From the film "Let George Do It" (1940) starring George Formby, Phyllis Calvert, Garry Marsh and Hal Gordon. Composers: George Formby and Eddie Latta. Lyrics - Now in our family we've got a heirloom They handed it to me a year ago It's been in our possession since Grandad was a lad I'll tell you what it is and then you'll know It's my grandads Flannelette nightshirt In it I was Christened one day Down at the church they were in a whirl No one seemed to know if I were boy or girl They'd had one or two and ee! They were in mess But it's all right said the preacher rather curt I've been and had a quiz and I've found out what it is By his grandad's Flannelette shirt, Lordy Lordy His grandad's flannelette shirt In 1810 grandfather joined the army To fight Napoleon across the sea You've heard about the battle they had at Waterloo But what was it that brought us victory? Why my grandad's flannelette nightshirt It saved old England that day Bonaparte said, "We are undone!" And even Josephine put her gasmask on! He shot our colours down and captured our flag But we were not downhearted, it's a cert For flying in the gale everyone could see the tail Of my grandad's Flannelette shirt, Lordy Lordy My grandad's Flannelette shirt The other day I got an invitation To go and join a nudist colony And as the life was healthy and in the open air I trotted off as happy as can be With my grandad's flannelette nightshirt I walked up to the door Someone said, "Now, don't make a fuss!"

Lyrics - If there's one thing that I like It's riding around on a motorbike I'm a speed king when I once begin I once won first prize two and six I know all the dirt track dirty tricks I'm a marvel when I'm out to win In a fifty mile race I am the best I ride five miles and skid the rest So come along and see me riding in the TT races Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces I've been riding all my life, I started quite small I've ridden fairy cycles, aye, and scooters and all Hear the people cheer me when they see me steering backwards Down the hill I go at break-neck speed See me coming down the street With the winning post on the pillion seat So come along and see me riding in the TT race Come along and see me riding in the TT races Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces Once my bike was hard to ride, but I didn't mind Until I found they'd hitched a charabanc on behind Everybody's scaring, I am such a daring rider My inside rattles when I go the pace My ribs begin to shake about There's all my spare parts sticking out So come along and see me riding in the TT race - uke solo -- With my gears in reverse The other way round I'll finish first So come .... + Informações

If you are a beginner, you should find this very useful, if you are a master, you can probably give me some tips! In this video I attempt to help you get started in GF uke style, by introducing two basic techniques. First the split stroke, which is the foundation for most of the other GF style strokes, and secondly the thumb roll (or "triple"), which adds a bit of extra interest. Even though these are just two of the techniques, when used together, they can sound sound fantastic. To help make things very clear, I've used animations in slow motion to break down the strums very clearly. Bear in mind that these are designed to mirror the right handed player as they look at the screen. Although a basic triple is easy to learn, the exact triple sound/timing is difficult to master. For this reason I've created a follow on video (see video responses), using GF's own triples to pin down the timing in 1/32nd beats. If you wish to hear GF style played properly or to receive tuition from an official tutor, my channel isn't quite the place! The best advice is to try one of the George Formby Society Conventions (details available from their website). This Banjo-Uke used in this tutorial is a Ludwig Wendell Hall Professional in GCEA tuning. If you would like to try anther tutorial on the split stroke, try user m134mr (Matt Richards) a great player. Cheers, John.. + Informações
