Singing in the snow

On my post yesterday, Mevely asked me to post a video with me singing.

Visit Mevely here.

To be honest, I only sing in the bathroom. It is a habit I picked up as a young boy because back then we were so poor that we did not have a lock on the bathroom door. So we sang to stop anyone coming in. I used to sit on the throne with my foot sticking out against the door to stop it from opening. Pity it opened outwards! Yes ... we were very poor back then. So poor we could not even afford a toilet brush. We tied a dead hedgehog to a stick and used that.

Anyway ... about my singing. A couple of years ago the priest asked me to join the choir in church and sing a carol at Christmas.  He said I sang like an angel. Here is the recording of me rehearsing. Enjoy !!!

    1. I will ... I will ... Christine. The neighbours like my voice so much they have broken all our windows to hear me better.

      God bless.

  4. I like your story about your singing. It's touched my heart with its openness. And then I listened to the last video and... I smiled. By the way, I am also not the best singer in the world. I sing mostly to my cat.

    1. Hello Kaya,

      When I sing my dog barks at me. All the cats, birds, insects and other animals in the area run away to another town!

      God bless you.

    2. Second verse same as the first.
      I can tell that you have been practicing...your neighbors and the animals that lived there have all moved here :)
      You have amazing talents Victor ...but singing isn't one of them.

      Blessings~

    3. No Jan, definitely not singing. That's why I was involved in this particular comedy sketch. But the troupe we had together had some real talent in singing and dancing. I remember an elderly married couple. They always came dressed in evening clothes; he in a "penguin" type suit, and she in a lovely evening dress. He played the piano and she sang opera.

      They were very popular.And it all helped charity I suppose.

      God bless you, Jan.

      God bless.

    1. The neighbours have called the police so that they may enjoy my singing.

      God bless you, Martha.

  7. Sorry to say that the singing portion of your post just didn't make the cut but your humourous writing is off the charts. You finished at the top of your group. Congratulations Victor on your achievement. :)

    1. So Bill, do you not advise me to go on the X Factor? Or on Britain Got Talent? Is my singing that bad?

      God bless you, my friend.

  8. Errr!!!
    May I politely suggest you keep your singing in the shower!!!


    I have to say my singing in the bathroom always sounds good to me … I can never understand why members of the family cover their ears when I start to sing! LOL!

    All the best Jan

    1. It's the acoustics. In the shower everything sounds better than in real life.

      God bless you, Jan.

    1. Well, the neighbours were not. You should have heard their bad language. I am not appreciated in my own time, I think. Some day in the future people will hear my recordings and regret not having enjoyed my singing. Our priest said I had the voice of an angel with laryngitis.

      God bless you, Chris.

    1. Really? The recording sounded nice to me.

      Maybe the microphone was faulty, or the sound recorder. Perhaps the speakers on your computer don't reproduce some notes properly. Listen to it again, Manny. Full volume this time.

      God bless.
