You and Barnaby are freaking cute! I love the Christmas tree pic

Ah, thanks Losty. It's all down to Barnaby, without him I'm just a sarcastic, bearded git. At least now I'm a sarcastic, bearded git with a cute dog.

This isn't a photo, but I thought it would fit in here anyway

This is my first attempt at recording myself playing the organ. I hit quite a few bum notes but I kept it as my doggy started barking soon after I started! She has a big gob.

It's The Entertainer by the legendary Scott Joplin. It's my own simplified version as I don't have the skill or the span to play the full one. Enjoy!

OK well, that was fun! So I recorded another.

This time it's an original piece, an unnamed rag. The only music I've ever written that isn't utter shit. I just realized that's not strictly true, but near enough I may have some more tricks in the bag for later.

Lovely playing and you have such a nice voice and face.

Thanks so much Jenny! No one's said that to me before

And thanks Whateverist, you're very kind

I'll definitely record some more soon. I'll do the maple leaf rag next. I cheat a tiny bit with it, it's originally in E flat but that's too hard so I taught myself in C. Then I use the organ to transpose 3 semitones up, to make it sound authentic. Would still sound better on a piano, but I don't have one. I play them whenever I find one and can get away with it People have to put up with it in C on piano. Also, the organ has less octaves so those who know the piece may spot one note which I have to jimmy up.

I can just hear my wife reading that last paragraph and asking who gives a fuck about all that crap! Sorry babes I get to say loads of stuff here which would normally get me cut short and put in a cupboard or something.

Thanks for posting pictures of your dogs everyone, they are all amazingly cute! I love dogs so much. I love all animals, but dogs have a special place in my heart. I'll have to get a picture up of my "hairy daughter" soon

I think barnaby is an awesome name for that dog!

OK so I thought it would help everyone understand me better if you knew what my childhood was like. This was a typical day:

Well it was something like that. And here is me playing the Maple Leaf Rag, and as a bonus I provide a proof of God at the end. New evidence has emerged that may throw the whole debate on its head. Enjoy

Here are two of my hairy children! The black one is my son Magic, and the grey one is my daughter Jasmine.

Where's your grass? Is that what England looks like?!?

Cute bunnies!

Lol thanks!

There used to be tons of grass. They systematically destroyed the fuck out of it!

That was lovely and very charming (both videos)

Remind me to come visit you someday. Chilling in your living area and listening to you play sounds like a wonderful time to me, handsome
