I've decided on my costume for our New Year's Eve Fancy Dress Party!Initially I had thought of going as Prankman Cheng, but it would have been too complicated for Nexi to sew at such short notice. Who could I be? I was getting my neck in a bit of a twist about it, so I started singing to cheer myself up. As I began one of my favourite songs, 'Sharp Dressed Man', there I had it! I'll be 'Sharp Dressed Neckmann' - in true ZZ Top attire!
Nexi threw up her hands in mock despair when I told her, and said I'd be better calling myself 'Zzzz Up Top'. However, she promised to get my costume together - just a beard, hat and dark glasses really. I'm borrowing one of Neko's guitars, (as long as I promise not to play it ...)
How on earth am I going to eat my sprouts and New Year Pudding with this on?
I've been watching a film of the song, so I get all the actions right. I love the bit where they both kind of bend their knees in synchronisation.This is going to be fantastic - I so love this track! Hey, everybody ... does Raph rock?!!

ZZ Top fan? Thanks for dropping by Pappy's Balderdash. Glad you liked it. Come by anytime. Pappy
That is a coincidence, Kat! I've liked listening to Piaf as long as I can remember, and discovered Jeeves and Wooster more recently.
Have a wonderful New Year!
Thanks Pappy, I will! Have a great New Year.
Hi Raph,
This is not really my kind of music - but it certainly has a beat.
Be thankful that you will be able to take off your beard at the end of the party!!
Hi Derrick - I'll have to find something more classical for my next music posting - a little Raphmaninoff perhaps?
(I'm going to make some of your Sprout Soup for the party so I can drink it through a straw!)
Snazzy, Raph!
Happy New Year! :D
Thank you Willow - I like snazzy!
Happy New Year to you too!
That sprout soup is an absolute winner all round!
Have a great evening...
Thank you SW, we did! Happy New Year!
