Look, I went out and bought this Philips mic from argos.
Turns out the only way I could make a sound was to cup
my lips over the big end, and blow as hard as I could.

I'd like to sing but I don't want to do all that suck
and blowing.

If you'd have popped over to ABC Music in Surbiton road a couple of decades ago we could have gone out to the store room specially for you and got a mic packed and taped up - in a Jupiter 8 keyboard box!

Well, that's what we did to one guy who would come into the shop every Saturday afternoon after spending lots of time in the pub then on his way to a club to sing.
