Paul is playing a 1920’s Gibson Tenor Ukulele that was gifted to him by George. George Harrison had a very impressive ukulele collection, including two of George Formby’s banjo ukuleles.

I remember seeing Paul in concert not long after George's passing when he brought out the ukelele and told the story of George giving it to him and how he sang Something on it. Not a dry eye in the audience at the end of that song. Not a dry eye. Even I was ugly crying and I don't usually react like that. It reminds me of that John Lennon comment post-Beatles about his former bandmates and that "nothing will ever break the love we have for each other." There is something fortunate about always loving your childhood friends, even as you grow apart.

He finished that with a Masters degree. So he said to George, "Hey you've got to hand it to me, I did all that at 23 years old!" at which George went "Well what was I doing at 23..." at which his eyes began to gleam "I was doing 'Sgt Peppers'." Putting Dhani's accomplishment into perspective. Yup, George did ALL of that before reaching 30.

I play rhythm/lead guitar; piano & drums. But the reason why I decided to primarily be a bassist is because of McCartney. In Macca's hands, the bass is as integral part of the song. No long, winding & acrobatic bass solos; just give the right amount of bass line that the song needs. The groove, the feel, the melody is McCartney.

The one thing that The Beatles did successfully was to be the first BAND. It's why it took them so long to get a recording contract... No one in "the biz" could figure out who was the leader... The Beatles were the first BAND... Four equal Brothers, no leader to focus on... No Buddy Holly and the Crickets... No Elvis with his band... Just four amazing band. Thank God for George Martin to recognize that they wouldn't work if it was John Lennon and the Beatles, or Paul McCartney and the Beatles... Just THE BEATLES!!! That's one of the things that set them apart from everyone else... Then bands started getting signed: The Stones, The Byrd's, The Beach Boys... It happened so quickly that, in hindsight, it's hard to imagine that they were the first to be a bandj of brothers, and each Brother brought their own brilliance to that amazing group... Never mind that they single handedly wrote the anthems of our lives. At Billy Joel's LAST PLAY AT SHEA, he flat out said that none of the people on that stage if The Beatles hadn't done what they did. The Beatles songs really were the soundtrack of our lives! Think about this: The Beatles broke up in 1971, fifty years ago, but they're fan base is still growing! Now my four year old grandson runs around singing Yellow Submarine, Octopuses Garden, even With A Little Help From My Friends!!! I've seen Paul twice and the audience included children, adolescents, middle aged folks, and seniors!!! I've never seen an artist draw so many young people. I cried through most of the show... And then I looked around and realized that everyone, including thousands of young people who were born many generations before The Beatles broke up. That proved to me that the power of those four guy's songs haven't slowed drawing in new fans in the fifty years since they broke up. Not even The Stones (whom I love) are in that class. There's only one band that's still as huge and powerful as they were after breaking up, and that's The Beatles!!! Thank you John, Paul, George and Ringo! God bless you and keep on rocking our lives! ps. R.I.P. John Lennon and George Harrison. I'll miss you for the rest of my life!
