It's not awfully hard. Just play it normally but the right hand a semitone higher so it clashes and sounds off-key.

A supremely funny and charming man. I would loved to have met him. His family can be very proud indeed of all the joy and laughter he brought to many. Mr Dawson I hope you are happy in heaven looking down on your family.

Believe it or not, but it was 30 years this June when Les passed away (In 1993.). _But it only seems like yesterday...!!??_ I'm shocked it was such a long time ago. He was a comic genius who could really play the piano. But to play it as badly as he did, showed us all what a great talent he was. RIP you fantastically funny man.

" She's right up my street, Elaine " that was razor sharp and the audience didn't pick it up. What a beautiful man. I miss the days as well, of jokes, just silly jokes. My wife is a terrible cook, in our house we say Grace after we eat. Nowadays everything old is thrown away. Maybe I'm getting old . Oh, nostalgia, they say it's a thing of the past. Boom Boom.😀😃

@kevinmcgrath2077 8 ай бұрын

He throws them out so quickly the audience cant keep up. I like when he said he only played piano in the brothel to to get rid of the customers. Parky said "You played them out" and he replied "No I broke their rhythm". Only a few in the audience caught that one :)

The adoration that Michael had for great comics just made Les shine even more brightly in this interview which I recall seeing as a child; it was a delight then and it is a delight now.

i heard Twiggy once say he was lovely, polite and kind to all women. once in a bar there was a guy being a bit forceful in getting her attention, Les walked the length of the bar grabbed him by the collar the threw him out the door. Later he amde sure she got a ride home with one of his friends, to make sure she got there safe. the friend told her he had to make sure she went in okay or Les would break his arm. so she rang the pub and spoke to him to reassure him she was hone safe. a true gent.

Jethro went through Covid, but he was a bit more than risqué. The ONLY comedian left for me is Mick Miller. It is indeed a very sad world when good comedians fade away with nobody to replace them. Maybe there is one, she has a monkey, I apologise for not remembering her name. Sorry.
