Remember last week when I
mentioned the guy who lives in my building who asked me how to get into barbershop singing? Sure you do! I cannot imagine that anybody would forget such a fascinating piece of information. Which means that you'll also remember I said that this guy did not reply to my invitation for him to come to a chorus rehearsal.
Well, a couple of days after I wrote that entry I did get a scribbled note shoved under the door to my flat, written by this guy and informing me that he would indeed love to come to a rehearsal. So this week I took him.
To say that he was enthusiastic is an understatement. In the car on the way back home he was telling me how he was going to go into his place of work tomorrow and ask that he have every Wednesday off from now on so that he could rehearse with us. He also said that he'd probably have trouble getting to sleep tonight after such an exciting evening.
I, however, have no trouble at all getting to sleep after a chorus rehearsal, and sleep is where I'll be getting to very shortly. Just after I've mentioned that Phil the Laurel-alike had a very nice result on today's Deal or No Deal, winning himself £16,750.
