Now if only I had any musical talent besides Rock Band

But I did enjoy!

*chuckles... thanks hun - no rock wouldn't do. I have a particular fondness for music that requires no electricity.

*hugs...

V.

i likes wish i could do that well

Heya Spectra!!!

*hugs...

I think you do just fine hun...

V.

ZOMGyay! *half-glomp*

*laughs and nips at his fingers for the 'glomp'...

V.

*rubs beak contemplatively* hmmmmmmm iiinnnnerresting... a nice challenge, a unique assignment.

i dont know about speed of results, etc, but consider me on it

I most certainly will... and never a bother on speed or timing - it's all for fun kiddo.

I see it as maybe squeezebox and fiddle... and maybe a mandolen... not to mention a lot of voices for the shouting parts.

*hugs...

V.

Amusing. Nothing much to say, I think the lyrics are full of silly stuff...

Anyway, enjoyed reading this. Great work.

you know I love silly...

did you post? I didn't see a link in the journal...

did you get all my emails?

work is finally letting up just a little...

V.

Yes, I have posted. Only about an hour ago. And my story is an adult story. I have tried keeping the prompt responses general rated, but hey, I must follow my inspiration.

Also, I've received your email. I'll be moving to the next phase of my editing process soon.

*giggles*

That was really funny! I could see the shanty choirs (that's what seaman's choirs are called here) in our town singing this!

*chuckles*

I couldn't help but wonder, though, if all those piddles were taken 'earlie in the mornin'...

*chuckles and gives her a hug... I don't know about early morning but I'm guessing after a good night's drinking and singing, the shanty choir would indeed have to go.

V.

*giggles*

That sounds quite logical, actually, yes...

*huggles the vixen back and grins*

Now I could make a really naughty remark about the preceding sentence, 'heigh ho, and up she rises', bu-u-ut... I won't

oh absolutely I love that one... what song was it... Drunk'n sailor? I have a wonderful copy of that by 'Great Big Sea'. They're a Neufie group and do wonderful seafaring songs...

V.

*giggles and nuzzles softly*

Yup, "What shall we do with the drunken sailor", that was indeed where I took both those lines from We were taught that song in school, and I should even still have a special version of it somewhere from waaaaaaay back when I graduated from elementary school/grade school; that year the school was exactly five years old, and for the lustrum, some teachers had written a song that we, the oldest class, were to sing at the performance for the parents we did; it was on the tune of Drunken Sailor!

what a horrible song to teach grade school children!

*chuckles and nuzzles her back...

of course, these days pretty much they all know what drunken is, Yes?

things were so different back then, weren't they?

V.

*giggles*

Yeh! I mean... when I finished that school, I was 10, pushing 11 after the summer vacation. Some age to teach someone a song about drunken sailors...

*laughs softly and nuzzles a large fennec ear*

Ah well... at least they didn't teach us "she'll be coming round the mountains" or "99 bottles of beer"...

Oh my... you know... all the years I never ever understood what 'skip to the loo my darling' meant... and then years later I found out it means bathroom or outhouse to our British cousins.

*giggles herself silly...

V.

*shakes her head and giggles cheerfully*

Hee hee! Ohmigosh, that's funny... Yes, I knew of the meaning of loo... always made me giggle when someone said "toodeloo!" as in a goodbye... I always imagined them going to the bathroom!

Nope, no foreshadowing here, right? ;) Couldn't be - I must be imagining things...

*laughs...

V.

i came up with a preliminary idea for this, during my daily hour-long drive home, so i fired up my phone's note recorder and *gasp* sang lol

it was atrocious, but seemed silly enough lol and enough to preserve the idea... but, for all of EastWest's choir glory, there's one glaring ommission: the pirate shanty choir hah!

*laughs in delight, clapping her paws...

that's wonderfulllllll..... I can't wait to hear it!

V.

I actually pictured this a kind of Victorian comedy or something similar. It was really fun to read whatever era it is |/=.^

Well thank you kindly...

V.
