C. G. F and the mandoline

[Newbeeneil]

No musical talent here I'm afraid....... maybe the Triangle?

The triangle is always handy to keep time to Neil you could be the percussion part of the orchestra.
Bkf orchestra

 

[Curly green finger's]

You’re certainly a man of many talents, Curly

I don't know Mr Poot, I've listened to the recordings this morning the beer made them sound better I think.

 

[Erichalfbee]

I wonder how many of us on the forum are rusty musicians? Enough to make an orchestra? Perhaps I should dust off my clarinet.

I can play the Triangle

 

[Curly green finger's]

I can play the Triangle

To many percussionists now. Perhaps you could play a tamberine or a shaker.
I've bongo drums?

 

[Murox]

I can 'play with' a cajon box drum - but Ive no real sense of rhythm .

Well.....play might have been a little optimistic?

The only highly tuned instrument I have now is my voice - and even that is now suffering from lack of excercise

Many things about you are highly tuned emyr, I'm yet to past judgement on your singing abilities.

Your best chance is probably to attend his Chapel when singing services resume.

And take an instrument along

funnily enough it wasn't long ago, I was sifting through my father's 'death box' which my mother (who I don't think ever went through it properly) left in my care when she remarried (it's taken me over twenty years to venture in there), there was also a load of the usual mother stuff in there (first baby photos, weighing cards etc) and also loads of stuff from my school days - all my National Youth theatre stuff, letters from various now well known directors and the judges adjudication notes when I got through the regional rounds to sing at the National isteddfod.

I too have sung in an Eisteddford - at Pentrepoeth boys junior school, Carmarthen, c. 1950 age c. 9. My father's friend, Waldo Lewis, told my father that I'd sung Welsh like Welshman (we were recent incomers). I've been proud of this ever since...

 

[The Poot]

I don't know Mr Poot, I've listened to the recordings this morning the beer made them sound better I think.

My favourite band, (since 1975 (dear oh dear)) has been Jethro Tull. Ian Anderson, mainly known as a flautist, is really skilled on mandolin.
He (and therefore the band) went through a folk Influenced phase - “Heavy Horses and “Songs From the Wood” as example albums. I just love the song “Moths” which features mandolin.

But me; I cannot play anything I’m afraid. Tried acoustic guitar, but just beyond me.

Yes, you must keep up the voice exercises, it's very important.

My signing really moves people.....

Usually to another room.

hopefully we can get back to more of this in the future.....Alun Wyn Jones, 100 per cent for effort!
