Off on a tangent
When I was younger I was in a band called "Reno Nirvana". No, not a misprint but a play on words. The closest we ever came to having any success was:
- our lead singer's self-published poetry (which wasn't really anything to do with the rest of us),
- producing a demo tape of a song called "Selina Scott, Breakfast Television Girl" that we hoped would be played on the BBC's new Breakfast TV service (it wasn't), and
- planning a gig at a bar in Worthing that then closed down before we had a chance to hit the big time.
I mention this only because I wondered this morning whether anyone was currently performing as an Oxfordshire tribute to Whitney Houston. "Witney Oxon" has a good sound to it, I reckon.
I'll be off now...

still on the tangent - i did christen a cade lamb 'Whitney'-something to do with the long black legs -on the lamb of course!
I'm not sure I can match that... although I once had a chicken called "Book book". Because of the librarian joke, you see.
hello i only played the triangle at the school play jep x
i can play greensleeves on the recorder. shall we form a new band?
I'm not as good as I used to be - I still have the same keyboard but my fingers get tangled more often. Still, I like the band idea. Do you think we could rehearse together online?
Subtle is my middle name !!
that sounds like it counts, achievement-wise, for heady celebrity status nowadays.
