ANOTHER MUSICAL 'NICE DAD' STORY...



This one involves my other son, who's ten months old. We went 'round my mate Mike's house today, for a sort of 'father & baby' afternoon. No bloody women - just men, baby boys, cups of tea, idle chit-chat and the occasional discreet fag in the back garden. Whilst fooling around on the toy-strewn living room carpet, me and the babe discovered one of those little toy keyboards with drum pads 'n shit. It had three different preset sounds: one was a church organ, another a sort of bell-like tone and the third was a synth sound that was exactly like the one that did the lead melody on Nitro Deluxe's '80's House track "Let's Get Brutal". With just a preset drum beat to accompany me, I simply had to perform an impromptu live rendition of this classic cut. Mike was diggin' it, but the babes were not so receptive - they wanted their fucking toy back now. I dunno...you try your best to give your kids a good education and they show absolutely no bloody gratitude!
