Opera in the Gym?

    Are you listening to the right music in the gym to get the best results?   No, tests show, if you're not listening to Mozart, Tchaikowsky, Wagner, et al.   We know what uber-fit Royal Marines Commando Stacks had to say.   Now wondering what the gym boffins think? #gym #workout #gymhacks #fitness #results #trainhard #training #PT #music

In it for the Game: Niche Social Media Marketing

'In it for the Game not the Money,' says genius entrepreneur Gary Vee.   We try.   I try.   I do.   But how to translate his use of social media for his conglomeracy into my little corner of clown niche? The Bottom Line?   I see posting on here, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, Quora, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc, as the modern equivalent of - FOR FREE - putting up posters for my shows.  As I did back in the day around Aldeburgh. In the doctors surgery. In the pub and the charity shop.   The church porch only if my show's material was swear-free.   And why wouldn't you, says Gary Vee.   Whose game I play.   I do.   I try.   Just that - the video kvetch - there's always someone with that bigger game.   Not a surprise in my case, given that clown niche, my age, that I don't sing anything composed later than 1937 or dance anything post-Nutcracker.   But still, let's put the trainers on - £12.99 - and get out and play.     #socialmediamarketing #mo

What was Number One When...

...I was born: Freddie and the Dreamers "I'm Telling You Now".   What was number one on my fourteenth birthday, which, apparently defines my life?  Art Garfunkel: "Bright Eyes".   It's one of only two 45s I ever bought.  Along with "Angelo", by Brotherhood of Man.   I asked my mother if she had owned "I'm Telling You Now" and explained why I was asking.   She said, 'Oh, God, this what was number one when I was born is going to be another of those send away in instalment things, isn't it?  Like for Princess Di plates, the Waltons action figures and tins of lychees.  Or are you you going to insist you can remember hearing that record from in the womb, like you swear blind you watched The Woodentops through your umbilical cord like a placenta periscope?' # whatwasnumberonewheniwasborn  #whatwasnumberoneonmyfourteenthbirthday
