Dick Smith Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I was just about to do it myself!What do you want us to talk about?

Spongebob Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 You know when you're popular when someone starts a thread with YOU as the subject!I'm sooooo jealous.Aha!SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWINKLE Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sorry that sounded like an advertisement - I didn't mean it to.Umm... What can we talk about? Do I annoy any of you - please be truthful. I like to post a lot in the lounge and I don't seem to have a lot to say on serious threads. The thing is I arrived in France when I was 23 and was practically adopted by my husbands family and friends. It's a bit like the mafia in these rural villages - if you know someone they embrace you as their own and look out for you as they would a son or daughter. What I'm saying is that I didn't really have to do any of the administrative things that you need to do when you come to live here - someone else did it for me. Can't help with much of that. I started singing with my husbands band so all my financial worries were sorted and I've been doing that ever since. I don't know what I'd do if I gave up the singing (I certainly don't want to) but it's getting physically harder for me every year. I am blessed with a lovely voice which doesn't seem to be packing in on me as I get older - so I figure that I should earn my living as long as I can with it. I am starting to consider concentrating more and more on jazz which I really enjoy now. I'm hopefully starting a three year course at the Conservatoire de Toulouse next September studying jazz & classical music. This will pave the way to me becoming a serious singing teacher (which I dabble in already) but I'm not sure it could ever be as satisfactory as being on stage is.There - now you know a little bit more[:)]Thanks for asking Dick!xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Head Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 You're certainly a nutter me Twinks, isn't the truth so much more refreshing? That's a lovely story.

You get in under the radar with lots of questions that some of us wouldn't have a clue about. I've seen you do it. [;-)]I'm very impressed with your plans for the future!

TWINKLE Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Thank-you Tresco - I can also count on you to make me feel better about myself.Why are you worried about the jazz - don't worry I don't follow the rules. They're just songs to me - not a scat in sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I just can't stand modern jazz. I have friends who love it, and they try to explain how brill it is, I think scats might come into it. [8-)]Intellectually (don't all laugh) I can grudgingly appreciate the skill, but I hate being grudging. I am a simple soul and don't want to struggle to 'like' something.

TWINKLE Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well modern jazz is mainly for the musiciens. I like to sing the old Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, and give different interpretations of great classics like Summertime, Autumn Leaves, Cry me a River etc... beautiful songs. I won't be studying an instrument at Conservatoire so I won't be musically involved with the modern stuff. I begrudge all the b l o o d y musiciens solos! I just sit there or stand there smiling until it's my turn again - it's so funny when people smile back at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tresco Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Gorgeous, or 'adorabubble' in the words of a 2ft high pal of mine. How cheesy is that?I believe we have a flute restoration person as a member here...did you spot him?Got to go, I have to pick up the concrete monster from Bordeaux in the morning. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
