Warrigal Sings For His Supper
Yes, I have to admit, I sing in the shower. I always have done, and what’s more the shower repertoire has stayed much the same for many years, though different songs do seem to “star” at different times.
It’s my father’s fault. He always sang in the shower, usually hymns he learned under duress from his lay preacher father though he had a fondness for “Remember The Red River Valley” and always threatened to turn “Abide With Me” into a cha cha. I have included “I Dream Of Genie” as a tribute to him; though the lyrics he sang were entirely of a different colour scheme, predominantly blue.
So here they are, some of the usual suspects from showertime. Get yourself a towel and some soap and knock yourself out.

Just before I go through these–and I’ve spotted a couple of goodies–may I just ask if your shower has a mirror and was the inspiration for your Val Doonican song WM?
It just seems such an odd choice for a soap-up. Or are you trying to win a few hearts from the lost & the lonely; the lusty single maidens of the Ladies Lounge???

Yes, I wondered about that too Jules.
A bit of a peacock is our Warrigal, methinks.

Now you singing, Warrigal. Don’t tell me this is Dolly in the Box’ choice.
I’ll be starting with Nessun Dorma, then Autumn Leaves, Slow boat to China…Diana Krall, even the crooners, Sinatra and Dean Martin are appreciated, and of course The Beatles, anything by them…
It’s still hot, so it will be thin designer pizzas from Harris Markets for supper…whilst they are being cooked , I’ll listen to the rest….
