Pistachio is Pavarotti

Man, something really F-U-N-N-Y happened to me today.

Was promoting my recital on Friday to my new colleague, G. He said, "Alamak I can't make it la, am leaving for home town on Friday." So I gave him a sneak preview of my performance by singing him a few lines from Rossini's Il Rimprovero .

I also showed him an old leaflet I found in a box sitting under my desk, the Three Sopranos Plus One concert flyer...where Tan Sin Sim sang the same song I'm going to sing. G looked puzzled and fascinated at the same time, he was trying to name Pavarotti but it came out...

"Eh this song is like what that guy sings, that singer, what's his name???? Pis-pistachio?"

I laughed so much then I don't think I could laugh any more later when I relate this story to my friends at rehearsal.

It was funnier then, when it happened.
