Have I ever mentioned how lovely a dad Graham is? He's thoroughly under-appreciated by Dulcie who rations his kisses to one a day...if he's lucky! But he battles on and showers her with love and affection regardless. One of the lovely things he does is to make Dulcie a Christmas single each year, recording a song at home and then getting it pressed onto vinyl for the jukebox. This is the third time he's done it and I think it might be my favourite so far. (I hope the Soundcloud thingummy works so you can hear it.) This year Dulcie is riding a Chopper to victory in the Tour de France. In previous years she's been a wrestler and a racing driver. Graham always likes me to participate in some way too. Usually I come close to being edited out and end up with a couple of backing warbles here and there, but this year I've been promoted to sharing lead vocals! Oh, yeah! I'm really not a singer, but I like featuring for posterity's sake and I turned out sounding better than I feared I might have. I did have to slug a couple of amarettos to get in the zone, mind you, which might explain how I ended up looking like this...

ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie. It always disrupts the whole of November/December in our house, but so worth it :)
DeleteThis is so awesome! It has the jingle-jangle tones of Glasgow's indie scene's finest artistes! Is it OK to share this online? It's SO AMAZING!
