The Beatles catalogue gets refreshed on… the ukulele? It’s true! And Jennifer was there to experience it.<\/p>\n

\n

The Beatles Complete on the Ukulele<\/a> 2011, producer Roger Greenawalt’s annual weekend-long celebration of the Beatles’ entire catalog \/ fundraiser – this year’s recipient is Mark Zuckerberg – took place this past Saturday and Sunday at the Brooklyn Bowl.<\/p>\n

This actually marks the second<\/i> concert I have attended in a bowling alley. The first a all-star Cure cover-band (The Love Cats) at Asbury Lanes, and, well, I love all aspects of Asbury Park, Asbury Lanes included, but in terms of style, Brooklyn Bowl is a cut above. It is, in fact, possibly the fanciest bowling alley I have ever attended. Also, the food is delicious. <\/p>\n

The “Uke Mob”, performing Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?<\/i> <\/center>
The first two songs of the evening were performed by a “Uke Mob” made up of enthusiastic amateurs. After that, a wide variety of bands took the stage to celebrate the Beatles, and were accompanied by Greenawalt on the ukulele. The following are some of my favorite moments: <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6245\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Zambonis<\/a>, their mascot, and Greenawalt <\/center> <\/p>\n

I promise I am not making this up: The Zambonis are normally dedicated solely to songs celebrating hockey. I took this particular picture when their mascot, Sir Hockey Monkey, joined them on stage for a rousing rendition of Everybody’s Got Something To Hide But Me And My Monkey<\/i>. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6322\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Wild ConFabulations singing When I’m 64<\/i> through a traffic cone. <\/center> <\/p>\n

In addition to inventive appropriation of non-musical objects, the Wild ConFabulations gave the proceedings some swing. And some tap; for their songs, percussion was provided by the shoes of Lorinne Lampert, the talented lady on the far right. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6383\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A.L.X. of Love Crushed Velvet <\/a> and Greenawalt, powering through Back in the U.S.S.R.<\/i> <\/center> <\/p>\n

A.L.X. made an interesting point when introducing the song: the USSR as a concept is starting to fade from pop-cultural (if not historical) memory. The song is as catchy as ever, though. (By which I mean: the chorus is still stuck in my head.) <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6418\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nat Wolff (left) and friends, making Here Comes the Sun <\/i> bearable.<\/center>
All I am going to say is that I once had an alarm clock that played cheesy synthed-out version of Here Comes the Sun<\/i>; I still kind of want to throw something across the room when I hear it. The Wolff brothers<\/a> and friends performed a far superior interpretation of the tune. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6555\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Starting the Magical Mystery Tour<\/i> with The Jingle Punks<\/center>
Intriguing discovery: the Jingle Punks <\/a> are both a band and a music licensing company! If you are a musician and want to get your work on tv or in movies, etc, you probably want to check them out. <\/p>\n
