|  |     See, everyone knows all the songs, so where the heck can I get them
    from!
    
    This is a serious note, honest.

|  | Greg,
      you could try Tower records - they can usually get most *things* .
BUT, coming from Glasgow, I dont know if there is a Tower shop your way.
If you do manage to source a copy, please let me know where you got it - 
I love all his old films and the eukal (banjo type thing)!!

|  |     re-1 - I think you mean ukelele?  Some of Georges classic movies have
    been on tv recently, and one today I think also?

        You obviously don't look in the same places as I do!  Try
        going to Boots, or Woolworths or somewhere similar. Look for
        the section marked "Easy Listening" or "Bargain Buys" or
        "Special Purchase" and I reckon you'll stand a good chance of
        finding a George Formby recording. I always seem to :-(
        
        If you're really lucky they'll be in alphabetical order, in
        which case look between "Gracie Fields" and "Foster & Allen".
        
        BTW, I tried this approach at lunchtime, and found a copy of
        GF's 20 Greatest Hits in W.H.Smug's on cassette for �3.55.
        
        Re Films:
        
        Not sure what today's film is, but I know that "Spare A
        Copper" is on next week.  "No Limit", the one where he rides
        in the Isle of Man T.T., is by far the best.

|  |     * There is currently an exhibition about George Formby at Warrington 	
      museum and Art gallery until the end of October 1993.  The title of 
      the exhibition is " Turned out nice again!".  There are a selection of
      cassettes, videos, amongst the merchandising on sale for the "keen"
      fan!!!
