Quote related to 'Bring Back That Leroy Brown' from 'Sheer Heart Attack'

The ukelele was incidental to that because it that was Freddie's song. It had this kind of vaudeville atmosphere and I just thought the ukelele would go nicely on it and we worked beside it, so it could be done, and I managed to fiddle a little ukelele solo. That was the first instrument I played. My father had a genuine George Formby ukelele. George Formby was the originator of that style of playing, which is rhythmic and slightly melodic at the same time, because he played across the top and bottom strings to make little melodies. I'm a pretty poor imitator of that style, but I got interested in it.
