the shrieking fleshless skeleton of michelangelo di lodovico buonarroti simoni, kicking down my door with one putrid rotting boot: what the FUCK. what the FUCK. that fake fiorentino piece of SHIT couldn’t find a ceiling with BOTH HANDS if an earthquake DROPPED it on TOP OF HIS HEAD
small head’s up that next weekend’s TPoH update may be late, or may not! Hard to call it- I’ve been summoned to visit my family and its newest addition tomorrow, which is lovely but rather throws my schedule out of joint. I’ll be afk from Tuesday to Thursday, so hopefully I’ll manage it with the time left around the edges but what with packing and recovering before and after it’s anyone’s guess. I’ll let you know closer to the time, but yeah it may end up being Monday instead or something
My old piano teacher, Roger Shelmerdine, is a great guy and writes songs! He often organises events with choirs, and he very kindly asked if I would illustrate some selected sections of lyrics for a concert (which was held yesterday evening and went very well) for this year’s Remembrance Day and the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI. Apparently the kids from the primary school choir, who did a fantastic job, really liked these, so hopefully you will too!
The last one with the boy and the gun is a song based off a real story about a boy called Sidney who lied about his age and entered the army at the age of 12. I wanted the size of the gun and the hugeness of the hand to sort of describe how obvious it must have been and how eager the adults involved were to overlook it all. Part of the song goes like this-
“An officer am I, and recruitment is my aim,
I’m paid the sum of ‘two and six’ for ev'ry single name.
The more that sign the dotted line, the more that I can earn-
and so I turn a blind eye to every 'age’ concern.”
