    I’m in awe of how you mastered the stutter. Incredible. Must have been very difficult. You are THE very best Wodehouse reader. Ignore those nitpickers over the songs. They are so blinkered as to miss the whole point.

    Admittedly, I have always considered myself more of a Saki fan as opposed to Wodehouse for some reason, but you've singlehandedly changed my views. My only issue now is that I believe you've ruined me from any other format to enjoy his work, including reading it myself - I honestly can't see any way to truly appreciate his writings without your reading of them. Thank you, I guess...
    Cheers

    Nick, I'm a massive fan of your readings, and feel you're the best on the net for J and W. I enjoy some of your work nearly daily. But this one didn't make it for me, because maybe you didn't realise that the songs that George sings are actual songs, well known in their time, with very distinctive melodies. My grandfather sang them to the cows when milking, and my mother still sung them when i was growing up. They were popular radio numbers. You wouldn't consider re-recording this with the authentic tunes, would you? I bet they'll be on the net, and the names are easily guessed from the key lines.

    • @cruisepaige
      @cruisepaige 9 місяців тому +5

      @@rebeccabedford9855I knew all of those songs. It’s so funny how you assume you know so much more than anyone else. 😂😂😂 And no, playing the actual songs instead of having George sing them, would NOT have been better. The point is that HIM singing them made him able to speak without stammering. When you have your own channel you can do it your way. Until them STFU and just say thank you.

    • @Hobgoblin4447
      @Hobgoblin4447 9 місяців тому

      I have read this story to my gifted students over many years, and I’m old enough to know all the songs except for the one about “I Have a Nice Thermos-“ Can anyone identify that one for me?

    • @heatherheron-speirs8727
      @heatherheron-speirs8727 9 місяців тому

      Hobgoblin, is it "the Thermos song" on UA-cam?

  • @heatherheron-speirs8727
    @heatherheron-speirs8727 8 місяців тому +1

    UA-cam has lots of versions of "Tea for two" including by folk like Frank Sinatra and Doris Day. But my fave is Ella Fitzgerald. Fun!

    I live Wodehouse - it would have been good if the narrator had learned the popular Melodie’s of the songs he sang to the wrong tunes

    • @Trickynickymarts
      @Trickynickymarts  9 місяців тому +9

      Agree but unfortunately quite impossible as this narrator is totally tone deaf. Luckily the specialist also had a sensitive ear and shut him up pronto!
