Beatle-fans dig the ukulele

There is a current trend among Beatles fans to take up the ukulele.  I did.  George Harrison loved the ukulele and would always have extras around to play with his friends. Paul also featured a ukulele song, Ram On, on an early solo album. C'mon pick up a ukulele and strum along. Its great fun! This lens brought to you by Beatle-fans.com

George Harrison 

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

Here is George Harrison playing a classic ukulele song, Between The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, a song featured on his last album Brainwashed. It is a great old jazz classic which was also covered by Frank Sinatra. The phrase "between the devil and the deep blue sea" is kind of like the saying "between a rock and hard place." Enjoy!

Ain't She Sweet 

The Threetles

George on ukulele with Paul and Ringo doing one of their first songs

Ain't she sweet-McCartney&Harrison on ukulele+Ringo(1994)

Paul and George perform Milton Ager and Jack Yellen 1927 song Ain't she sweet. George plays ukulele. From Beatles Anthology DVD. "Ain't She Sweet" is a song composed by Milton Ager and Jack Yellen in 1927. It became popular in the first half of the twentieth century, one of the smash hit songs that typified the Roaring Twenties. Like "Happy Days Are Here Again" (1929), it became a Tin Pan Alley standard. Both Ager and Yellen were elected to membership in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Lyrics "Oh ain't she sweet, well see her walking down that street. Yes I ask you very confidentially: ain't she sweet? Oh ain't she nice, well look her over once or twice. Yes I ask you very confidentially: ain't she nice? Just cast an eye in her direction. Oh me oh my, ain't that perfection? Oh I repeat, well don't you think that's kind of neat? Yes I ask you very confidentially: ain't she sweet?". Milton Ager wrote "Ain't She Sweet" for his daughter Shana Ager, who later grew up and became Shana Alexander, who was on television and on radio as a political commentator.
