If tech could do it..... who would be up for a Gransnet singalong?

We could become the GNer's version of Calendar Girl's I can place my symbol's in a striking pose!!! Granto7 your poem is top's

glamma

Gin-sodden vocal chords, so no singing – but I am masterly on the delta blues triangle.

I play a mean foghorn

Wouldn't want anybody singing over my pie and chips. Time and a place for everything.

Think I would have been right pissed off.

That was in response to the "flashmob" (?!) video btw.

But better than the screeching "singer" on those shop musak tapes who sounds as though she is being tortured. Music in shops is supposed to put you in the mood to spend. With some of them it is more like a mood to murder whoever is in charge of the wind-up gramophone.

Not that a Gransnet sing-song would be anything like that ......we'd be more like the choir in the video. Wouldn't we?

Yes, definitely Elegran - so long as I didn't add my flat and tuneless penn'orth!



Will watch this space with interest though.

glass, you need to put a shout out for Josi tomorrow morning.

I'll do it if you like.

jingle I cant shout at Josie, I am saving my voice you never know I am off to have a gargle....

It would certainly be a challenge but I'll give it a try! It's a pity that nice young man on the telly who gets people to sing - old and young - when they've not done it before, is too young to be a GN. He looks too young to be a parent but I believe he is

I am very good at lip-synching.

Looking good, hope you are all doing your vocal exercises

I have just tried to sing along to Songs of Praise. Disaaaaster, darlings. Even with DD trying to help (a bit higher! you've gone flat again! think where you need to be and aim for a note higher!).

I so enjoy singing old hymns.

But could not inflict it on anyone outside of the family.

I would give you loads of encouragement though.

A charity that uses music to reach children with learning difficulties could be considered perhaps?

Great that it's being considered!

Could we all do it together if Tech set up a dedicated phone line?
Once the song is decided, the lyrics could be on line, with the tune playing so we stayed on the same beat, and bouncy dots going over the words so we sung in sync.
A date and time could be set, we could all phone the number, with an online countdown to start us off.
We could have a rehearsal a few days in advance to iron out any wrinkles.

Bear in mind the above suggestions are from a person that hasn't even got a camera on her mobile phone, much less anything with an 'i' in it.

What do more techy GNetters think?

jingle if anyone would prefer not to sing, an accompaniment of humming would be lovely!

I was gonna just say "hmm" to that. But that would have looked like a pun!

Being tone deaf think gransnetters might be very relieved if I don't try to sing. Family usually suggest that I "moan" elsewhere when I think I am sweetly singing.

Bump

Bump bump

(till Josi tells us what she thinks of it.

I used to sing in a choir ....many,many years ago, so I'll have a go. Loved the flashmob video, it brought back memories of singing The Hallelujah Chorus when I was but a teenager at school.

If you were in a choir lucid, can you recommend any easyish songs we could choose from?

Oi! JOSE - Geraldine reckons you're up for this. Come and tell us what you really think.

WE won't tell her.
