To Make Music - My Musical Instruments Plagiaristically
These Are All The Things In My House That I Can Make Noise With As A Plagiaristic Poem
Introduction
My mate Jim, singer with The Abominable Showmen, has invited me and Fi to his 60th birthday bash in January 2024. He has also asked me if I would guest with The Showmen and sing "Li'l Devil", which of course I jumped at, though not sure when the gig is.
Above is a recording of me singing with Spoon(Toon) in 2006 so you can hear what I sound like.
This then inspired me to write this Plagiaristic Poem about the instruments in my possession. If you want to know more about my Plagiaristic Poetry there is an intro at the end of this piece.

Ode To Vocal
Vocal may not be too happy about choosing their platform as "ordinary", but to Vocal members, it is something where we are at home, something we take, rightly or wrongly, for granted. We miss it when it's not there in the same way you would miss electricity or light or water. It is part of our lives so is therefore ordinary but an essential platform for our creativity.

Quite an interesting collection of noise makers!
Oh this was so wonderful! I absolutely loved it!
Some unusual instruments. Just need to add a banjo and fiddle to the mix ;)
Your girls most had ton of fun growing up with instruments in the household . π
