While My Ukelele Gently Weeps

Mike (mikiesoft) : I've seen Paul McCartney play "Something" on a ukelele as a tribute to George Harrison, and I've seen Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" done in various live settings, but I've never seen or heard this song played on a ukelele before!

David (CyberCoder) :And have you ever seen a ukelele played like this before ? Holy smoke Batman, that sounds fantastic. Makes me want to play the ukelele. Of course, a wee bit slower I am sure. The funny thing is that the young man who showed me this video had never heard the song before, then I loaned him my Jeff Healey - "Hell to Pay" CD. He came back all surprised the song was on there, of course then I had to share the original with him and tell him who George Harrison was.
