Happy Thanksgiving

[scarlatti]

Things I am less than thankful for:
(1) The skin ulcers all over my legs that won't heal and make it near-impossible to walk.
(2) The unstable state of my insides, which haven't wanted to let me eat more than a slice of dry toast for the last week or so.
(3) dougs has to leave in a week

Happy Thanksgiving! Me and My Girl was the musical I did my freshman year in high school (1990!). Good times!

When I read George Formby I thought someone had named a band after the President for Life in the Thursday Next novels.

Now I know (thanks to the wonders of Google) that he was a real person! *blush*

Thanks for the George Formby link. Now why isn't there a site that displays the words at the same time so that you can sing along to the music?

I mean, some of his stuff was made for filking...

I absolutely love the Lambeth Walk.

Any Time you're Lambeth Way
Any Evening, any day
You'll find us all
Doin' the Lambeth Walk

Once you get down Lambeth Way
Every evening, every day
You'll find yourself
Doin' the Lambeth Walk

If you can find it, look up 'Salad Days'. It has some of my favourite happy songs and the plot is delightfully frothy. (If you can't find a copy, I might copy mine for you)

Hugs. I'm glad you have Douglas with you for Thanksgiving.

Formby Karaoke

Hi! There are a few midi karaoke numbers on Gerry's site:

Auntie Maggie’s Remedy
Happy Old time Medley (Its not George Formby but I like it)
I’m Shy (for Rod Thomas from Oz)
Wunga Bunga Boo
Mister Wu’s a Window Cleaner Now
When I’m Cleaning Windows

You need to download VanBasco's Karaoke Player to make these files work. Hope this helps! -from Valerie

(1) Not dead yet.

That's beats even zombieastronaut's "I haven't been hit by a car since 1995."

Also, I'm so happy that you and Doug get to visit again.

I may just have to post a few of my own ...
