ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Terry and Dave in full swing at the Cervantes Arts Festival.
Unfortunately, we were slotted in between the kids doing dance routines - ever tried to recite poetry while dozens of littlies in tap shoes walked around in front of you???
Ah well, good way to get used to distractions!!! No wonder Terry doesn't recite much - we give him the real hard sessions!!!

Thanks for the pictures Irene.

I've had a go under those sort of conditions. NEVER AGAIN !!

All I can say is that the parents of the kids need to be taught a lesson in manners - how bloody rude

Been there done that i ask now who is on before or after me cause thay are just as bad when they finish packing gear to go home.


Can not be Dave NO LEGS ?

Yep, we were pretty disgusted with the lack of 'professional etiquette'!!
I know they were only children, but I often wonder why parents in general seem to lack the ability to tell their children to sit quietly.
They like everyone to be quiet while their children are performing, but seem to have no compunction about letting their children run wild while others are!!!
Ah well, it is all good learning curves - and teaches one to ignore what is happening around you!! Just felt sorry for those who were trying to listen - and there were quite a few of them!!
