During one of my procrastination sessions last weekend I randomly came across this youtube clip of “Jake Shimabukuro”. He played his version of “While my guitar gently weeps” by George Harrison on a ukulele. I’m usually open to all genres of music and will happily listen to most things anytime but when I heard this piece by Jake I was all ears and could feel his passion as he played! It just sounded so good – different to what I normally listen to. He almost inspired me to buy a ukulele and learn to play that piece!! If only I knew where to get one in Tokyo…now I want to start playing an instrument again.
