Campaigning against ukuleles in schools: “These taxpayer-supported schools are hell-bent on indoctrinating your innocent, unsuspecting children into the ways of the ukulele, an unholy instrument of Satan.” Couldn’t agree more.
The deluxe version of “Living in the Material World” has a bonus feature of a home video of George playing uke contributed by Olivia Arias, Al.
Saying this for others as I’m sure you’re aware of it.
The naysayers and nitpickers are just blowing hot air as far as I’m concerned. Hand position, open or closed. Strum pattern.
Give me a break. Was he supposed to sit around the house making super duper videos with his wife and that he’s a former Beatle?
Maybe people should look for clues that Paul is really dead. This is George as far as I’m concerned and I’ve always thought that this was a nice homey video.

People who’ve quaffed excessive amounts of the ukulele Kool-Aid.
The “ways of the ukulele.” Don’t get me started.
