Party pieces

My Dad always used to give us his rendition of Albert and the Lion. (Complete with accent, we're southerners!).

I can still recite it to this day.

My great uncle used to do this as well, then my brother took it over. I got a copy of it for my son, I'm hoping he or his son will take it on. It reminds me of such happy family times.

I don't suppose today's youngsters would do such a thing. Sad really.

My two sisters and I were asked to sing. We usually sang as a trio but sometimes individually. It was alright in front of family, but singing in church was a different matter, that was scary.
I can recite the monologue of The Story of Noah, but nowhere near as good as Stanley Holloway. 🤣

Mine was always reciting poetry - or monologues (usually from Shakespeare).

I had to play my latest piano piece.
I think my family knew better than to ask me to sing.

I used to have to sing at parties, even though I was terrified.
My party piece was The Bells of St.Mary's. There was a film starring Bing Crosby at the time.
