Happy New Year 2005 Flute Players One and All

Irish Flute

I don’t usually sing in public, but for this special occasion I will make an exception.

I shan’t forget the day that I was born,
Twas on a cold and frosty winter’s morn.
The doctor said I was a chubby chap,
And then the nursey took me on her lap.
Oh, she washed me all over, I remember,
And powdered me all over tenderly,
Then she placed me in the cradle by the fireplace,
In the little shirt my mother made for me.

Last summer while I was on my holidays,
Across the brimey ocean I did gaze.
The sea it looked so nice I thought I’d go
And have a dip, but in a minute, Oh!
All the girls on the beach at me were staring,
And some were taking snapshots, I could see.
It’s a good thing for me that I was wearing,
The little shirt my mother made for me.

Happy New Year, and may the New Year bring you happiness, peace, prosperity, and the continuing joy of music. Maybe you have a favorite tune that you would like to sing, as well.

Hi Duggy Wuggy! I did enough singing 16 hours ago at midnight New Year’s Eve to last me some days. I prefer to swim in my birthday suit. Nobody notices me at all because I look just like seaweed :astonished:

Wishing All a LAVERly New Year! :smiley:

Talasiga, “Duggy Wuggy” doesn’t seem to be exactly right for my persona. My todler friends call me “Dougo”, in case you are interested.
Actually, I prefer to be referred to by my name, but I do make exceptions for children.

:laughing:
I’ll give you that one Mr Tipple! That be your little victory for the New Year. Though I be a grey haired child I will now call you Doug. :slight_smile:

Happy New Year, Doug!

You, too, Tal, although I’m going to have that mental image stuck in my mind for who-knows-how-long.

How is that you had New Years 16 hours ago? I’m confused by this. I thought it started in Greenwich. When did this change?

Seaweed is a beautiful thing but you would probably need to be a marine biologist (like my wife) to appreciate this! :smiley:

Peggioh the Year begins at the International Date Line through the Western Pacific just east of where I was born - Fiji Islands. East Australia is circa two hours after that.

I had a great new year celebration with my band and friends. But alas, when we returned to my car we found someone had smashed one of the windows and ransacked it! Like everything was upside down. To add insult to injury they took NOTHING!

Should I be happy or sad about this?
:confused: :sunglasses:

I quite like the odd tipple myself at this time of year, whatever it is called !

I have to admit, Talasegia, that I am a little weedy myself.I only expose myself in the bath, and even that is a shocking thing !
You are lucky that no Scottish or Welsh made flutes were dumped in your car after your break-in, saving a trip to the dump !
