christmas single 2014


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...
"And tonight thank God it's them instead of YOOOOOOOSE!" etc :)

Hello! I'm sorry that I've had to turn on the word verification feature again, but my inbox was being flooded with very dull spam. Genuine comments always brighten my day though, so thank you for taking the time to leave one :)
