Will Evans had some advice wot I unforget on a 78 which made my lip
curl, even at the age of seven - "You put the roof on first."
I had two of his monologues - 'Building a Chicken House' and 'Will Evans
Loses His Umbrella'. Two of the unfunniest sketches ever.

Pity the poor sap who buys it then. I had a wind-up gramophone and a few
records. Will Evans was played seldom , mainly when i wanted to gauge
the compatibility of a new fiend.
If new fiend liked Will Evans and not Schubert's Unfinished Sympathy and
Ernest Lough with Mendelssohn's 'hear my prayer' and 'oh for the wings
of a dove', they quickly became acquaintances....
Later, I amassed a collection, mainly of classical music on 78s from
jumble sales.
