Quote related to 'Good Company' from 'A Night At The Opera'

The song is just a little story about life ... the meaning ought to be self-explanatory when you listen to the words. It's a little work of fiction. No living resemblance....etc etc ... It was a Ukelele ...  PS I honestly can't remember which instrument I used now .... for that particular recording. On stage, I used a Ukelele-Banjo, for sure, but not my Dad's original George Formby one ... it was too delicate to go on tour. For the recording, I remember trying a few options .... the old GF Uke (which has a body like a Banjo .... a frame with a Vellum stretched over it) and a couple of “normal” ukeleles from Hawaii ... which have wooden bodies and look like a miniature Spanish guitar ... The two instruments are more or less identical to play …
