“Tea With the Queen”

I asked the AI image-generator DALL-E 2 to create a an image based on this song title.

For those of you who attended David Goren’s Shortwave Shindig at the virtual Winter SWL Fest were treated to a song called Tea With The Queen. This was no ordinary song–as David notes:

This is what happened when I asked ChatGPT to write a country song about a trucker who has tea with Queen Elizabeth whilst they listen to BBC on shortwave radio. Then I got Chris Johnson, an extremely talented and savvy musician, to set it to music.

You can listen to “Tea With The Queen” via the embedded player below, or directly on David Goren’s Soundcloud Page.

Note that David has many more audio goodies on his website Shortwaveology.net.

Thanks for sharing this, David. I think it’s absolutely brilliant!
