That is indeed something to be very proud off. Well done.

My DH can play 'Tis the season to be jolly' on a recorder, does that count?

Dragonbutter · 07/11/2008 11:40

well he is gifted and talented then.
but what about you?

Eastenders theme tune. Key of C, all white notes. Have to 'beatbox' the dramatic drum roll yourself though.

hhahahahaha
I am very pleased to hear that other people try to play their childrens' favorite tv programme theme tune too

I do teletubbies and bob the builder (shouting "Can you fix it" in between)

Stinkyfeet · 07/11/2008 23:10

Oh, yes notes please Dragonbutter. Night Garden would sound just great on a saxophone - soooo relaxing, don't you think?

Dragonbutter · 07/11/2008 23:13

how long do you give it before DH comes downstairs asking wtf i'm doing?

I can play Silent night

And jingle bells

And a little of wooden heart.

Well it impresses my kids

Stinkyfeet · 07/11/2008 23:23

Excellent, but if you don't mind I won't get the saxophone out just now!! I'll wow the ds's in the morning I think!

mumhadenough · 07/11/2008 23:24

I can play "Oh Susanna". Learned it on a kids keyboard when i was about 12 and I can still play it now. I had numbers instead of keys though, so I couldn't tell you the notes.

Here's the number for you to try.

I really can't - the house is silent - everyone is in bed - the saxophone is LOUD! But you carry on, please!!
