If someone has already posted this, my apologies.
I loved this, and the project behind it.

Go go go all you grands and great grands!

Look also for the Zimmers backstage at Graham Norton

Lindy

They look like they are having a lot of fun...and breaking through some culture barriers. They don't make good guitar smashers though - probably because they understand the value of a dollar.

Good for them and thanks lindy.

This is part of a BBC awareness raising project to do with pensioners rights and prejudice etc. Single was released today and proceeds go to a charity called Age Concern which is the main fundraiser to help older people in the UK. It is a much underdiscussed issue here, with many very isolated old people, and poor resources. Fun idea, with a serious aim. The pensioners actually went to Abbey Road to record!

Lindy

What a wonderful idea.

Would it be really bad taste to suggest that we could do something similar to raise PD awareness and money for research.

The Zimmers are getting so much press in the UK as did the Womans Institute via their nude calender a couple of years ago.

We could be "The Neuro Singers" (sounds a bit soft)

or "The Parkies" (much more to the point)

and as most of us were born in the Baby Boom we have plenty of suitable material:

Hippy Hippy Shake
Shaking all over
Shake Rattle and Roll

Steff could mix the music, just the small matter then of getting together, recording, manufacture of CD's and distribution lol.

Does anyone know Graham Norton personally or maybe David Letterman (is that spelt correctly?).

Chris

THAT the men do the NUDE CALENDAR!!!!

We women will do the music.

Brilliant idea Chris....it`s everyone round at my place then is it?

Come on fellas. It``s all in a good cause...

Lindy that was brilliant.Thank you.
Steff

The idea is progressing nicely.

To optimise publicity (or maximise exposure!) we could sing in the nude .......

Two good ideas that both worked, combined.

Chris

Nice "play" on words Chris....but come on chum...you`re slipping.I would have put DEVELOPING instead of PROGRESSING LOLOLOL
Buck up !!!!

Any suggestions on what we might sing then if your Full frontal/Song for charity kicks off?

Theme from Flashdance?
Blow the wind southerly
Wherever I put..whoops ..I mean lay my hat...
Toxic
Dancing cheek to cheek

na na na na na na na

tut tut...Lindy...look what you`ve started !!!

I thought we were talking carefully placed pot plants and plates of buns and large guitars.

If the video isn't watchable no one will buy the CD - lol

Chris

Chris, I think a "good-looking" bunch of "parkies" like yourselves, strutting and strumming your stuff, will be very watchable indeed. Let's see what you got.

Well shake it up baby now, twist and shout......

Great Buns, Great Idea!

Okay, all you "naughties"...and I will be "dating" myself with this one! When Chris said"we could sing in the nude", I laughed aloud. My thoughts went immediately to another era...and Glenn Miller's ever-popular, "In the Mood". Most...if not all of you are probably asking: "Who the heck was Glenn Miller? Let's just say that I think that "In the Nude" would "fit" nicely to the beat of Miller's "In the Mood". Then, we could preface our new piece, "In the Nude" set to the tune of "In the Mood"...OR, if we want to take this one step further, we could name our tune...are you ready for this...IN THE MOOD FOR IN THE NUDE?...now, do you see what all you "naughties" have done to me???...I use to be such a nice person...but, that becomes boring...and this is fun!!!
