Nothings Wong, I Longed For A Gong And Got One For A Song.
« on: 08 August 2014, 11:51:45 PM »
Thanks to Ol Lord Snappy Snapcase, (See link below) I stole, nay borrowed the idea, went looking for a gong,...found one,....and now just have to build a structure.  ;)

Bronze Finish Tibetan Bell Hanging Wind Chime 5.5 cm / 2.4 " Tall.

A solid Brass Tibetan Hanging Bell, this has an aged bronze applied patina. It has a small ring on the top to hang it with, inside is a lead ringer.
This bell has the most amazing ring... its quite loud and musical. It would also make an excellent cow bell.  :o

Did you buy it from a strong man who found it along a billabong and took it home to Wollongong?

That's all very well,
But it's really a bell
Someone wanted to sell,
And for which the Prof fell and purchased, pell mell.
And so, truth to tell,
Those rhymes you must quell,
For it's surely quite wrong to call it a gong.
Back from the dead, almost.

Oh no,... it seems,... I must say aloud,
To quell this gathering of a crowd,
This mass of pulp that form a throng,
That bell to me is still a gong,

So please.... if you... all could go,
Away..... a good stone's..... throw,
There to scream and yell and sing,
With yer own damn gong'n'bell to ring,

For I am only one dead ringer,
Not an op...er....ret...ic singer,
My gong is all I have to show,
No pluck, no strum, no sax to blow.

 lol

I was once a poet
I just didn't know it

That load of old brass
it looks kind of crass
and very low on mass.
Build a frame of bass
wood and on the base
put some static grass
and then it will pass
as an objective place.
