Stephen Chambers Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 That is truly ugly. Maybe Al could stick it beside his pond ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Evans Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Well, I was just asked by a colleague at coffee, "where's your monkey?" when it was mentioned to him I play concertina. "Why a monkey" says I? "I dunno, just seems to go together" says he. I scratched myself and said ooh-ooh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Barnert Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 (edited) Careful, there, Mark. Helen doesn't want to hire you as a concertina player, she wants to hire you as the monkey.

Helen Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Weeeeeeeeeeeelllll David, What did you write the first time, before the total rewrite? Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Essentially the same thing, only even more awkwardly stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Evans Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I'm good to go that way too!...Although I've more often been called a baboon and worse when at 6:00 in the a.m. awaking my teenage children for breakfast with a rousing selection of reels on my concertina. By the way, I have a great green felt vest and my great grandfather's red Shriner's fez. Now if I can just get that tassel spinning while playing...there are the beginnings of an act here!

Helen Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Oh golly, Mark, this is an act that I would gladly pay to see. Helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
