Hi All,
OK.....what have Noel Coward, Insomnia and Stiffness got to do with each other? Well.....you may ask!

Firstly it is 3.20 am here in the UK and I cannot sleep. I decided to get up and after sitting here for an hour have written a little ditty.

Secondly I have always been a huge fan of Noel Coward. His wit and excellent musical ability are second to none in my opinion. I thought I would try to write something in the 'style of' the great man and this is my effort.

Thirdly the song is called 'Stiff Upper Lip' ....something it is said all Englishmen should have!

I should say that ALL double entendre are absolutely intentional Though I feel I ought to apologise at least for rhyming American with undone (Americun ) and possibly for having fun with the way my American cousins speak (third verse )

Also I am not sure how the levels are on this as my partner and the dog are both (infuriatingly) fast asleep so I had to do this quietly!
Hope you enjoy it! http://website.lineone.net/~the-ant/Stiff.mp3

Best to all
Tony W

Outstanding, Tony! However, in the Southern U.S. it's not tomaato, or tomoughto, it's t'maters.

Hi Don & Donny,
Glad you liked it It was just a bit of fun really.

Don I dread to think what I would have rhymed with t'maters (Well maybe alligaters?)

Donny I suffer from dreadful insomnia...always have done so more often than not I do stay awake, would that I could write a ditty every night! I would have thousands by now!

Very best to you both and thanks for listening.
Tony W

Hi all,

Has anyone had any problem downloading this (or any other) of my songs?

Since posting this I have had a couple of reports via email that my songs would not download. I am at a loss as everything seems to be working perfectly from my end and also from my partners pc.

One of the reports came from a Mac user (not sure about the other) and not being experienced in Mac's does this make a difference to downloading music from a website.....ie do I need to provide some kind of plug-in so that Mac users can download?

Any help or reports of further problems much appreciated!
Thanks
Tony
