Know your instrument

Read an article the other day about George Formby. Great performer but the article referred to him as playing the ukelele. Well, he didn't - or at least the instrument with which he is most associated is not a ukelele, it's a banjolele, or banjo-ukelele. The true ukelele looks like an undersized guitar. It's what Marilyn Monroe played (or pretended to play) in "Some Like It Hot".
