Thanks, Pat. Your explanation agrees with mine - I remember the banjolele
from his films. I think the confusion arises from the fact that George
Formby always called it his little ukulele, but I don't think he was always
referring to his musical instrument. I have a recording of him singing "With
My Little Ukulele In My Hand". The nearest he ever came to OKOM was his
parody of jazz :"John Willie's Jazz Band". As I remember it he had three hit
records, viz.: "When I'm Cleaning Windows", "My Grandfather's Clock", and
"I'm Leaning On A Lamppost".
Cheers
Bob Smith
