OK, I'm going to share a recording of myself playing Five Foot Two on the Banjo Uke. I don't have great recording equipment, so my voice is a bit quiet (or the uku is a bit loud). Which is a good thing, I wouldn't want to scare you off......

Hope this works....

Oh thank you, Dragon. I don't have decent sound on this device so I will listen tomorrow.

Neat! You are correct Dragon, that is Portobello Road, Notting Hill. We have the high temps for today and tomorrow but they drop back on Sunday I'm told.

CK when it comes to accents mine is similar to David Beckham's. Sadly that is about the only thing of his I share as we diverge sharply in the area of money, looks and footballing talent.

Leigh - I do not recall ever having Peach pie. I need to rectify that omission.

It is nearly 4:15pm here and as sometimes happens on a Friday afternoon some people at work have gone a bit crazy. A nerf gun war is currently underway lol!
Peach pie is a real treat, saoutchik Yummy.

Wow wow wow Dragon!
You're pretty good with a ukulele, I'm impressed!!!
Too bad we don't hear you very well, you have a sweet juvenile voice!

Here are the lyrics I've found for those who would like to sing-a-long!

Click here ---> STDragon on Ukulele
Has Anybody Seen My Gal? (aka Five Foot Two)
Five foot two, eyes of blue
But oh, what those five foot could do
Has anybody seen my girl?
Turned up nose, turned down hose
Never had no other beaus
Has anybody seen my girl?
Now if you run into a
Five foot two, covered with fur
Diamond rings and all those things
Betcha' life it isn't here
But could she love, could she woo?
Could she, could she, could she coo?
Has anybody seen my girl?


Keep the good work Dragon!!!
I'm so happy to be on the Sober Bus again this morning!

Ahh gee, thanks... Its a few simple chords but fits the banjo uke so well if you play it fast enough...

You found the right words... In the Vancouver book that line reads:
'choochee choochee choochee coo'

Dragon you were really good. I am most impressed. Well done sir!

I expect that batter was cooked in beer, it often is these days to give it that distinctive texture. You cannot taste it so it is no kind of trigger but obviously I don't make it at home.
