Something is just not right. Here's hoping Mr Shimabukuro doesn't run afoul of the intellectual property Nazis. I call Fair Use. He was in a public place and it was captured on You-biqui-Tube. The best version I've heard was played in a T-station on a violin. Nice rendition, but on a ukelele? Something is just not right.

Personally I'd say January 1963 with the release of 'Please Please Me', although I wouldn't disagree too much with anyone who wanted to go back to the release of 'Love me do' the previous October. And for the nit-pickers I know 'My Bonnie' came out before that but it didn't make any impression on me then or later. #1 Floyd, I doubt that I’m the only greying Brit who would say it began a good year earlier.

I believe Mr. Harrison would approve. Jake Shimabukuro and his ukulele version of a Beatles classic is better than George himself.
