Date: 2008-01-11 07:11 pm (UTC)Absolutely. I'm not even sure what I was going to play. I tend to improvise. So, if there's anything you want to sing, tell me.

Date: 2008-01-11 07:15 pm (UTC)Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Noel Coward, Harold Arlen, Rodgers and Hart, Hoagy Carmichael—you get the idea. Any of the classics are things I probably already know. I also know quite a few old music-hall classics, but that rather pre-dates what most people consider "jazz".

Date: 2008-01-11 07:18 pm (UTC)Very good taste, I must say. I shall see what I can do.
By the way, I don't suppose anyone in this park is...dead, are they? As in actually, physically dead, not undead. You know, surrendered their mortal coil, all that. I hope not.

Date: 2008-01-11 07:19 pm (UTC)Marvellous. I look forward to it.
Dead? Not that I know of, no. Dare I ask why?
—Una
no subject
Date: 2008-01-11 07:21 pm (UTC)So do I. Not often I get the chance to play with people.
Good, good. Well...there could be issues involving corpses and dancing if anyone was and I played my saxaphone. Which is perfectly reasonable, if you're me, Igor or Nanny, and we'd be rather inclined to join in. I doubt a lot of other people would react the same way.

Date: 2008-01-11 07:23 pm (UTC)There's a young man named Tamaki who's quite a good piano player. If he hasn't contacted you, you may wish to write him.
I see. Well, I don't think that will be a problem.
—Una
She filed Duckula's explanation under Things About Which We Will Not Ask Any Further, Due To Risk of Migraine.

Date: 2008-01-11 07:26 pm (UTC)Oooh, thank you. I'll do that, and...where is there a piano, out of curiosity?
Good to know. Very good to know.
Duckula.

Date: 2008-01-11 07:47 pm (UTC)I believe it's in one of the theatres. Tamaki will be able to tell you for certain.

Date: 2008-01-11 07:28 pm (UTC)I'm a duck, not a guy. But anyway, a guitar is just cool. Can't argue with that. You can come along and improvise, it should be fun. I hope.
Count Duckula.

Date: 2008-01-11 07:36 pm (UTC)Here's hoping then. I haven't played out in public yet since
I diedI got my new arm, so here's hoping I don't fuck it up.-Katou
He'd been practicing whenever he got the chance though.

Date: 2008-01-11 07:43 pm (UTC)I'm sure you'll be fine. Everything seems to come together when I play in front of people, no matter how worried I am. Nobody ever complains.
possibly because they all have somewhere to be 'miraculously'Count Duckula.

I'm not worried. What made you think I was worried?

Date: 2008-01-11 08:59 pm (UTC)Nothing at all...I presumed. My apologies.

Date: 2008-01-11 08:02 pm (UTC)I am not sure of how much service I can be to you, but I am well versed in the hydrocrystalophone, the harpsichord, and the slightly-less popular clavichord.
I am not familiar with Jazz so I am doubtful that a glass harmonica will fit in with the particular sound, but should you need another person I will gladly join you.

Date: 2008-01-11 08:58 pm (UTC)Well, anybody is welcome and most appreciated, but do you actually have any of these instruments avaliable?
Count Duckula.
no subject
Date: 2008-01-11 09:20 pm (UTC)The hydrocrystalophone is nothing more than water on glass. It can easily be replicated by filling drinking glasses with different levels of water.
Sir Percy

Date: 2008-01-11 09:25 pm (UTC)Oh. Right. Well, if you've got the bottle, by all means, come along and make things more tuneful. Or at least wet, if nothing else.
Count Duckula.

Date: 2008-01-11 09:35 pm (UTC)I don't see your point, sir, but if you want my company I'll gladly appear.

Date: 2008-01-11 10:57 pm (UTC)I read from your notice that you're looking for people who can play instruments to join you in your Jazz Extravaganza. I am quite skilled at the piano, and even know some jazz, and I would like to lend you my services.
I also saw something about juggling! If you wish, I can help you with that, as well. I'll admit that I have never juggled before, but I have seen it done and I'm confident that with my gifts, I should be able to do it with next to no problem.
Sincerely Yours,
Tamaki Suoh

Date: 2008-01-11 11:00 pm (UTC)Ah, yes, Una mentioned you. I was going to send you a letter, but you beat me to it. Provided someone can help out getting the piano to the square, that would be wonderful. I would help, but I'm going to struggle in that department.
Well, yes, I am a rather talented juggler, but if you would like to join in, I can show you how, if you want.
Yours sincerely,
Count Duckula.
no subject
Date: 2008-01-12 01:17 pm (UTC)I will find a way to get the piano to the square! Don't worry!
Could you? I think it would be quite a lot of fun, and a gentleman should possess a variety of skills, don't you think?
Your Friend,
Tamaki
no subject
Date: 2008-01-12 01:20 pm (UTC)Very good. I've been told you're very talented.
Oh, absolutely, it's vitally important you know how to juggle.
Count Duckula.
