Things continue to look up. I was kindly invited to a concert on Sunday night, of Bach and other goodies, and I discovered there was a jazz band performing a couple of hours earlier, at a pub that brews its own weissbier. To thank the person paying for the Bach tickets, I insisted on taking her for pre-concert refreshments. It transpired that they didn't serve weissbier in the jazz lounge, so I'll have to go back another day. I should have known jazz with weissbier was too much to hope for.
Actually, I first heard the Bach piece as a teenager, when I went to a concert with Mary Hopkin. Her wee sister (who deserves to be trouser blogged, though sadly not in the biblical sense) was singing in the choir.
Albert? I've no interest in alcohol these days, but where did Mary Hopkin come from? Did she just appear? Was she at uni? She told me a dirty story once. (Well, I was there) Couldn't believe it! Such a nice girl as well!
ReplyDeleteAlbert? Who invited you to a Bach concert? Was this a romantic engagement? Were you hoping to get her drunk? Just wondering. Hotboy
ReplyDeleteI say!
ReplyDeleteI think the pub owner is missing a trick or two. How does he expect to sell his brew if you can't buy it in the lounge? Or am I missing some New Caledinoan nuance here?

Hotters, as you would know if you hadn't killed off your memory cells, Mary Hopkin has always been the pen name of the person with the long (now short) blonde hair. Does that help? Also, the inviter was the only person I know in NSC.
ReplyDeleteMingers, that's what I thought too. BTW, do you think I should download the flick cricket game for my ipod?
