Christmas with the Underhills

[Eric The Viking]

I know Roy can be Marmite* sometimes, but yesterday I spent a happy half hour at the PC laughing out loud. He's done a 'birthday' video (read 'Christmas', I think), that's on the PBS server.

It's a woodworking musical, made all the better by the fact that the country trio is his daughter's.

I know it's corny, but it cheered me considerably on a day of PC disasters (happily the hard discs aren't dead after all...).

Enjoy!

*that should get any visitng Yanks confused!

Eric, thanks for this, I've been browsing this forum for a bit and had lots of useful links, but this is by far the most useful. I'm teaching my 6 year old daughter the fiddle and piano, if she grows up to sing country songs about wooden planes my life will be complete.

Glad to be of service.

Apparently R.U. has also written a woodworking novel, which Chris Schwartz's "Lost Art Press" has published. Silly, but then so was Douglas Adams.

High on my Birthday list...

A spoonful of silly helps the evening news go down , the news to go down , the news to go down. (sung to the Mary Poppins song).
Wouldn't want things going all Clockwork orange now would we?

I liked it too. Cheesy but in a good way.
And after some heavy and detailed Christmas present hinting, I'm pleased to report that I have a copy of Roy's novel and can thoroughly recommend it. Lots of clever plotting, a garnish of woodworking and some excellent jokes!

Couldn't agree more

Not sure he'd get away with walking on a public sidewalk with an open faced axe in hand nowadays though..
