In the George Harrison tribute there was a touching moment when Paul McCartney sang "Something" accompanied by the uke. He introduced it by saying that if you went to George's house that inevitably the ukes would come out. I can envision these two immensely talented musicians with all their fame and wealth enjoying the simplicity of the ukelele. The songs they must have played.
Ukulele, anyone?
Just found this on Sat eve. Another example of why "stereotypes" are best suited for being blown up. This also blew my mind. Jake Shimabukuro is a master. Talent like this make me believe in God all the more. It is excellent. Hope you can access and enjoy. He has a web site. CD is called "Dragon". Going to get the CD for sure.
