Beatles Banjo

John Walkenbach at The J-Walk Blog is a big banjo/ ukulele/guitar enthusiast.

He found a picture of a banjo (or banjo ukulele) called 'The Beatles Banjo' and wondered if the Beatles ever played a banjo on any of their recordings. It appears that they did indeed, on 'All Together Now' with John Lennon doing the playing.

George Harrison became a big fan of the ukulele and always carried a couple around with him just in case he met another ukulele fan. Joe Brown, a long time friend of George, closed George's memorial concert with this lovely and moving version of "I'll See You In My Dreams".
