You could always use the technique used by British politician John Redwood:

To put the clip in context, this was a man who had responsibility for the country of Wales, but who didn't know the words to the Welsh National Anthem. So did he stand by in humble, dignified silence while all around him sang?

No.

He pretended.

And produced the worst piece of miming ever seen.

This clip is a perennial on British comedy clip shows.

What's on the turntable. Perhaps my favourite Christmas song.

Peace & Merry Christmas ! to one and all, as well, from MARTIAN outpost in Alabamy.

Plan to re-listen to Ray Bradbury's reading of his story "Bless Me, Father, for I Have Sinned" this evening, and to read his new story in The Strand.

An online performance reading of "Bless Me..." is available to listen from 12/01/2009, by TRINITY REP RADIO THEATER here: http://www.publicbroadcasting....e&ARTICLE_ID=1652728

Ironically, this site is a Christmas present from Linnl, also!

In reviewing the Tangent post (RB interview), I opened on the main page location. Here are some very classic audio SF stories. Enjoy! Thanks.
