LTPTP XXV: We Shall Overcome
We shall indeed. It's a lovely wee tune to learn. I've almost memorized it this morning, the idea being, when I encounter a piano, I want something to sit down and play on the bugger. I've a feeling that my keyboard's keys are lighter than a proper piano's, and there'll be a bit of effort transferring the skills I've gotten so far. Probably, at some point this year, I'll be in workplace with a piano. I'll print off some simple music and scales, and work at it, but it's likely to be in a public place so I want something to avoid making a twat of myself initially. It feels right that this should be the first tune I learn by heart.
In the Daily Mail, the people in the shed would have been Romanian gypsies and the policeman would have blamed everything on political correctness gone mad.
ReplyDeleteI love the combinations made from:
ReplyDelete"PC brigade" + "diktat" + "in a world gone mad".
If you're really lucky, in a letter to a paper, it might begin with "Why, oh why..?" Or even "Am I alone in thinking..?"
I particularly like letters from Spain and the USA, especially ones that manage to moan about both host and home country.
ReplyDeleteAlways makes me smile.
