Found my credo

From Florence Foster Jenkins (of blessed memory) quoted in the Book of heroic failures is a saying I think I will take as my motto:
"People may say I can't sing, but noone can ever say I didn't sing."

Ah Florence Foster Jenkins - one of my all-time heroines!

I was once driving to work with Radio 3 on in the car. They played FFJ singing the "bell" song from Lakmé - I laughed so much, with tears in my eyes, that I nearly crashed the car.

Must get my vinyl of her out of the rack and give it a twirl...
