What next?

I am writing this to the sound of the karaoke version of Bat Out Of Hell blasting through the estate that I live on. Just across the road is a man with a microphone, standing right outside his front door. He is even doing the chat between songs. There are two or three people standing around looking at him. I daresay he thinks he is performing a public service; entertaining folks in these trying times. I suppose he has a half decent voice, but even if he had a completely decent voice I would still rather he wasn't there. How ridiculous do things have to get before all this is over?

People here are getting dressed up just to put the bins out laugh
I can see him laugh
He's carrying on like he was playing an arena, Merc.
I'm with you on this one. Why do we have to be subjected to all this "Free entertainment" mumbling
He's performing "The Wonder Of You" at the moment.
I wish you had of videoed him laugh
I wish it were you, rather than me, in a position to judge how entertaining it is, Loh.
I wish I dare, Merc.
There's a lot of wishing going on.
He looks like he would love to be videoed laugh
My daughter in Paris stands out on the balcony playing the theremin - can you imagine how weird the neighbours must think that!? By the nature of the instrument she can neither sing (jazz) nor play piano accordion at the same time, but imagine a virtual trio of herself doing all three
I'm thinking people like this may be hoping to be "Discovered" without putting in all the effort in qualifying for "Britain's got talent"
Harb if you have a mic you get out there and do a duet laugh
I just attempted to video him, Merc, just as he was announcing he is taking a short break. I don't know who he was announcing it to, I couldn't see anybody. I'll have another go when he comes back.
That sort of thing is probably more appropriate in Paris than where I live, Fargo.
Your having so much fun..I wish I was your neighbour too laugh
My guess is that he is a pub entertainer, Loh.
I wish I could play the theremin smitten


I don't have any free entertainment from the neigbours here.

I'm the only one playing the piano and I wish some would join with other instruments but...I have no neighbours at the moment.
Harb he seems like my soul mate laugh
What is a theremin?
Maybe I'll have to go to Paris and join my nephew playing his instruments?
You only have to wave your hands about, Daniela. I will still sound atrocious whether you know what you're doing or not.
Daniele can you video yourself playing the piano?
Merc, the thermin is a lovely electronic musical instrument that requires no physical contact.

You just have to move your hands above it in order to produce a sound.
I would love that..Give me something different to do
It pointingwill still sound atrocious whether you know what you're doing or not.
Merc, I wouldn't have a clue how to put the video here if I did?
I only know how to send it to friends via WhatsApp.

Or...give them a live show?wink
Harb laugh
Daniele you can upload to youtube and post it herehug
Harb, are you talking to yourself?confused
I started this blog wishing the man would go away. Now I am wishing he would come back so I can try to video him. Stange how quickly things can turn around. confused
Madre Mia, Merc, you're asking me the impossible doh

As I said, I prefer to give people a LIVE show.


What about some singing on Vocaroo?
It seems so, Daniela; a bit like the man across the road.
Well, call him Herbie?

Or send him a message?

Have you got a mic?
You can record the piano on your phone and upload that onto vocaroo, Daniela.
Call him about what, Daniela?
Daniele yeah sing on vocaroo..I cant sing to save my life laugh
Herb, CALL the guy back so you can video him!! help


Thanks for the tip. I'll have to see...I don't really feel in a tech mood today.yawn
