Why is your guitar weeping? I don't understand artistes at all.

I have my Grand Uncles Tiple, I wish I knew how to play it.
It has 6 more strings that the ukelele.

Quite the rage in the 20's and 30's

Reference to George Harrison’s song on the Beatles White Album of which Harrison was a founding member....While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Eric Clapton of Layla and Cream fame played the tasty licks

Same album that had Helter Skelter whic inspired Charlie Manson

That’s way better than my piano version hack of this beautiful melody.

This is one of my go to songs sitting at the key board. I could just enjoy playing the chords. The Beatles had quite a few chord changes in their music which had come a long way from their three chord 1 4 5 blues roots.

Something I had read was that George kept a number of Ukes at his home, and it wasn't unusual for him to break them out when friends would visit for impromptu jam sessions.

Because he left the cake out in the rain and he doesn't know if he can take it, cause it took so long to bake it and he'll never have that recipe again.

Buster Keaton on the Yuke, Cliff Edwards singing the scat (30 seconds in) ...Yukes were in a lot of movies in the depression era.

I guess it’s time for a comeback! :-) :-(
