Singing jazz with Lucas and Walliams?!

Had another bizarro dream this morning before the alarm went off.

Was in some kind of school hall where a show of sorts was being organised I think. It's going fuzzy now but I remember that the Henson twins spotted me and came to say hello, which is funny cos I haven't seen either of them for 19 years!! So there I was, with people milling around in the hall humming and singing to themselves, and I thought Hey, I can sing, maybe it's time to overcome my stage fright and volunteer for a spot. The obvious one to me was Cole Porter's wonderful "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye", which I learned to sing way back when I was having singing lessons - just before Simply Red covered it. I still know the words and still love singing it.

As I was thinking about it, who should come in but David Walliams and Matt Lucas. And you'll like this: the reason Matt Lucas was there was because he was at school with me. In drag, as it was a girls school.. suited him though. I was miffed with David Walliams for "stealing" Matt Lucas away from us during the sixth form.

It worked out all right in the end because Matt Lucas ended up backing me on the drums..

I should've written it all down as soon as I woke up as I know I've already lost some of it. Even as I was dreaming I was thinking how surreal it was! But then on the news when I got up there was a piece about "rock choirs" and I thought, maybe something is trying to tell me to take up singing again? Maybe it's time to push my ridiculous shyness to one side and mooch down to the village hall on Tuesday and see what our ladies choir is up to. I sang in choirs for many many years at school and university, and I do miss it.
