Cool!

The Wind in the Willows in Bite-Size Verse
http://www.richardcuddington.com/sample_verse_15.html
The jailer's daughter helps Toad to escape from prison.
‘Toad, listen for a moment,’
The kind girl finally said.
She whispered to the Toad
As she gently bowed her head.
‘My aunt’s a washer woman.’
‘There, there, dear,’ Toad replied.
‘I have aunts who ought to be.’
He sniggered as he lied.
‘Be quiet for a minute,
You talk too much,’ she said.
‘And while I’m trying to think
Your talking hurts my head.
‘As I said I have an aunt,
She washes for the castle,
She takes it out on Mondays
Wrapped in a huge, brown parcel.
‘She brings it back on Fridays –
This is Thursday, as you know –
Now this is what occurs to me;
You’re rich – or say you’re so.
‘She’s poor and a few sovereigns
Would not be missed by you,
But they would mean a lot to her
And help her to get through.
‘I think if you approached her
And “squared” her, as you’d say,
You might reach an agreement
Which would help you get away.
‘She could let you have her dress,
Her bonnet and her cape;
Disguised then as a woman
You could make a bold escape.
‘You’re like her in some ways,
Especially round the waist.’
‘We’re not alike,’ Toad crossly said
With evident distaste.
‘I have a pleasant figure
Whatever you may say.’
‘So has my aunt,’ the girl replied,
‘But have it your own way.’Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,397,686I've sung professionally for 25 years :), but this lady would be an asset in any business, I know from experience how much courage it takes to get up in front of a lot of very judgemental people and sing. A lot of actors, singers or performers are very shy people, me included, it can feel like your dying a thousand deaths, to get up on stage and perform. Bravo to this couragous, beautiful woman!!!

This is a reply to # 1,397,742Theres a lot of things that will kill you :). I've sung everything in my singing career, from heavy metal to jazz and even opera, (I'm an alto), for a year or two. I made a pact with myself that if I ever blow less than 600 on the peak flow metre I'll give up smoking, until then, well!!!!

I have a friend who is going to video our next gig, I'll post it when its done. I don't really record much, perform live mainly. I write songs for other bands and some of them have been recorded and done pretty well over here in Aus. I would have loved to be able to live doing only music, but the world is such that unless your very lucky and get famous, you need to have a 'real job' to pay your way. The lady in the first vid of this thread, even with such a magical voice , will probably go back to obscurity because she just doesn't fit the commercial music mould. Its all about how you look these days, sad but true.
Ah well, back to the lab......

This is a reply to # 1,397,861Will look forward to the music vid. My sweetie sings as well. After 17 years, she and her former singing partner are working up some sets. So always have a soft spot for professionals in the entertainment biz. Hey, with your red hair, jeepers, appearance looks pretty darn spiffy to me.

This is a reply to # 1,397,920Thanks cisco, Its dark brown really, just the lighting makes it look more red. As your sweetie probably knows, theres nothing quite like being on stage and belting out a good tune.

This is a reply to # 1,397,939Well, we *have* to hear some music. Jeez. I think it is ultra cool. I used to love tuning into Australia on a SW radio and listen to trucker songs, years ago. And yes, Ms. D does like being on stage. Sings choral and opera now. Back when it was everything pop, rock and roll, blues, country, etc. I threw together a site a few years ago and thought to throw a couple more pics in it recently of Ms. D, some tunes she performed, and a few pics. http://ms.d.francisca.org/
I am jealous of you guys because my craft ended a long time ago. You singers can just go on forever.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,398,346Singing comes back with iodine, I'm proof of that.
So, you're a retired ballet dancer and your woman is a singer.
Ya'll are a talented couple! Dang! Do you teach dance now?- Re: cool points are seriously on the... ciscokid

This is a reply to # 1,398,349Naw. Me no teach dance. Stopped awhile ago. Got in to it to rehab a badly torn up knee from all kinds of sports stuff. A girlfriend at the time recommended a dance class as one method of rehab. No way. I was a jock. Recruited for several sports into colleges. Noooo way. Knee was bad tho, so I tried it. I was a male teenager and walked in to a room full of girls, women in leotards. Good lord. Brought a whole new meaning to the word testosterone. Makes males lose their minds. Soon, came to my senses and found I liked it. Stayed with it. The leotards didn't hurt either. Eventually had stop years later because knee was telling me to. Did some Broadway, but the truth was staring at me. If I didn't want to end up crippled, I had to stop. Really miss it tho.
Is why I am jealous of singers. Their craft can get better and better. The half life of ballet dancers is pretty short.

This is a reply to # 1,398,343Got me thinking about your response, about how amazing it is that she is putting together some sets with her musical partner from when she stopped 18 years ago. Ya, it's pretty cool. She's been performing with the local chorale and opera for years. But this is good.
10 months after her transplant, the hospital had a 10 year transplant thing. Ending up at a Rockies Baseball game in Colorado. Their first season. It was arranged she would sing the National Anthem. Was at the old Bronco stadium. 76,000 people. A capella. She was very nervous about her appearance. Meds had caused significant weight gain and "moonface" as they call it. Al Jarreau was in town and had come, looking to sing the anthem. She bumped him. How often do you get to say that? They announced the "transplantation day" and then her. You could feel 76,000 people collectively thinking "poor thing", can she walk, will she eek out some homely rendition of the anthem. She was standing near home plate. On cue she started. First stanza was nerves. Reserved. I watched as she dug in, dug down, drew in a breath to reach the last seats in the joint. She blew it up. The place started cheering, well before the end. At the end, place went nuts. As she walked off people were yelling to her stuff like "that's how the national anthem should be sung", etc. IOW, she transcended the specter of her as a poorly medical object and she blew the place up through her voice. It is amazing when ability transcends appearance. Al Jarreau leaned to me and said "man, that girl can SING." Yup. We are looking forward to more soon.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,399,213I got goose bumps. That is so beautiful.
I love that stadium - best July 4th fireworks display I've ever seen! I was at the first Rockies game ever...how many people can say that? It's nothing compared to bumping Al...but...ya gotta score rock star points where ya can - lololol
Let your woman know she's an inspiration to me right now.
Her and Karen are right up there on my board to look up to when I'm feeling pitiful currently - thank you so much for sharing that story last week.
It really changed my 'tude. :)- Re: Ciiiissssco.... ciscokid

This is a reply to # 1,399,235Well I'll be durned... we went to the SECOND game the Rockies ever played at home. The next day. You saw Eric Young hit that home run at the first at bat for the Rockies. I listened to it and thought man, that would have been something to see and hear. You did!
Ya, she can be inspirational. What she has had to endure is, well... it's more than a few average bears, hey boo boo? Everyone has pain in their lives of course. We never ever forget that....

I got to see her perform on television
and it was great to see the judges
enraptured. She was wonderful and I
cheered when she was finished. She
is one of my new singing heroines!
I hope she wins too.
blessings,
Zoe
