Tanks for the memory Home page here
The first version was somewhat cramped and needed bunting to make it into a better presentation.
The same tank eight weeks later. The loft is full of disability items no longer used. A pavement scooter has been recycled.
In stock:
- The tank
- A Steam train. It was converted from the horse used for the cowboy songs. Needless to say, the horse turned up as a reindeer at you-know-when.
- A boat which started use as Noah's Ark. It later became a Red Indian canoe. May be used later for songs such as "Messing about on the river".
- A Destroyer - for the Navy songs. It or No.3 might become a pirate galleon. Yo-Ho-Ho and a bottle of fun.
They all took some twenty hours each to make. If there's a conversion to be done, it could take that long again.
The reasons so much time is taken include:
- My wife is the priority and it's not often there's anyone else around. Pop in every quarter of an hour. She has a buzz-push and I have the buzzer.
- In one's mid-seventies, lifting these items when finished isn't always easy.
- Then there's finding things. Put a screwdriver down for five minutes and it has walked off.
- Add time running around B&Q etc fighting the musak and finding lost shopping lists. Respite time used.
Putting the play-lists together would take double the time without Spotify. We have a family music website but it's based on youtube. That would not be practical within the music sessions. {More here.]
Spotify runs best on Imac and Ipad, the latter being used at the music sessions with a small amplifier.
