Ringo Starr Was Grateful Whenever George Harrison Put Away His Ukulele

George Harrison and Ringo Starr knew each other for the entirety of their adult lives. The two men were friends and collaborators for years, but they had their fair share of rough patches. Relations between the former members of The Beatles were thorny after they broke up and, in the 1970s, Harrison had an affair with Starr’s wife. They overcame even this, but some things about Harrison still frustrated Starr. One of these was his incessant playing of the ukulele.Harrison learned about the ukulele through British musician George Formby. After seeing Formby play, Harrison vowed to learn to play the instrument himself. Harrison played the ukulele throughout the 1960s but became more fixated on it in the 1980s. He invited musician Joe Brown to come to his home to play it with him.
