harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,706 Posted September 20, 2007 I'm putting the compulsory playing of this DVD into my will, to be played at my wake with lots of booze and singing along, just to upset most of my friends and family. Erm, I think I'm busy that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave to the Grave 11 Posted December 6, 2007 I want this guy to sing at my funeral. When I go, I would like something with a little more dignity. I am sure this chap would be available for funerals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted December 9, 2007 I want this guy to sing at my funeral. When I go, I would like something with a little more dignity. I am sure this chap would be available for funerals. That would certainly make things go with a bang! Great clip though Dave, I saw Chris Lynam in June 1990 at a comedy club in Glasgow and was the unfortunate audience member who got dragged up onto the stage to help him out with his act, thankfully it wasn't inserting the firework!

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted January 3, 2008 [bruno! How nice to have you back, please stick around. So what's in the short instrumental break? A kazoo? Good to be back---hard to say how long I'll be, er, um, hanging here. In the midst of many things; but will try not to be so remiss in my visiting. The instrumental break works best with a few banjos while one legged tap dancers tethered together, hop around to the tune. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,366 Posted May 2, 2008 Staying on the theme of manufacturers of musical instruments, but going totally obscure, Charlie Blacklock, one the world's finest exponents of the musical saw, died a few months ago at the age of 91. He was also a renowned manufacturer of musical saws and much admired in the saw playing community. Here are just a couple of moving tributes. "He was just the sweetest guy...He always gave me the feeling that he would have liked me, even if I didn't play the saw." "Did I mention that he was also president of the Simian Society?" Check out Charlie in action (be warned, the music is a bit of an acquired taste ) I'm seriously tempted to buy a saw and learn how to play it. I could preform at night in my field, just to freak out the owls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,706 Posted May 2, 2008 I'm seriously tempted to buy a saw and learn how to play it. Oh, I'm sure we could find a canine-noodled deity around these parts who might give you some lessons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted May 3, 2008 Hello! Yup, old Charlie is dead. I really didn't think he would get much obit action though. If you're starting the saw, I'd reccommend the Sandvikens Stradivarius model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted May 6, 2008 A very fine choice of album. Mr Weiss is a great player. For something lighter, I'd recommend Ms. Natalia Paruz, and for something more...peculiar...oh, I can't whore myself like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monoclinic 39 Posted June 4, 2008 Windsor, greetings from a fellow Scot. Is Fraserburgh near Glasgow? If so, we could meet up for a drink next time I'm back home for the Rangers - Celtic derby. Here's my collection of funeral songs. 1. Flower of Scotland 2. Sailing 3. Amazing Grace 4.Christmas in Glasgow 5. No Mean City 6. Skye Boat Song 7. Rythm of My Heart 8. Every Beat of My Heart 9.The Rolling Hills of the Borders 10.Mull of Kintyre 11. You'll Never Walk Alone (Celtic's record, until the thieving Scousers got it) See what you think of that lot. And why does everybody keep knocking my posts off? Perhaps because you STILL haven't figured out the quote function, you haven't registered, you are actually a member (of the DL sense) who is having a little fun banter baiting, lack of Scottish knowledge (though see previous suggestion) or one of your schizophrenic identities friends and family has asked for them to be removed for revealing too much information (than we care for). HINT: When you press reply touch nothing in the white box below, then either type above or below what is written there. The [ quote ] command is there for a purpose.

Twelvetrees 10 Posted July 31, 2008 Not so much a musical recommendation as a literary one, but for the curious-minded, I can wholly recommend Rohan Kriwaczek's gorgeously obscure 'An Incomplete History of the Art of Funerary Violin' (Duckworth, 2006).
