Elvis?
Elvis is still in the building (and seems to have forgotten the words to ‘His Latest Flame’)

Here is my version of ‘I Was Born Under a Wandrin Star’ originally recorded by the late Lee Marvin from the movie ‘Paint Your Wagon’. My recording was made without recourse to cigarettes or whisky, but please don’t try this at home.

 

My interpretation of Alice’s Restaurant, a monologue from 1967 by Arlo Guthrie. I seem to remember there was a war going on at that time.

 

This is my effort at doing the voiceover for movie trailers. It is a tribute to the great Redd Pepper who is the voice behind countless movie trailers. A recent documentary about him went viral with over 2 million hits in a matter of days. His voice is insured for £10 million and he makes £3000 to £4000 for each movie trailer. My voice is self-insured and I can sometimes get 50 hits.

This is my attempt, with the words from memory going back to 1959, of Shelley Berman who died in September 2017. No music this time; Berman was what they called a sit-down comedian who sat on a stool to do his sketches.
