NEW YORK (AP) — Vanessa Carlton, Ryan Miller of Guster and The Naked Brothers Band plan to take part in a Beatles ukulele festival. The Beatles Complete On Ukulele Festival will be December 6 in New York. The entire Beatles catalog will be covered that day on ukulele. Anyone who shows up early with a ukulele will get free admission and a place in the uke ensemble that will open the show with two as-yet-unrevealed Beatles songs. Sixteen Yoko Ono impersonators will be on hand because the organizers decided as a joke to donate proceeds to Ono. Last year's festival benefited Warren Buffett.

How random is that? Ukulele? I'm for anything to do with the Beatles though so its cool that she's going. I wish she would do a Beatles cover!

Hmmm, I would go since I'm in the city but they say doors open at 12 pm. It means I have to stay the whole day there to be near the front to actually be able to see Vanessa for 2 songs? $:-\$

ukulele? I wonder how much one of those cost. Not that I'm going to be able to go anyway.

I don't understand why people always want to be so close to the stage all the time. But that is just me. I'd rather be in the back near the bar with the cool people. Hopelessly alcoholic, but cool.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I'm kinda confused...is Vanessa going to be playing a ukulele?

I hope so.

She can play guitar a little, and said she's gonna be using the guitar on the new record a lot. Are the guitar chords the same for the ukulele? I think so? And those Beatles songs aren't really hard to play, so...I hope she does.
