So... As you all know, or have been able to guess, I picked up the ukulele and got serious with it about a year an half ago. Not long after I got started, I decided that I was going to learn this song, it make me think of SR and all the wonderful people here including the sober bus gang.

It took me a year to learn to play this and about a dozen takes to get this without a mistake.

You got a friend in me.

Holy crap....the neighbors mentioned having fireworks and they weren't kidding! Fell asleep early & suddenly woke up from the noise....went outside and it was like fourth of July!

Guess it's 2019! Happy New Year from Florida!

Happy New Year everyone.

George Harrison was a fan of Formby, a member of the Society and an advocate of the ukulele. Harrison played an ukulele solo in the style of Formby at the end of " Free as a Bird ". A member of the Society does not need to have musical ability to join the George Formby Society.

Happy New Year Overs, start a new job in the morning right here at home for a change. Waiting to hear from my lawyer about getting my DL back, haven't had one in 14 years. This is the last obstacle from my past that's been holding me back. I'm about to be free as a bird with a S-load of money in my pocket so I could just as easily screw it all up as anything else. Gonna have to get a new focus on my sobriety.

Good luck with your drivers license Nefer, that will be thrilling after 14 years. Do you have to re-sit a test or anything?

Saoutchik, waiting to hear from my lawyer to know how it's all gonna go down. Might have to go to Colorado and maybe go to jail or I might be able to go to court over the phone, pay whatever the court orders.

Happy New Year, dear friends. Sorry that I haven’t been around. I think of y,all all the time. Going through a very difficult and sad time but absolutely no thoughts of drinking - none whatsoever..

Love to all.
