George Formby Songbook | Music Sales Corporation, George Formby

Day 10 - #WithMyLittleStickOfBlackpoolRock #GeorgeFormby #RedRoseSeptember

Cinfhen, arlenefinnigan

arlenefinnigan Hehehehe 6y

Cinfhen So the British version of Bing Crosby??? 6y

gradcat @Cinfhen Not sure Crosby would sing songs with double entendres like Formby did, though 😂 The wildest he ever got was singing “The Little Drummer Boy” with David Bowie on one of his Christmas specials 📺! (edited) 6y

Cinfhen Hahaha @gradcat 6y

gradcat @Cinfhen I guess Formby‘s songs weren‘t really overtly racy, though, so what do I know? See my correction above...😂🤣😂 I‘m always double- and triple-checking myself! 🤔 6y

Louise @CouronneDhiver The Magic Fluke Company is about 2 hours from where I live. They are such great people, very friendly, and the atmosphere is one of warmth and good humor. That‘s the joy of uke! 7y

CouronneDhiver The only thing I know about them is that most people mispronounce the Hawaiian word: ooo-koo-lay-lay. I learned that when I was a travel agent, doing the Master Specialist program in Honolulu. 🌴🌴 7y

Louise @CouronneDhiver I love it that pronouncing “ukulele” is part of a travel agent‘s training! 😆 7y

catsuit_mango Pretty. Another ukulele player here :) always a great way to put a smile on your face and perfect to travel with :) 7y

Cathythoughts Very good 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y

CouronneDhiver Ha! They taught us a bunch of prononciation for common streets and areas too, but ukulele was on the list. Lol 7y

Briguy73 Love that uke! I play one.They are a lot of fun! 7y

Louise @catsuit_mango @Briguy73 Great to meet some fellow ukesters here! The little 4-stringed wonder always brings a smile to my face! 😃 7y

Louise @Cathythoughts Agreed! Books and music in a great little package! 💕 7y

EricaReads Wow, I want it! I play too 😍 7y

catsuit_mango Do we need to create a #bookanduke tag? 7y

Louise @EricaReads Hooray! Another ukulele playing reader! 🎉 7y

The book takes place in an unnamed city but there is several mentions of streets, a lake and areas within the city, and it‘s totally my hometown! A city about an hour west of Toronto.(Hamilton!) I can honestly say I have never read a book that takes place there. Sure enough, when I googled the author,her bio claims she did grow up there but is now living in SoCal.
It‘s such a cool feeling, I guess this is how New Yorkers feel reading most books.

Cathythoughts That‘s amazing ... great detective work. 👍🏻 nice one ! 8y

Christine Fun! 8y
