True – there was no cajoling DJ and it was only a residential living room, but once Amazon’s Alexa was asked to ditch the seasonal songs and ramp up the 70’s disco music, every single lady pilot at last night’s TT Christmas social demonstrated that their skill set extended far beyond being the front rider on bicycles built for two.
And why restrict the fun? Seeing our equally talented fairer sex stokers move to the music, thankfully under guidance, was the icing on last night’s TT’s social Christmas cake.
Reputations will never be the same…. (except for Judith’s!)
And the night of new talent discovery didn’t stop at the disco scene. Supplementing the traditional pilot vs stoker quiz (it was a tie), Ukulele singing (fronted by Sean, Martin and Jules) and solos from Steve D (the Queen’s better half) came a poetry rendition from Hajra and a festive singalong led by Lou on her portable piano.
But the award for cementing the evening’s tremendous talent must go to Jules. Seated at Lou’s piano, this blind lady was able to pick up the songs piping through the speakers and accompany them on a keyboard she couldn’t see.
Now that was a sight to behold.
Merry Christmas everyone!
