Did you know...

that you can't hum while holding your nose closed?
People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

It's not exactly humming, no, but you can still perform a slightly strangled, muted tune for a few seconds before you die.
I apologise, in advance.

I bet Mince "hums" whatever he does with his nose.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Should we have wished him a 'Happy Birthday', too?

Happy Bathday, Mincey.

Oh, for God's sake: I don't have a bath every year, you know.

Only because I don't know how it goes.

I can hum while my guitar gently weeps

That's the best track on the Beatles' recent "Love" album. It's created using George's original demo version:

I bought the Concert For George DVD recently. It's a lovely thing to sit and watch for an afternoon or evening on your own with a few beers. Great atmosphere in the Royal Albert Hall, and the first bit, featuring the Indian music, is a knockout as is Ravi Shankar's daughter Anoushka.
