A ukulele Beatles marathon was orchestrated by Roger Greenawait and David Barratt with all proceeds donated to Warren Buffett another avid ukulele lover. The fundraising began with a 14 hour marathon of Beatles songs to the tune of ukuleles. In total, 107 artists came together to bring the crowd a Beatles ukulele music marathon no one will soon forget.

The next project, the Beatles Complete on Ukulele, sees a compilation of every Beatles song recorded on ukulele. A song will be released every week with accompanying prose, until 2012.

Warren Buffett first began working the ukulele in university, when courting a girl. The girl was not impressed, but a match was made in heaven. Warren has pledged to buy ukuleles for girls and then give them lessons.

Some important Excerpts from Warren Buffett's interview:

Warren: "The miracles of the ukulele are spread all over."

Unknown person Q: "Warren, as I think you know Roger and Dave produced a ukulele concert in Williamsberg to raise money to give to you. Do you have any other idea how the ukulele can bring us out of the new depression?"

Warren Buffett A: "Well there is no question about it is the answer. Obama hasn't rolled it out, but I am sure it is in the back of his mind as soon as the stimulus fails and tax cuts fail. Nice thing about the uke it is very reasonably priced, it is portable. You can sing with it...the nations are waiting for it."

Little know fact Warren Buffett taught Bill Gates how to play the ukulele.
