Trying out my "Marmite" guitar and new Port box amp, with a song I wrote donkey's years ago.
For our American cousins, Streatham is a district in South London and the Odeon is a British chain of cinemas created by Oscar Deutsch in 1928 ("Oscar Deutsch Entertains Our Nation").

I do feel very silly performing in front of a camera, I don't know how some of you manage to pull it off in such a stylish nonchalant fashion. I doff my cap to you ladies and gentlemen.

Oh, and someone nicked my kazoo!

I never really thought of it as scat, but I suppose you're quite right Ice Bob. I'm no Satchmo.

An invisible kazoo!   That put a smile on my face. 

 

Liked the story song, liked the invisible kazoo, liked the vocals, playing, and the Marmite fine tone.

Very nice! Makes me smile. Took me a minute to figure out that someone took your kazoo, over here if something gets nicked, you try to buff it out:))
