Subject: RE: Watching your fingers From: meself Date: 11 Apr 19 - 01:26 PM "but rather sniggered where the lyric was actually devoid of comic content" So - the audience actually "sniggered" because he looked at his fingers? Wow - sound like a real fun bunch. |
Subject: RE: Watching your fingers From: GUEST,Jerry Date: 11 Apr 19 - 02:16 PM No, sniggered because no one could hear critical lines in the chorus, so it became unintentionally amusing. It was a young student audience and less forgiving than a typical club audience. I have to say some of us really felt for him, because it was clear he would have gone down really well in an acoustic venue. |
Subject: RE: Watching your fingers From: punkfolkrocker Date: 11 Apr 19 - 02:30 PM careful with words like "snigger".. you never know who's trawling the internet needing to find things to be offended by... I have actually been semi-seriously 'advised' not to call the mrs "niggly" when we are out, and she's having a sulk in public... |

Subject: RE: Watching your fingers From: punkfolkrocker Date: 11 Apr 19 - 03:32 PM Tony Iommi.. well he can look.. but... "At the age of 17, Iommi lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an industrial accident on his last day of work in a sheet metal factory" Good job he's British.. loosing a middle finger would be devastating for a yank... |
Subject: RE: Watching your fingers From: GUEST,Jerry Date: 11 Apr 19 - 04:18 PM I meant sniggering as in involuntary juvenile giggling...... |
Subject: RE: Watching your fingers From: Tattie Bogle Date: 12 Apr 19 - 06:10 PM Jerry, see my post of 6th April: said more or less what you said 5 days later! |

Subject: RE: Watching your fingers From: GUEST,Jerry Date: 13 Apr 19 - 03:34 AM So you did. Sorry, I missed that, despite those exhorting us to read earlier postings before commenting. I have to say I’ve found myself going off mic the same way sometimes, and it’s something you have to always be wary of. |
Subject: RE: Watching your fingers From: Tattie Bogle Date: 13 Apr 19 - 05:21 PM Ok, Jerry, I had to snigger a bit at that! |
