As you know we very much enjoy the odd odyssey, especially of the Greek variety (fingers crossed for June 2022)……….
…… so when Nigel spotted this banner on the long, boring walk home from the school run, it was obvious that he’d do a double take on seeing said word, admittedly not a Greek Odyssey, but a European one was none the less intriguing.
However, it turned out not to be a travelogue as Nigel first thought, but a piano concert, something our beloved follower and cereal serial commenter Mr D in romantic Mexico would very much appreciate, an odyssey taking in the delights of D’Anglebert, Scarlatti, Bach, Albeniz, Beethoven, Chopin, not to mention Schubert.
Not quite us perhaps, but as Nigel started to read the accompanying bumf, his was a little surprised to read that Mr Soares has been praised for his “brilliantly unbuttoned” performances? How very rude!
Performing unbuttoned, brilliantly or not, seemed a trifle remiss, if not slightly draughty ………. or perhaps, the little fella reasoned, the unbuttoning was more the result of the “huge intensity” of his playing upon Mr Soares fastenings, rather than simply for comfort or an airing!
It all sounded very “liberating” to Nigel, perhaps, he mused when he got back to The Towers …….
…….. we ought to broaden our musical horizons a little wider than our televisual highlight of the year the Eurovision Song Contest, The Masked Singer, Little Mix and Rod Stewart ………. if only to see what affect it would have on our own, at present, very secure buttonage? Mr D?

In the olden days, before zips, they had fly buttons, too. And then, it would be even ruder!
Mae West, allegedly, made fly buttons hit the ceiling!
I am certainly partial to a concert of classical music, and a late Beethoven or Schubert piano sonata would be just the ticket.
Let it all hang loose that's what I say. No need for buttons done or undone. JantheFan x
