Al,
I would suggest that most Americans would be weak on Joe Brown. However his performance in the Concert for George Harrison should have changed all that. The great “I’ll see You in My Dreams” tribute song at the ending was terrific.

Oh, and don’t be embarrassed by your interview with Jim D’Ville! It’s very enlightening.

Not uke related, but Beatles related. I was browsing around
on CDBaby early Friday morning – Pacific Time US – while
waiting for NASA TV to kick-in with its coverage of the moon
crash mission, when I stumbled onto an interesting Beatles-esque
CD, OFF THE BEATLE TRACK, by the band Apple Jam, released this year.

What they do on this CD is take 15 songs that Lennon/McCartney
wrote but never recorded on an official Beatles album, instead giving
them to other artists to record (Peter & Gordon, Billy J. Kramer, etc), & in effect, make a Beatles album of the songs. As one band member says, “We used the same microphones, gear, & studio techniques of the period. Our goal was to make the album sound
just like an early Beatles record, between WITH THE BEATLES and A HARD DAY’S NIGHT, when most of these songs were written.”

A sample of each song is provided, & anyone who finds the idea
interesting should go & listen.

I didn’t know what a moleskin notebook was until I read this:

Thanks for the advert, Al!

Sixteen Yoko Ono impersonators- sounds like a conceptual art piece worthy of Yoko Ono herself.

When I hear “Joe Brown,” I always think of Joe E. Brown. Joe E. Brown is best known today for his role in SOME LIKE IT HOT, a movie about a ukuleleist played by Marilyn Monroe.
