Wow, that was pretty amazing! His fingers looked like they were dancing across the instrument.

Terra said...

Oh man, I couldn't get your mp3 player to pause for nothing so I just cranked the speakers and I can tell you that guy is amazing (not prince) what a moving piece.

OMG Beautiful ... and i just heard a busker play a rendition of this song on guitar yesterday and it was beautiful as well ... Loved your U post!!!

My oldest son has just spent half the day on his ukulele. I thought I'd heard enough for the day, but I was pleasantly wrong. Thanks

I've always loved the ukelele...guess, after visiting Hawaii about ten times over the years, the sound really grew on me.

I forgot to add there is a component in this music that reminds of a mountain dulcimer.

I have seen this on another blog in the last few months. Thanks for sharing really enjoyed listening again.

Cheryl said...

Nice musical choice for U. Jake really played his heart out on this. I almost stopped it at 3:00 because of that manicky part but am glad I stuck around for his sweet ending.

Beautiful music :o) (I am stopping by on Alphabe-Thursday...and since my name starts with "M", I'm supposed to go through all the even numbers...but wanted to take a peek at your Ukelele post :o)

My hubby is from Hawaii and he, my son and other family play the uke :o) (since I am not musically talented, I love to listen to others who are!)

Blessings & Aloha!
Thank you for sharing! I posted back with "H" a little about the Ukelele with my Hawaii post here:
