Tedster Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 According to informed sources, the ukulele was George Harrison's favorite instrument. He collected 'em. When he went into a new town, he'd hit the pawn shops looking for ukuleles...and if he had company over, he'd bring out a bunch of ukes and they'd have a jam.

shikawkee Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Funny this topic comes up when I'm thinking of buying my first uke. Check out a pub called the Ukelele Occassional if you're interested too. Very cool and informative pub. Gotta' be a real labor of love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Cool sorta bluesy thing there, thanks for posting the link, Dak. When I saw McCartney a couple years ago...he did a campy version of "Something" on a Uke, as a tribute to the then-recently-deceased Harrison. I guess ukuleles were popular in the UK early on, and a lot of acts featured ukulele performers. The Beatles sort of gave a nod to that influence at the end of the "Free As A Bird" video.

Gus Lozada Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Thanks for the link, Dad! Well... it was nice... but not enough to see it as "the next big thing".

tradivoro Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Oh yeah, I could hear that now, the uke through a digital delay and the accordion through a distortion pedal... Cool sound..

Botch. Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I think after watching dork-boy play air-ukelele in the latest IHOP commercial, no one will ever take it seriously.

geoffk Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 wasn't it the next big thing two or three years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sayers Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I grew up playing Ukes - love them especially en mass. The next big thing in Australia I reckon will be Bollywood!! after a doco I saw last night on it's creeping influence into the aussie dance culture. An aussie born Indian muso has just had a No 1 in India with a Bollywood style track (sung in Indian) - imagine the royalties!! cheers john Studio Design Forum Studios Under Construction Home Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
