Another Magical Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain Moment
So, this morning I hopped on the ole computer feeling a little bit groggy (I'm not a morning person). I headed over to twitter to see if I had missed anything, and I notice that @valcam1 has tweeted a Youtube link at me. The morning is starting to look up. So, I made my way over to Youtube to see a Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain video that I've never seen before. Huzzah! Now, I don't know if I'm just slightly emotional today, or maybe slightly hungover, or what, but when they all come in together at the end, I definitely teared up a little bit. Yeah, I'm a sap, I'll admit it. Enjoy!
Nice, I love the UOoGB, and haven’t seen this clip.
On the subject of tearing up, the one that always gets me every time is when the old 60′s rocker Joe Brown does a magnificent version of “I’ll see you in my dreams” on the Uke at the end of the George Harrison rememberance concert. Really, really moving. You can find it on YouTube with some static visuals, the videos have been removed for copyright reasons. I’ve never really been a fan of Joe Brown’s, but this performance is so touching and poignant, it’s up there with the best things I’ve ever seen.

I’m listening to Joe Brown now. You are right, this song is fantastic! I need to learn it now.
