Day 94, Saturday April 4, midnight: We have two new members! Well, one, to be honest. Chris is bona fide, Siobhan is mere coincidence.
Chris The Tooth, Lindfield Primary parent and useful golfer, says he’s been reading the blog since the start, but has chosen to keep his quest(s) quiet, in the hope of avoiding too much scrutiny. Chris is a dentist. His resolutions are 1) to finish his MSc (in some subject loosely related to teeth, I fancy) and 2) to learn the guitar part to “Under The Bridge” by The Chili Peppers.
Apparently, the two are closely intertwined. As close, in fact, as his guitar is to his home computer. Every time he gets ready to sit down to work, Chris finds himself drawn to strumming instead.
As he puts it… “I figure that by the end of the year you will either have to add some extra letters after my name if you wish to address me or you will be regaled by a haunting rendition of a drug abuse song. I feel the way things are going it will be one or the other but definitely not both.”
Siobhan The Songster, meanwhile, Lindfield Primary nanny and would-be rock chick, began the year by joining a band after taking singing lessons. The bank is called “Keef”. She’s been told it’s thus named because of Rolling Stone Keith Richard. I looked the word up on the internet and found it is related to the preparation of cannabis. Keith Richard - and rock chick - my hat.
Anyway, Siobhan is making her public debut as a backing vocalist this weekend, I believe. After years of singing to her admiring Dad at Christmas, she faces a wider public. I believe Shrinking Sarah is also one of the singers.
I told Siobhan that if Keef were ever in need of a keyboard player… Perhaps she did not get my text. I have not yet received a reply. Despite staying up late in anticipation.
