My Speech, After My Award-Winning Solo at Saturday's Irish Concert
First, I'd like to thank The Big Man for blessing me with such a beautiful voice and the vanity that compells me to share it with the world.
I'd like to thank the chorale Director for giving me this solo, despite the fact that I didn't audition for it because it's right at my break and, therefore, shredded my chest voice.
I'd also like to thank K for assuring me that, although anyone can sing a "pretty" solo, it takes a special kind of personality to sing a "peasant-y" solo, with a slight Irish brogue.
Thank you, also, to my parents, for instilling in me, at an early age, a love of all kinds of music. And for supporting me by coming to see the concert (unlike any of my other family and friends, who all suck... except you, Snippy Bitch, you're the only one who loves me).
And I'd like to thank my dad, especially, for passing along the DNA that made possible a nervous flop-sweat so purile that I had to borrow some Old Spice deodorant from a male friend.
And lastly, thank you, A, for the deodorant. I'm sure all the other second sopranos are grateful, as well.
Thank you, and good night.

Whew ... good save! My Bitch was starting to get Snippy when I read "...my other family and friends, who all suck... except...".
Because some lusty Irish-folk were makin' a rukus behind your parents, they came and moved to my row at intermission. Your Dad alerted me to the fact the Flea Market season started on Sunday. Time to search out nasty nekked Barbies, Wenchie!
Sur'n yee had a Wunderful solo me lassie. (No not the dog!) Thankfully I didn't catch a wiff of the flop-sweat ... I was too high. Sitting in the balcony! geesh!

Hey, I wanted to come, but I would have had to drag the family along. And nobody would have wanted that to happen.
