How to cope with churchbells

This is kinda funny story.

I live in this little town and every Wednesday night, the churchbells go mad for like an hour. And I really mean mad! It's a bloody cacophony. Enough to make anyone crazy. I mean, it is nothing even resembling a melody or a song that you sometimes hear playing with churchbells. It's completely random noise emanating over the countryside. It would be the equivalent of me deciding to go down the streets every thursday night banging pots and pans with a PA.

Anyways, I was pretty upset about it tonight and I didn't have any earplugs, so I stuffed my ears with cotton balls and wrapped a pair of tights around my head to block out the noiseand decided to play the electric guitar. I can hardly play the thing and I don't have much of a voice, and forget playing and singing at the same time, so this was a real triumph..

At least I survived the bells and lived to tell about it. This video marks a rite of passage.

Peace.

O hyeah, the painting is sorta fun too. My friend E.J. did it and it seemed like a spunky backdrop.

Yep, church bells are noise,

check out "IG Stiller" on google. It's a registerd association in Switzerland which fights against the noise of church bells!

I posted something like this this morning...I seem to have trouble getting my comments posted sometimes...what I said was ' well, keep playing and praying, and singing and making up songs and you'll get better and better...but this is already great !
