Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
N.B. The Portsmouth Sinfonia is an orchestra made up of Portsmouth Art Students who could either not play an instrument at all, or, if they could, had to play an instrument they couldn't play.
ReplyDeleteOf course, practice makes perfect.
DeleteGiven the conditions I am amazed that the piece is recognizable.
ReplyDeleteThats just brill!

May I suggest that everyone listens at least to 3 mins. The orchestra's return after the piano solo is one of music's high points.
ReplyDeleteAargh! Hilarious
ReplyDeleteAt 8.51 a.m I thought I'd better give the glass of wine a miss and sit back and listen as I apply my make-up by the trowel-load. Just slapping on the industrial strength foundation when the music started... Now I know I haven't got a good ear, but even to me, it did sound a bit ruff. I hadn't read the comments at this stage, so idly thought perhaps a glass of whine might be prudent?
ReplyDeleteThoughts of Les Dawson playing the piano, idly flitted through my mind.
A funny post to start the weekend with a flourish.

Glass of wine in one hand and tone-deaf ears firmly attached to my head, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Was I not supposed to?
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me a little of the first time I heard my son's TAFE (Technical and Further Education) class play heavy metal. It would have been difficult to tell if they were in tune or not, regardless of their skill. They did improve over time, thankfully.
I have sat through many of my children's and grandchildren's school concerts. I appreciate them more now.
ReplyDeleteExcellent? :o] I thought of Les Dawson too.
