I didn't realize that the ukelele had its strings arranged in such an unusual tuning. Reminds me of the gears on a motorcycle or something (one down, four up, etc).

When I saw Paul McCartney he brought a ukelele which he said had been a gift from George Harrison, who had been a lover and collector of the instrument. He then went on to play George's song "Something" on the ukelele in a 1920's-1930's style. The song translated well to that style of playing.
