# A friend of mine has a gitanjo.
A six string banjo tuned like a guitar...
The sound from it is immense, But it was £600 :-(

# 6 strings? Pah!
I have (somewhere) a Framus 12 string banjo. Takes a week to restring and tune, weighs a ton and is truly horrible!

# "I can play C and G and have a blister on my finger..."
was the first line of George Formby's little known 1924 hit "Eeeeee..by 'eck, y'wanker..."

The chorus ran: "Turned out nice again....E=MC2"

# I can play C and G and have a blister on my finger
I'm an ugly motherfucker
and a truly awful singer

I ply my trade in blackpool docks
singer for my supper
or sucking sailers cocks

Eee by 'eck you wanker
go and fuck yourself
I'm a cheeky northern bastard
and i live on a small shelf*

*ran out of rhymes there, sorry
and it doesn't scan that well either

# Well remembered, mictoboy!
Brought tears to my eyes...Formby often claimed to run out of rhymes. He has since been exposed as an opium fiend.
I think the song featured in the 1927 black and white talkie "Wahey, Mrs Brown - Time for Frottage" ?

You'll remember the wanking scene.

I like how it looks as though everyone else is pretending it's not really happening.
Like people usually do when there's a nutter on the tube.
