Gerbie watches YouTube (24)

Sunday morning. I switch on the television, the Tour de France will start soon. A music program. I have seen it before. Mostly jazz or something else obscure. But I had never seen something like this before. This man, who looks like an ordinary office clerk, is singing. At least, later in the interview he, Phil Minton (here solo) is his name, calls it singing. I am fascinated. I can't say this will be my new music hero. I am quite sure, Minton will never reach a huge audience, but I like the fact that he exists. He and his band Speeq.

And luckily somebody had put it on YouTube. The song is called Trine. If you are going to watch, please do watch the whole fragment. Switching off after twelve seconds is not done.
