Attitude - a la Whoopee G......what a breather.....!

Whilst living at Kiri's in Leatherhead some years ago, her daughter Toni (Antonia ) rushed in and burst out " Anna - Anna! You MUST go and see 'Sister Act', it's absolutely You ! " Hmmmm - wonder what Toni means ...? When I took her advice and went to see the film I understood exactly.... The story involves a gangster's girlfriend, played by the celebrated Whoopee Goldberg, who witnesses a murder, and the police decide to protect her by hiding her in a convent. Why not ? Where else would you hide a black lady other than in a convent full of white nuns ...? From this you'll gather, if you haven't seen the film, that it is full of high jinks, hysterical situations and some deliciously funny scenes - forbidden 'ice cream orgy', etc.. The part that Toni equated with me is where Whoopee decides to chivvy up the convent choir which is a little lack lustre to say the least, by explaining 'attitude', or 'projection' as it's usually termed in the business. One of my methods is to suggest that a taxi cannot be summoned by whispering 'taxi' in a hushed tone - "TAAAAXI" at full vocal throttle is much more effective - unless you have a tremendous whistle like Anna (Larsson) which can be heard for miles - one of her less known attributes.....This all came to mind when 'Sister Act' was shown on t.v. the other evening.....that's it for today folks, I have to go for my daily stroll and a breath of fresh air up here in the Chiltern Hills - pop over some time and join me.......mmmm, k..p b.......g....
