As you do, we were discussing last night the possibility of forming a kind of skiffle band using medical add-ons to a failing body as musical instruments.
So a percussionist could be playing the false teeth.
A piper could be playing the colostomy bagpipes.
Hearing aids could be used as amplifiers.
A tracheostomy tube could be used as a kind of vocoder.
An amplified (via hearing aid) pacemaker would provide the backing rhythm.
Hooked hands could scratch records.
Any other ideas on this quiet Friday?

Istvanski - Has he got a surgical arse?
Murph - The truss gives a good twang.
Pacemaker = metronome or drum machine with hearing aid amplifier.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I attempted to say!
ReplyDeleteSorry Geoff - you did and I was in too much of a hurry!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit squeamish about medical thingies - so all I can suggest now are some NHS earplugs.
Just shows you, Kaz, great minds think alike.
ReplyDeleteI think the earplugs would be handy or we'll all end up like Pete Townsend.
