(Wiser on Cookson and the local way),
Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me,
Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay;
Before, on either side, Marine Parks -
The southern-one a most beautiful place,
Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards
In a small lake at a scenic-hill's base.

Then (holding chips from the parade's cafe
And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above)
Onto the South Pier I made my way:
Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove -
And high-and-dry sands held from transgression
By growth of grass and the weaving of wood,
Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun,
Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth's hood.

"I have been published elsewhere. . . ."

Once—yet again!—you link to your own site, claiming that you have been "published elsewhere." That's hardly "published" in the usually accepted sense of the word. Pathetic! Hell, by that standard, I could put a sign in my front window and claim that I'm "published."

But I don't have to do that, however, because I have been published:   one article in Sing Out! Magazine some years back, and some sixteen articles in Victory Review. These are magazines that are printed and distributed to the public, containing articles that I have written which have been vetted and approved by editors. That's what is usually meant by the word "published."

So you don't consider yourself a racist despite your bigoted philosophy. You object to the presence in England of those dark-skinned people with their Jamaican, Pakistani, Indian, Kenyan and South African accents who have inundated your good English air with the smell of curry and other exotic aromas wafting out of restaurants, and who actually take jobs that you can't muster the ambition to go out an apply for because, after all, it's so much easier to live on the dole (that their taxes are paying for) and sit there at home playing your "English flute," and then you whine about how they are polluting your "good English culture." "Oh, they're perfectly nice people—in their own countries. But I don't want them living in my country!"

No matter how you slice it, that's bigotry.

And then you try to imply that I am bigoted because of a touch of whimsy ("Engrish frute"). They are not words I use in everyday conversation. It was strictly ad hoc, and it was a joke, in case you missed it. And I presume that you're trying to imply that my play on words with "didgeridoo" indicates that I am being disrespectful of Indigenous Australians (whom you keep calling "Aborigines," which many Indigenous Australians find patronizing and offensive). You'll have to explain how you came up with that, because it's certainly reaching for straws.

Regarding jokes making use of dialects:   Those who know me know that there is nothing racist or disrespectful about telling the occasional dialect joke, or about me. Many comedians base their humor on the use of dialects, and although I don't regard myself as a comedian, I am not above telling an occasional joke in appropriate circumstances.

I have a good friend of the Jewish persuasion from whom I have learned a fairly extensive repertoire of Jewish jokes, most of which incorporated or rely on the use of dialect. At a party when the jokes are going 'round, he will often ask me to tell a joke that I learned from him—because, despite the fact that I am not Jewish myself, I can do a better Jewish accent than he can!

Does that make me anti-Semitic? I don't think so!!

I also have a sizeable repertoire of "Lord Chumley" jokes that I learned from an English friend of mine, and I tell them with a fairly broad English accent. In fact, he and I sometimes did them together, with him playing Chumley and me playing Chumley's man-servant, Meadows ("Jolly good, sir! You got him on the rise!").

Does that make me anti-English. No, indeed! If our circumstances allowed, both my wife and I could live very happily in England and could be very easily persuaded to do so. But then, of course, we would be polluting David's "good English culture" with our barbaric American presence.

A good singer also needs to be a good actor. And actors assume accents all the time as an integral part of their art. And this, in no way, indicates that they are "racist" or are showing any disrespect whatsoever to the ethnic or national group whose accent they assume.

British actor Hugh Laurie (Bertie Wooster) is currently playing an idiosyncratic doctor in an American television medical drama entitle "House." He has assumed an American accent for the role, and he does it so well that most people who are not familiar with his previous work are unaware that he is English. Because he can and does affect an American accent, only a total horse's ass would assume that he is being bigoted or disrespectful toward Americans by doing so.

And by the way, whether I am—or anyone else here is—a racist or not has nothing to do with the fact that, by your own utterances, you have established beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are.
