Wow, that's the best of company. Thanks so much.

[@jakobirust4440]

Love the style brother.

[@ronaldstevenson7925]

Very much enjoyed listening to that, would love to spend an afternoon drinking in a small venue with him playing in the corner, eyes twinkling

[@uklecticfred5918]

Thanks Ronald, the small venue sound perfect, just my kind of place. Cheers!

[@gwhiz1957]

I like to spend an afternoon learning to play that song, but I’m afraid it would take a lifetime of dedication and practice. Do you have that arrangement for sale? It’s chocked full off so many goodies.

[@edt.5118]

For some reason I was reminded of Yank Rachel's mandolin in blues string bands. On to TH-cam search...

[@uklecticfred5918]

Thanks Ed. I hadn't heard of Yank Rachel before but I really enjoy his playing and such a great blues voice! I think it may be that the timbe of the tenor uke and mandolin are quite similar at times. Cheers!

[@markc1601]

Superbly played Squire. I've been trying to get my head around this arrangement on and off and know Its a tricky one to play so huge thumbs up from me.

[@uklecticfred5918]

Thanks much Mark, keep at it - it's very rewarding and folks love to hear it played.

Love this! How does one learn to play like that? Any books you recommend?

[@uklecticfred5918]

Thanks much. I don't have any books to recommend sorry, I learned this by watching David Beckingham play it.

[@darwinia8]

Beautiful tune, and beautiful uke. Who is the maker?

[@uklecticfred5918]

Raymond Rapozo of Island Ukulele of Kauai. Glad you like it

[@darwinia8]

@@uklecticfred5918 Thanks! I'll check him out. You've got yourself a beauty. :)

[@ukulelenick]

Awesome my friend! May I ask what uke is that? 😃

[@uklecticfred5918]

Hi Nick, sorry for the late reply. It is a tenor made by Raymond Rapozo of Island Ukulele of Kauai.

[@MyJ2B]

Hi Pat ! It's Jerry Battista here. GREAT playing. I am tempted to "steal" your audio file and add myself (guitar) plus bass and drums. Just for fun.

[@uklecticfred5918]

Hi Jerry, just saw this. That would be great if you want to do any dubbing. I do play a bunch of jazz standards if there is something else you would like to try. Cheers!

[@MyJ2B]

@@uklecticfred5918 I am thinking of Izzys' combo of Over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful World (for COVID "flattening the rainbow curve") using Izzy's version. I have the chords and lyrics. I am busy writing with Jake at the moment but June should clear up. I replied on EMail. Stay in touch.

[@saschaz1]

Great playing! Uke sounds great too! Which brand is it?

[@uklecticfred5918]

Thanks Sascha, it is a tenor uke made by Raymond Rapozo from Island Ukulele of Kauai. I was lucky enough to travel to Kauai 5 years back. Cheers!

[@alieheadley7238]

Are you using a different type of uke or did you tune it differently to make it sound like that?

[@congerscott6064]

Sounds like standard g,c,e,a tuning to me.

[@uklecticfred5918]

@@alieheadley7238 yup, standard re-entrant tuning. Cheers!

Thanks so much!

[@richardcrilley11]

Sounds great, you should post some lessons, I think there would be a lot of interest.

[@uklecticfred5918]

Hey Rick, nice to hear from you. Good idea about the lessons. Cheers.
