Hello Chris
I'm so sorry to hear of your Uncle's passing. He got in touch with me a few years ago about his dialect writing in general as I have an interest in Lancashire dialect and we had a few emails pass between us over various things. Another song of his that was a great favourite was "Awterations" about how pubs have changed over the years and there was a verse in it that someone sang that Ernie didn't write and I asked him if he knew anything about it which I don't think he did so he was interested to hear it. I was thinking of getting in touch with him again to see if he would be interested in the Lancashire Society which has recently been formed to record and preserve the dialect and other aspects of Lancashire life but sadly that is not to be now.
