Here's a poem that may very well originate from the Melly household.

His death didnt exactly fire off a wave of tributes did it.
" Any holes a goal" Melly who couldnt sing, couldnt dance and had the dress sense of Helen Keller has left the Earth with an obituary slightly smaller than Jeremy Beadles withered hand.
Poor old sod.

George's Funeral.
Buried in a decorative cardboard coffin.
The trout also puts in an appearance, I'm pleased to see.

A trout with an eye-patch! Wonderful!

Hey daddy-o, on Weds 25th July at 10.30pm on BBC4 there's a documentary about trad jazz with George reliving his wild times on the road in the 50s, followed by 15 mins of Feetwarmers footage at the Brecon Jazz festival.
Here's a penny for your thoughts; incidentally, you may keep the change

Feetwarmers!?
Fleetwarmers wasn't it, some sleazy reference to women who shagged sailors.

Maryport is a disappointment for which there is no cure, but the annual Deathrace thread hereabouts provides welcome distraction.

On November 7th, at 9pm, on BBC4, there will be a programme on George Melly's final weeks. More Here
Although concentrating on dementia, and what sufferers go through (and if this makes people understand more about it, then excellent, as I feel a wider audience should generally appreciate more about it & how it affects people's lives), it will, of course, feature heavily on the star that was George.
Considering how good, thought-provoking & sobering the Ross Davidson documentary was, post-death, I will certainly tune in for this one.
