I have never played a uke and never understood why so many OFC'ers were into them... I didn't know you could do that with a uke! My hat is off to that guy, truly a pleasure to listen to! mtnbikerfred Posted 2006-04-01 12:24 AM (#259797 - in reply to #259792) Subject: Re: Amazing Uke Player!

It's just the most musical thing I have seen in a long time. Standingovation Posted 2006-04-01 8:15 AM (#259800 - in reply to #259792) Subject: Re: Amazing Uke Player!

I just can't get the image of Arthur Godfrey out of my mind.
