[edit] Photo

We've got to be able to find a better photo of the Mills Brothers than merely snaps of the current act; I'm sure they're scholar and a gentleman, but how about a snap of the lads back in the day?

If Britannica.com has a photo, does that mean it's not copyrighted, or does it mean it's copyrighted to Britannica?

It means it's copyrighted to Britannica. It is only suitable for Wikipedia under the non-free content criteria. Graham87 01:52, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay - I rather thought so, but I figured asking was better than just assuming. Thanks.FlaviaR

[edit] Ukulele ?

Hello there,

What about the ukulele mentionned in the article ? It looks that John Jr. played a tenor guitar, not a ukulele - at least I wasn't able to find any picture evidence of the Mill's Brother with a ukulele, while there are plenty of pictures where there's an actual tenor guitar. The idea of a ukulele doesn't fit here, the tenor guitar has a different tuning than the ukulele's and it's very unlikely that a ukulele player or a regular guitar player would switch to a tenor guitar.

My two cents though ;) Ukepedia 01:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
