Ahh that's what happens when you press the return button at the wrong time.

I got a gig in Norway to play at some old peoples homes for two weeks(Had 4 weeks, but gave 2 to a mate) Three OAP homes in a day every week day. Mostly to sing at lunch time. Yeah you try that. Clocked up about 200km each day. Got paid for the mileage as well as the gig. Nice little earner, that. Well Richard, it happens over here in Scandinavia. Trouble is that the residents of OAP homes in Norway were mostly demeted. and very sleepy at lunch time. Trying to get them to sing along to English Folk Songs. Hmmm. Tough audience. There was one that wanted to dance with me whilst I was playing a medly on the melodeon.
Interesting.
One resident brought out his saw and played along with me on that.
