Work in progress
It’s about time to post the next FB Live gig, number 4 in the row.
Creativity at its finest
For the backdrop I use an Ikea black fitted sheet (I’ve cut off the elastic band), and it hangs on leftover metal tubes from the trampoline we had.
(And because the sheet is not wide enough, I add my black cape to the one side and a black cardigan on the other side. On top of my white desk in the left corner is a black t-shirt, and over the small table where the flowers are is a black skirt, functioning as a table cloth… Well, in my family I’m famous for my creativity, now you know why ???).
Waste not, want not
The trampoline was thrown out last year already, but apparently there were two metal tubes still in the garage, which came in very handy when we were thinking of how to put a backdrop behind me.
So, Maurice soldered these tubes together and hung them into some leftover Ikea curtain pole wall brackets (we’re true ‘waste not, want not’-experts).
Last year we bought a beautiful bouquet of artificial flowers for our office (Ikea, again 😀 ), and they fit in perfectly.
And for the finishing touch we still had a couple of colored led lights and a fixture from years ago when we still lived in Germany and made a mini theater in our basement.

Donations still very much appreciated
Of course my weekly hour of singing for you is free of charge. I love to sing and play and I love the interaction with you, the audience. You also see that there is much more to it than just grabbing a guitar, turn on the camera and start playing and singing.
So if you appreciate me entertaining you, and you would like to support our efforts to turn the quality of my Singalong Sunday’s up a notch, please be so kind to make a donation (only through PayPal) to: paypal.me/
