| To get back on topic, I figure "minutes" may be an exaggeration.
I've got nothing against ukes (I almost weakened and bought one last year) but it's one of those things that a grown man should do in private. Once video is involved it must surely break some of your strange local ordinances? |

I guess technically you can do that when your eyebrows are put on with a pencil |

Paul McCartney plays a uke at his concerts that George Harrison bought him. (so I've heard) Does this do anything at all to legitimize the uke?
How about that kid who sang 'Somewhere over the Rainbow' on the closing credits of the movie '50 first dates'? (can't pronounce his name, but voice of an angel and I didn't know the uke could sound that good!) |

Israel Kamakawiwo`ole although he's wasn't a kid or small for that matter, he passed away a few years ago.
There's sheet music out for the song that can be played on the guitar. IZ tuned his Uke to DGBE, which allows the song to be played with a capo at V position. It's KILLER on the 12-string!

Location: Upper Left USA | On a Baritone Uke (the big gun also DGBE) you phrase like guitar chords. Papoose or capo at 5th.
Anyone that wants, email me and I'll reply with a similar cheet sheet.
If you can hit all the notes you win a door prize.
Ukes look like fun but I am enjoying my Papoose. And it doesn't like to be called a "Travel Guitar"! |

That same IZ version is on the soundtrack of "Finding Forrester" as well, as is a simply beautiful instrumental version by Bill Frisell . . |
