After reeling off spools of information I didn’t need, it asked if I wanted it to repeat the information.<br/><br/>Turns out that this wonder of technology cannot recognise the word “No.”<br/><br/>Three failed attempts later, and getting no closer to speaking to an actual person, I attempted to break the loop by changing my response to “No, I do not want you to repeat the information.”<br/><br/>Naturally, it immediately began repeating the information. 2026-11-02T15:15:21Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsxwypakyhtvpwandpktqxplxzdhzd7gh04d8mgym8uxjxr6qjky3gzyzvgu6txx7ljf3y4zqy0adde69gnn9vqt0a5hjg2y6gxy4p0re08zdgvx28 Starting the week with a spot of uke practice, in this case working on Christopher Davis-Shannon’s arrangement of George Harrison’s version of Arlen &amp; Koehler’s “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea”.

This example is from Mitch Miller (I recommend reading his Wikipedia page).<br/><br/>There are any number of his albums out there and they all seem to be the same sort of thing, but this track is an oddity in that I can&#39;t find any evidence of it appearing on his compilations. For that matter, until I bought an old radio promo copy and uploaded it to YouTube this morning, I couldn&#39;t find more than a brief mention that it existed, let alone any actual audio.<br/><br/>So, is this a lost ukulele gem?<br/><br/>No. For a start, you have to listen pretty close to hear the ukulele at all. It&#39;s a light, novelty piece really, presenting the ukulele as something akin to the results of a Charles Atlas course that will make all the girls swoon on sight. It&#39;s not deep and it&#39;s not clever… but it&#39;s still rather fun in its own way.

Since I live in Leeds these days it wasn’t a quick trip; I’ll also pay for it with a few days of exhaustion, as happens with any such exertion thanks to Long Covid, the reason I’m being forced to retire in the first place. It was a little strange, since everyone moved to a completely different location while I was off sick (I’m telling myself it was coincidence rather than an attempt to avoid me), so this was both my first and last visit to the new office.<br/><br/>Came away with a retirement card signed by some of the staff, a box of Lindor chocolates, and an Amazon gift voucher… and that’s twenty years, all wrapped up and done. Longest job I had, that.
