Never mind the banjo pegs, the series is set in 1895 but the Hohner that Alf plays was made in the 1930s - doh!
The first tune was Rig a Jig Jig in G, played on a wet tuned Castagnari Sander D/G.
The second tune was an adaptation of the Gipsy Song (in C minor) that Alf sings outside his new house. As far as I know it was written especially for the programme. I played it on a Hohner Double Ray Bb/Eb, dry tuned, no thirds.
The backing tracks were pre-recorded so we were all miming for the camera, although Alf was singing live.
The guitarist's name was Arthur Dick. Careful!

And did fiddles back then have micro-adjusters on all four strings? |

I thought I'd finally forgotten it, until last night. It has been my earworm today.

went for tuna mayonase in the end....but the tin of tuna in olive oil looked a bit odd (jellyfied) when I took it out the fridge and opened it. But it smelt/tasted ok.
I hope I won't get food poisoning again.

I prefer the term "Dread Thrift" myself. Something to do with miserly tendencies, I suppose...

Olive oil does do that if you chill it, it says so on the back of the bottle. |

Shouldn't that be Lard Rise to Fork Handle? |
