What a great thread with wonderful contributions! Thought I'd do something a little different and show you my Beatles shrine:

Great video John, I just knew you'd bring something special to this fun thread

Some great contributions by Joseph (Lapyang), Dave (S11LKO), John (keonepax), and Gillian! Here's another I just did this morning. So many great ukulele players have covered this tune, including people who have posted on this thread. Please consider this video an invitation to submit your versions! And thanks to UU member CulpRJ who posted this fun and simple arrangement, so new players like me can give it a go.

Fabulous work Kevin, you are making me want a GodinMulti uke with these fine videos, thanks for sharing

All these wonderful contributions. It makes me nervous to share my meager offering, but I'm ready to throw something out there. Please forgive my croaky voice. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the Shure mic I got over the weekend. Any suggestions on how to get my vocals not to be overpowered by my uke are very welcome.

How wonderful this is RafterGirl, welcome aboard the Beatles Express!

Great one Brian! Your son has obviously inherited your vocal skills!

You did great! That Moon Bird is sounding fantastic, and I bet you have lots of fun with the kids doing that song.

And "I Will" is one of my favorite songs, so thanks for sharing that one, too.

I really enjoyed that. I didn't expect that song to be covered here.
Now I have to figure out what a cajon is.

I had another patient who loved "Count On Me" by Bruno Mars. The Okie Dokie Brothers are also kid favorites. Jamming with the music therapists & kids in the music room is a blast. It's great to do something fun with the kids instead of stuff that's painful or scary. Uplifting for the kids, and for us caregivers as well. How can you not be lifted up by The Beatles!

It's the wooden "drum box" thingie that his son is sitting on and playing. We have a guy who brings his to our monthly jams. It's really fun to have percussion, along with a uke bass player at the jam.

At my stage of learning to play the uke, this was a bit challenging for me, but I love the song and wanted to get it in on this fun thread. I’m rushing about all over the place at the moment and am sort of posting this without really checking it first, so hope it didn’t turn out too bad and without too many mistakes. Anyway, I can only improve as time passes...hopefully! lol

Dave you are just a star........I would come and be entertained by you anytime...........!

Lapyang said:
This is my rendition of “Let it be”.

Joseph

Joseph, I am so glad you decided to participate..... Your playing is improving at a phenomenal pace. Wonderful stuff!

Camsuke said:
Here's an instrumental version of "Till There Was You" I recorded a while back It's a slightly different feel for the humble ukulele as it uses Plectrum Banjo tuning

Campbell that is such a beautifully arranged and performed piece.......fabulous!

Gillian said:
Such great Beatle song covers! I've enjoyed every one.

Great to see you again Gillian.........I really love Strawberry Fields..........Keep em coming!

John what can I say. I knew you would come up with something special and you did not disappoint. You are a true Beatles fan......Thanks for letting us into your shrine. I have the Beatles anthology also and it must be one of the few DVDs that I own that I have watched more than once!

A big thanks to everybody who is enjoying this thread.....................I know I am. You are all great!
Mike

What a great thread!
Beatles music is "hallowed ground" to me so I feel like nothing I can do will ever be good enough. But I tried pretty hard to get this one right and it seemed to suit my style so here we go - this is all I got!
George Harrison's songs always give me a lift...
