Ok, don't laugh.. I love playing my uke (minds out of the gutters please). Anyway, I found this site a while ago and just remembered it, so I thought some of you uke players might like it.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps, stunningly played on the uke in Central Park, NYC.
:wow:
I find it hard to believe there are only four strings on that thing...exquisite playing!

4. Concert for George is one of my top concert movies
Anoushka Shankar's performances are excellent and I think it is cool that Clapton steps back from the spotlight and really makes the concert a tribute to George.

On the Beatles Anthology DVD set, they have some footage of George and Paul playing a few songs together on the ukuleles.

5. I'll have to look for the Anthology
Concert for George is one I can watch over and over. All those musicians, egos aside, playing together. It's amazing.
