Fischy Music on the Thai/Burmese Border

Fischy Team — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 12:25:45 +0000

“…. we sing, I FEEL GOOD by Fischy Music, which transcends all cultural barriers. Thanks Stephen Fischbacher once again for the music that we use so much here on the Thai Burma border. It’s a novelty for the children to sing a fun song in assembly and people stream out of secondary classes to watch from the other buildings. ”

Some NEW Words

Fischy Team — Mon, 17 May 2010 10:52:01 +0000

We had a good laugh with the children at St James Church this week when we re-wrote the words from “Words” (from the “I Wonder Why” Album).

Here they are:

“Some Words”

Some words are spikey like pineapple, Some words are freezing like ice, Some words are sweaty like Australia, Some words are squeaky like mice

Words, words, words, What would we do without words; Words, words, words, What would we do without words

Some words are rainy like Edinburgh, Some words are boring like school, Some words are colourful like rainbows, Some words are watery like pool

Words, words, words…

Some words are chatty like teeth or mouth, Some words are long like sticks, Some words are tasty like strawberries, Some words are hard like bricks

Words, words, words…

Some words are bossy like teacher, Some words are random like fish, Some words are awesome like Elvis, Some words are ridiculously long like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Words, words, words…

New lyrics for Weird and Wonderful

Suzanne — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:30:58 +0000

Here are some new lyrics for ‘Weird and Wonderful’ (from I Wonder…WHY? album) from the Stirk family in Haxby. I think they might be even better than the original ones! Great fact-finding you guys Suzanne

A hungry octopus will eat its own arms - Wow, that’s amazing! Ostriches wee on their legs to cool them down - Wow, that’s amazing! A shrimp’s heart is in its head - Wow, that’s amazing! Bees don’t have ears but have five eyes - Wow, that’s amazing!

Underneath its fur, a zebra’s all black - Wow, that’s amazing! Leeches have thirty-two brains - Wow, that’s amazing! Fleas drink fifteen times their weight in blood - Wow, that’s amazing! Elephants cannot jump - Wow, that’s amazing!

All the world’s spiders weigh more than us people - Wow, that’s amazing! Giraffe’s hearts work harder than a petrol pump - Wow, that’s amazing! A grasshopper’s ears are on its knees - Wow, that’s amazing! Ten thousand humans are born each hour - Wow, that’s amazing!

Lovely trip to York

Suzanne — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 10:57:16 +0000

Sandy and I spent a brilliant two days in the York area from 4-6 February. I meant to blog it straight away but here we go - only 2 weeks late! We visited Ralph Butterfield Primary, Forest of Galtres Primary, ran a training morning for almost 50 adults and then a sell-out concert in Haxby Methodist Church! We also got a rare opportunity to play our ‘non-Fischy’ songs that we write and record as duo Fair Witness (www.fairwitness.net). It was honestly one of the best trips we have done, and hats off to Cameron and Lucy Stirk who organised it all impeccably. We had so much lovely feedback which helps remind us, 12 years on, of the power that music has to cheer people up, make them think and bring them together as a family, school or church. I came away feeling totally blessed and so lucky to have the best job in the world….. thanks everyone.
