Seasonal Pester Power

Sometimes, I wish we could keep Nigel in at this time of year as the pester power tends to mount the nearer to the big day we get and yesterday was just one of those days.


He'd been charity shop mooching over in Worcester with Alice, when what did the little fellas eyes light upon?  


Not one, but TWO organs, both of which, he was assured, were in excellent working order.  Well, that was it, he was already there, imagining a raucous Christmas sing song round the old Joanna (all be it of electric and with a lot more knobs type nature) a la Eastenders and pictures were quickly sent to both Darrell and I, to which Darrell caustically replied, that it might help if one of us could actually play one or 'tother,


Coming back to earth with a slightly crestfallen bump, but not out, Nigel then text back asking whether a wifi microphone or two might be OK, so we could have a Karaoke evening with YouTube, like we had had back at our Greek hotel in September!  Well, what could I say and more importantly what would someone who shall remain nameless, say on hearing our festive catawalling? .........

..... So, I said yes, why not and if they were reasonably priced, why not go the whole hog and get four, one for each of us ....... after all, it is the season of goodwill to Nigel and all men!  What am I like?

Nigel certain has a very good imagination.

I had a piano, when I lived in the UK. This was the most difficult piece that I could play:

Now boyz I have an electric piano - I used to have lessons as a child but I was never as gifted musically as one of my brothers, it just came to him naturally, but hey ho - I still get a little bit of pleasure out of prodding those keys. I don't think I've EVER been in a charity shop which sells pianos - oh my word, what a joy. JantheFan x
