Pink Water Taxi 24 hour Service operating on New Years Eve! The Pink Water Taxi will be operating on New Years Eve as it always has done, on a 24 hour basis. Pink Water Taxi 0428 238 190 The Fourth Choir Practice Ear witness account from Gillian Croft You do realise we are becoming a legend - even before we've performed. Who among you has not been bombarded with requests to visit certain jetties at a specific time next Tuesday, less requests than demands accompanied by sob stories of "we don't have (read can't afford) a tinny" or "my granddaughter (the prettiest granddaughter in the world, goes without saying) won't go to sleep until she's heard you sing Silent Night in German - we live at the top of the island, can you come up - specially for her?" Bob did a great job last week, by the time we began to realise he might be a soft touch he was out of there! Did you notice him last night sitting on a comfy sofa with a beatific smile on his face, cuddling his dog, a glass within clutching distance? No fool he. And as for John, rumour had it he was conducting a choir elsewhere last week. The truth of the matter is he booked into a very expensive health farm and received intensive treatment for choir fatigue. Well, I don't need to tell you it worked! I have never heard anyone change keys so quickly and effortlessly, he was sublime. Even rejected the offer of a mike, tossed it aside with disdain and proceeded to dominate us with the sheer weight of his ego - no sorry his expertise (typo). Prizes for the following: a name for the choir - can't be obscene, not too obscene that is. What people will say AFTER we've done our dash, no more than 60,000 words. Message for next Tuesday, if you can't fall in and keep singing don't come. Tonight at Frog Hollow at 7:30pm then on to Church Point around 8:30pm!! |
