Moanin’ Round Midweek (A Play In One Act)
11 OctThe record-buying public: Come on guys, why does it always take so long?
The designer (enters stage left): It’s not my fault, but there’s always so many additions and changes…
A writer (appears from right): Like the last one you didn’t notice!
The designer: I thought it was a mistake on your part, so I took a picture of Howlin’ Wolf to accompany your text about, err… Howlin’ Wolf.
The writer: Wrong, wrong! I wanted a picture of Sonny Boy Williamson!
The record-buying public (confused): Which one?
A producer (from the wings): Idiots!
The designer: But I didn’t have a picture of Sonny Boy Williamson.
The writer: I sent you one!
The designer: No, you didn’t!
The writer: Yes, I did.
The designer: No, you didn’t!
The writer: Of course I did. It was labelled “Junior Parker Pic#3”.
The producer (from the wings): They’re all idiots…
The designer (leaves, head in hands)
The record buying public: Wait, we have more questions…!!

Watch this space.
