I am a fan of George Formby and one track by Perry Como "Glendora".

Any opportunity of posting a picture of the ukulele maestro shown be taken:

Replace the "is the" with "are" and you'll be correct BitchBrew.

Ah, good ol' George Formby, I know he didn't write any of his own tunes, but I just think it's some weird nostalgia thing with me.  Some of if stuff was amusing..., just listen to Hindoo Man and you'll realise what I mean.

Thanks for the photo NutterAlert!

Has anyone heard the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain?  Their CD is very odd and worth a spin or two.  They'll be touring at some point in the future too.

They could do a Ukelele Prog covers album..., but I think that's a bad idea come to think of it.

I don't have the album as yet, but I know that album is 'Butterfly', which is revered as a cult classic in some magazines I've read.

It's so wonderful that all of us agree on which bands deserve to be here!

Gee if Turn It On Again is your favorite Genesis song, then  I'm convinced now that you really are the REAL Lindsay Lohan! Do you know who Peter Gabriel is?

In that little collage posted by Batman, Phil bears one hell of a resemblance to John Locke in "Lost".

Actually you hear that one very often and generally about twenty times after a post stating that ELP sucks

But I will certainly never say this as I explained myself on the subject many times!!

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Right - I have a stereo copy probably not played in over decade - one problem, it appears I over- used the propriety silicone-based anti-static liquid (very unwisely) recommended in those days. Back in the 70's, playing vinyl meant the styllus ploughed out dried anti-stat wax, and the sound would get increasingly muffled in minutes with wax build-up. And it is a bitch cleaning silicone off anything. Maybe it is worth copying onto CD following a hi-fi digital clean up - let you know if it works..................
