As those of you who’ve been following my ukulele exploits<\/a> know, not only did I fall in love with George Formby<\/a>, but I actually went ahead and joined the George Formby Society<\/a>, where it turned out I was only the 12th U.S. member.<\/p>\n

Since we’re so spaced out across the country, we’ve yet to meet face-to-face, our only contact being via email, Facebook, and Skype. I’m sure we’ll meet someday. But you can meet them now, and by their wonderful playing see the long road I must travel before I’ll properly be able to play this four-string weapon which has captured my heart.<\/p>\n

First up, Nashville’s Johnny Foodstamp<\/a>, covering the George Formby classic, “Why Don’t Women Like Me?”<\/a><\/p>\n
